=== Geographical location === The municipal area of Fleckeby lies within the natural region known as Schwansen, Dänischer Wohld (and Amt Hütten) (unit no. 701), at the transition from the Peninsula, situated between the Schlei inlet and the Eckernförde Bay, to the Hüttener Berge, which continue to the southwest.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2021-12-29 |format=PDF |pages=8 |title=Liste: Zuordnung der Gemeinden zu den Naturräumen |url=https://www.schleswig-holstein.de/DE/Fachinhalte/L/landwirtschaft/Downloads/Duerrehilfe_Liste_Gemeinde.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref><ref name="OSM">{{cite web|access-date=2021-12-29 |title=Relation: Fleckeby (557144) bei OpenStreetMap (Version #11) |url=https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/557144}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
Within the municipality, the Große Hüttener Au (also called ''Noelsbek''; known locally in Fleckeby as the ''Fleckebyer Au''; Danish: ''Nølsbæk'' or ''Nolsbæk'') flows into the Große Breite of the Schlei, together with the Osterbek, which joins it shortly before the confluence.<ref name="DAN">{{cite web|access-date=2021-12-29 |title=Topographische Karte SH im Digitaler Atlas Nord |url=https://danord.gdi-sh.de/viewer/resources/apps/Anonym/index.html?lang=de#/}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
=== Administrative divisions === The municipality includes the villages of Fleckeby, Götheby-Holm (Danish: ''Gøteby-Holm''), Herweg, Dürwade (Danish: ''Dyrvad''), Neumöhlhorst, and Engsiek (Danish: ''Engsig''), as well as the residential estate belonging to Möhlhorst Manor (Danish: ''Mølskov'').
== History == The village of ''Fleckby'' was first mentioned in documents in 1196, on the occasion of the dissolution of the St. Michael's Monastery in Schleswing, under the name ''Fekabicol''. The place name is of Danish origin and roughly means "Herb Village", deriving from ''feka'', or "marsh herb". The village of ''Götheby'' was first recorded in 1327; its name means "village or settlement of Gøtti," a personal name that refers to the Goths or Geats.<ref>Wolfgang Laur: ''Historisches Ortsnamenlexikon von Schleswig-Holstein'', 2. Auflage, Neumünster 1992, S. 275</ref>
In 1856, Fleckeby became the main settlement of the Hüttener Harde. The ''Hardesvogt'' (regional administrator) Maximilian Franciscus Blaunfeldt had the building of the so-called ''Hardesvogtei'' constructed here.
On 12 February 1974, the formerly independent municipalities of Götheby-Holm and Fleckeby were merged.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://www.destatis.de/DE/Themen/Querschnitt/Digitalisierung/Gemeindeverzeichnis/Download-Gemeindeverzeichnis.html |title=Historisches Gemeindeverzeichnis für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
