Schwansen

Schwansen (Danish: Svans or Svansø, meaning "swan island/peninsula") is a peninsula in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, protruding into the Baltic Sea.

It is located between Eckernförde Bay to the south and the Schlei inlet to the north.

The Danish dialect South Jutlandic in the Angel Danish variant was still spoken in Schwansen around 1780 (the last time in the villages near the Schlei).

Denmark lost Schwansen following the Second Schleswig War in 1864.
