South Schlewig denotes the southern half of the former Duchy of Schleswig on the Jutland Peninsula. The geographical area today covers the thirty or forty northernmost kilometers of Germany up to the Flensburg Fjord, where it borders on Denmark. Northern Schleswig, congruent with the former South Jutland County, forms the southernmost part of Denmark.

There is a natural link between Denmark, DSUK and the danish minority in South Schleswig in Germany. That is the reason why there still is a need take care of the danish symphathies in the area.

Since 1588 there has been held danish services in Flensburg. Today the danish church work is organized at Dansk Kirke i Sydslesvig, DKS (Danish Church in South Schleswig).

I Sydslesvig er der 35 danske menigheder, 70 prædikesteder og 24 præsteembeder. Hvert år går omkring 40.000 kirkegængere til en af de cirka 1.400 danske gudstjenester.

Det vidner om, at kirken har en stor forankring i det danske mindretal i Sydslesvig, og det er da også tydeligt, at kirken spiller en afgørende rolle for at bevare den danske identitet.
