The War in Schleswig: High-Street, Hadersleben - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. View of '...the principal street of Hadersleben, now the head-quarters of the allied Prussian and Austrian armies. This town, which is situated upon a gulf or inlet of the Baltic Sea, on the eastern coast of Schleswig, has a population of about six thousand souls. It is partly built on a small island, connected by bridges with the other portion of the town. Hence it was anciently called the Venice of Denmark, and the figure of the bridge is displayed among the heraldic insignia of the town. Its municipal privileges formerly included the right of coining money, and, by a charter granted in 1299, the Duke of Schleswig allowed this community to be governed by its own laws. Its history records, however, an ample share of those vicissitudes which have befallen the whole province, or duchy, under the suzerainty of Denmark. Since 1830, when great improvements were made in the harbour, the maritime trade of Hadersleben has much increased; and it is likely to profit by the intended continuation of the railway from Flensburg northward, passing through Hadersleben into the province of Jutland'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
