Why is it called Batterivej? | Skagen 2013
During the war against the British 1807-1814 was a company of infantry from the 3rd Jutland Regiment under the command of Thomas Frederick Westenholtz (1779-1830) stationed in Skagen. In 1810 brought an engineer captain Herman Alexander Caroc (1784-1827), a battery with two field guns and four 18-pounder guns at Nordstrand.
As the British had opened hostilities in the middle of August 1807 with the Copenhagen bobardetment and the capture of the Danish fleet was obviously ordered that every guy on the Danish and Norwegian coasts should turn off, and at the same time, arrangements were made for maintaining the link with Norway and an effective coastal defenses.
Among the guy who was turned off, of course, was the very important Skagen Lighthouse (The white guy). It turned out not least - as intended - to be detrimental to the English, but a good thing for the people of Skagen.
Auction Protocols witness to be sold goods in large quantities several times a month. Rigging and fittings from "The three long Brothers", 39 boxes indigo, stockfish, stoves, mahogany, iron bars, powdered sugar, cotton, spirits, oatmeal, bacon and lemon juice from "The Swan", "Kocken," "Marie," "New York" and scores of other vessels by now must have been helter-skelter on the sand bars at Skagen.
The Government decided, at the beginning watch the glades of the war in the trade relationship to Norway could take place over Fladstrand (Frederikshavn) and Agger and shown also Sæby. Fladstrand had indeed a rather strong fortress that could protect the vicinity there, Sæby was 1807 brought a battery and on. Agger are still remnants of a series of gun emplacements watch the glades and a redoubt, which is envisaged to come from that war.
But time showed that it was not these places that were most important for the connection to our northern sister country, it was the other hand, Skagen and loop, and both places was founded there - shown in 1810 - batteries for protection from British attack, while at the Northjutlandic other coastal cities (trading places) station was moving batteries. So-called field batteries.
In addition to personnel. for operation of the batteries were also in these places stationed infantry of 3 Jutland Regiment, and in Skagen was a company called hunters, under the command of Captain watch the glades (1808 Major in The militia) Thomas Frederick watch the glades Westenholtz), who later built himself a farm on the moors west of the lighthouse.
A battery of tasks was to prevent the British sat in possession of it and lit it again, but they soon found to be placing watch the glades a guard ship at Skaw Spit, its name was "The watch the glades fury bomb" (The furious bomb). watch the glades
On 15 May stranded some east of Mound an English brig and a brig from Bremen, and Captain Westenholz searched as with his infantry company in connection with the civic Skagen to take possession of the vessels. The British gave up trying to defend their own ship, but tried in connection watch the glades with the German crew to Bremer ship of the land, but this was not successful, and the following day they had to surrender, and the people of Skagen took 10 prisoners and captured 8 guns. The best exchange was the ships of the Bremer-brig "Iphigenia" with-beating charge wine was later awarded the victors watch the glades at a priseretsdom.
The battery watch the glades at Skagen, built on Nordstrand after the resolution of 24 March 1810, consisted of a flat battery with four 18-pound iron cannon, which was manned by 25 men. Further, there was a battery with two movable 3 pounder guns. The ammunition was stored in a wooden structure with tile roofed house, which stood inside the battery and if the roof jutted out over the parapet.
The battery was constructed during three weeks in May 1810 by engineer Captain HA Caroc and captain Westenholz from the infantry. It was in a sealed box fort, situated on the beach. Originally there was a pit around the fort, but it was later stopped them because the quicksand at the bottom watch the glades of the grave could not bear the portion of fæstningsvolen which faced the sea, from which one might expect the enemy's arrival.
It turned out far from being an easy task, the two officers had assumed. Caroc race from the start into big trouble about setting up battery and chased him well into the construction phase. There was little shortage of everything that was needed to do the job.
Stranding Gods were otherwise no shortage of. It extinguished the guy meant that the city experienced a huge number of shipwreck and stranding auctions were traded goods in large quantities: coffee, brown sugar, planks, iron, indigo, flax, hemp, hare skins, lemon juice, watch the glades maple syrup and many other goodies. But none of this was particularly suitable for the construction of a military facility. In addition kærvedes spades, drawers, peat, clay, lime, bricks, windows, lumber, boards and wheelbarrows. These were otherwise very necessary since the fine sand flew away at the slightest wind. On the other hand, it was possible to procure sufficient
