King Frederick IV established an orphanage in Flensborg, Denmark, in 1725. This orphanage later became a hotel called the Flensborg-Hus. When Flensburg, Germany (the city having been annexed by Prussia in 1864), became the capital of the down-but-not-out Greater German Reich in 1965, Major General Johannes Drucker and his family were quartered there temporarily. The monogram of Frederick IV visible on the gate, and the Danish spoken by the hotel's staff, reminded Drucker of Flensburg's past.
