  1. @mystic: Don't take it to seriously. Wiking is not an ethnicity and your ancestors could be just boring farmers or fishermen.

  2.  @corablunt-zy2be  but Norwegian would be Germanic, too

  3. Probably, because they are on opposite sides of the bay (small fjord). But from a today's tourist point, both places are very close together: there is basically just the museum, a chapel and a camping site in Haitabu today, but no real settlement - while Schleswig next to it is a town that offers restaurants, shops, accomondation ...

  4. the Wikingerschänke mentioned rather wants to entertain tourist and doesn't really want to please historians - but there are other restaurants and cafes in Schleswig were rather contemporary German creamcakes or fried whole plaice are very good.

  5.  @pzakp311  they have an outdoor area, too - where they entertain with activites like axe throwing and such. For me as a modern German I'm rather concerned with questions like if the dishwasher really gets the drinking horns clean etc. ;-)

  6. walking around in summer is much more pleasant there. Plus especially in early summer Schleswig is a very charming small town when the rose bushes bloom in front of the houses. The quarter called "Holm" - a former fishermen's village is especially picturesque.

  7. about 50% of north Germans have blond hair, those there is rather darker blond than light blond. Eye colors among Germans is fairly split evenly in thirds: on third blue, one third brown and last third green/gray/or other mixtures.

  14. Well what if you include the Jutland peninsula then Schleswig is geographically in it.

  15. The Danish party usually gets more votes than there are actually people of the Danish minority. A few ethnically "standard Germans" also send their kids to the Danish kindergarten or school, because their schools are better equipped and financed by the Danish state.

  17.  @monkeymoment6478  I see it similar ... though there might a bit more to it. Being Viking seems hard to grasp and what the actual difference is to the ordinary nordic population of this time.

  19. very interesting alternative facts - who would have know thought that the English have entirely Danish genes? I guess, not even the English knew that...
