| Description | Rendsburg (Danish: Rendsborg) is a town on the River Eider and the Kiel Canal in the northeastern part of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Rendsburg was first mentioned in 1199. An old form of its name was Reynoldsburgh. It became a part of Holstein in the 13th century, but was transferred to Schleswig in 1460. Many times the town passed from Danish to German control and vice versa. In the German-Danish War in 1864 Rendsburg was finally seized by Kingdom of Prussia and has remained part of Germany since. |
