Aukrug (Low German: Aukrog) is a municipality in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is situated approximately 13 km west of Neumünster, and 35 km southwest of Kiel. The municipality was established on 31 December 1969 through the merger of the previously independent communities of Bargfeld (including the village of Tönsheide), Böken, Bünzen, Homfeld (including Bucken), and Innien. Its name derived from a regional geographical designation, and it is officially recognized as a state-approved resort (staatlich anerkannter Erholungsort).
