Tinglev (German: Tingleff) is a town with a population of 2,783 (1 January 2024) in Aabenraa Municipality in Region of Southern Denmark on the Jutland peninsula in south Denmark. Tinglev is a base for German minority institutions in Southern Jutland, the minority Schleswig Party receiving 18.0% of the town's vote in the municipal elections of 2021.
From 1866 until 1920, Tinglev was part of the Prussian Province of Schleswig-Holstein and formed a part of Imperial Germany. Notable figures born there include Hjalmar Schacht, a liberal economist who introduced a wide variety of schemes in Germany before and during The Third Reich to tackle the effects that the Great Depression had on that country, and was a key player in Nazi Germany's economic steps towards re-armament.
