Holstein in the
13th century, but was transferred to
Schleswig in
1460. Many times the town passed from Danish to German control and vice versa. In the
German-Danish War in
1864 Rendsburg was finally seized by
Kingdom of Prussia and
Austria. After 1866 the town was annexed by the
Kingdom of Prussia. Since that time it has remained German.
Its importance rose in
1895, when the Kiel Canal was finished. Although situated inland, Rendsburg became a seaport and a dockyard. The most prominent structure in town, a railway bridge made of steel, 2500 m in length and 41 m in height, was constructed in
1913. Mounted on the railway bridge, the Kiel Canal is also traversed by a
