History

The Sport school in Mürwik, on the edge of the Naval Academy Mürwik, the seat of the Flensburg Government.

Mürwik was first mentioned in 1734.[2] The Naval Academy Mürwik was opened 1 October 1910.[3] At the start of World War I in August 1914, the academy was temporarily closed. The Germans thought the war would be short. It reopened in January 1915. Cadets spent three months training then would go to sea to train aboard cruisers.[3] At the end of World War II, after Adolf Hitler committed suicide, Admiral Karl Dönitz set up the last Nazi government at Flensburg-Mürwik academy.[4] A few days later Germany surrendered.
