Tombstone Tales
Cachen hedder Tombstone Tales. Bag hver gravsten på kirkegården ligger der en historie. Mange folk har levet et jævnt og almindeligt liv. Jeg har gravet nogle af de mere spændende historier frem. Nogen vil måske kalde mig Sherlock Holm. Det er disse steder, der skal besøges.
Her vil jeg fortælle lidt om de forskellige personer/begivenheder. Jeg har valgt en kort beskrivelse her i beskrivelsen, da det ellers bliver alt for omfattende. Her er link til et PDF-dokument, hvor der er en længere beskrivelse. Der er der også links, hvor der kan læses meget mere.
Jeg ved, at jeg ikke behøver at nævne det, men jeg gør det alligevel. Respekter at vi er på en kirkegård.

Kort beskrivelse af personer/begivenheder:
Tinglev og Tinglev Kirke - i korte træk.
Tinglevs tidlige historie begyndte i den vestlige del omkring kirken. Vest for kirken er der udgravet en boplads fra yngre romersk-/ældre germansk jernalder (4.-5. årh. e.kr.). Øst for Tinglev findes Olmerdiget / Olgerdiget fra 3. århundrede e.Kr. Olmerdiget er et 13 km langt forsvarsværk bestående af 90.000 egetræsstolper og en grav foran på 75-200 cm dybde
Tidligere lå her en trækirke opført på 3 gravhøje. Den nuværende kirkes ældste del går tilbage til Valdemars tid (1157 – 1241). Ifølge et vandresagn er kirkerne: Bylderup-Ravsted, Tinglev-Bjolderup og Hjordkær-Uge parvis opført af øksekastende kæmper.
Altertavlen er en lutheransk fløj altertavle med predella fra sidste
fjerdedel af 1500-tallet. Her skildres en protestantisk gudstjeneste. Typen findes kun to steder i Danmark.
Korbuekrucifiks med sengotisk figur fra 1400-tallets slutning, på unggotisk kors,
fra omkring 1250—75.
Prædikestol i renæssance, af den såkaldte vestflensborgske type, fra tiden efter 1614.
Tinglev and Tinglev Church - in short.
Tinglev's early history began just west of the church. Here a settlement has been found from the younger Roman / older Germanic Iron Age (4th to 5th centuries). East of Tinglev was Olmerdiget / Olgerdiget from 3rd century AD. Olmerdiget is a 13 km long defense work consisting of 90,000 oak peaks and a grave in front which depth was 75-200 cm.
Earlier there was a wooden church built on 3 burial mounds. The oldest part of the present church dates back to Valdemar's time (1157 - 1241). According to an old legend, the churches: Bylderup-Ravsted, Tinglev-Bjolderup and Hjordkær-Uge were build 2 by 2 by axe fighting giants.
The altar board is a Lutheran wing altarpiece with predella from last quarter of the 16th century. Here is a protestant service depicted. The type exists only in two places in Denmark.
The crucifix with a lascivious figure from the 1400s, on the young Gothic cross,
from about 1250-75.
Renaissance pulpit, of the so-called West Flensborg type, from the time after 1614.
Mindesten over faldne i “Den store krig”.
Efter slaget ved Dybbøl i 1864 mistede Danmark Sønderjylland/Nordslesvig til Tyskland. Efter afstemning kom Sønderjylland tilbage til Danmark i 1920. Derfor kæmpede mange folk i tysk tjeneste under “Den store krig” (senere 1. verdenskrig).
Mindestenen indeholder navnene på de 71 faldne fra sognet.
Memorial stone for the fallen in the Great War
After the battle at Dybbøl in 1864, Denmark lost Sønderjylland / Nordslesvig to Germany. After voting, Sønderjylland became Danish again in 1920. Therefore, many people fought in German service during "The Great War" (later World War I).
The memorial stone contains the names of the 71 fallen from the parish.
Commonwealtgravene
Under 1. verdenskrig havde tyskerne en krigsfangelejr lige udenfor Tinglev. Fangerne udførte arbejde i omegnen. Kost og logi var dårlig. Som en følge af det og af tidligere strabadser døde i marts og april 1915 ti britiske og fem russiske fanger. 1 blev senere ramt af et lyn.
Alle gravstenene er udført efter den britiske krigsgravskomites standard.
War graves
During WW1 Germany had a prisoners of war camp right outside of Tinglev. The prisoners worked in the area. Diet and lodging were poor. Because of that and their earlier struggles 10 british and 5 russian prisoners died march 10. 1915. One was later struck by lightning. All tombstones are performed according to the British War Excavation Commitment standard.
Jens Peter Jessen
Jens Peter Jessen var hovedmanden bag 20. juni attentatet i 1944 mod Hitler. Filmatiseret som “Operation Valkyrie” med Tom Cruise i hovedrollen. På grund af et færdselsuheld udførte han ikke selv attentatet. For sin rolle i attentatet blev han henrettet i Berlin 30. november 1944.
