The Schlei (German: Schlei, Danish: Slien) is a narrow inlet of the Baltic Sea in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. It stretches for approximately 40 km from the Baltic near Kappeln and Arnis (known as Germany's smallest town) to the City of Schleswig. Along the Schlei are many small bays and swamps. The important Viking settlement of Hedeby was located at the head of the firth (fjord), but was later abandoned in favor of the city of Schleswig. A museum has been built on the site, telling the story of the abandoned town.

Wir "taufen" diesen Saal heute auf den Namen von Marie Schlei, um damit die erste Ministerin für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zu ehren und ihrem Engagement für Frauen, Arbeiternehmerrechte und Menschen in Entwicklungsländern zu gedenken.
Außerdem hatte Marie Schlei einen ganz besonderes Verhältnis zu Afrika und hatte einen besonderen Draht zu den Menschen sowie einigen führenden Politikern Afrikas.
