Husum ( North Frisian Hüsem ) is the district town of the district of North Frisia in Schleswig-Holstein . The city is known literarily as the gray city by the sea .

geography

Geographical location

The urban area of ​​Husum extends on both sides of the Husumer Mühlenau . This crosses the two harbor basins within the urban area and flows into the Wadden Sea depth of the Hever . The city is also located at the transition from the Schleswig Geest to the Eiderstedter Marsch region, which begins to the southwest . In the adjoining outer area to the north, the Porrenkoog (originally: Nordhusumer Koog) and in 1848 the Dockkoog were diked to secure the Husum urban area. The Husumer Mühlenau flows past both bows to the south in the North Frisian Wadden Sea area. The northwestern district of Schobüll is in turn on the Geestrücken, which is advancing here to the northwest.

The 1987 census in Germany registered the population on the basis of the following list of places to live. After that, the city was divided as follows:

  • Dockkoog
  • Dreimühlen (Danish: Tremølle )
  • Husum (core city)
  • Kielsburg (Danish: Kilsborg )
  • Rödemis (Danish: Rødemis , North Frisian: Rööms ; village in the south of the city incorporated in 1934) with Norderschlag (new residential area) and fishing settlement
  • Schauendahl ( Skovdal )

The municipality of Schobüll, which was only incorporated on January 1, 2007, was structured as follows in the 1987 housing directory:

Further subdivisions of the core city Husum are also common:

  • Old town
  • Business park east
  • Downtown
  • Neustadt (Danish: Nystaden )
  • Nordhusum (Danish: Nørre Husum ) (historic village incorporated in 1929)
  • Osterhusum (Danish: Øster Husum ) (historic village incorporated in 1934)

history

Beginning of settlement

On the area of ​​today's city there were settlement areas from prehistory and early history . In various archaeological work - e.g. For example, when the Osthusum mill pond was drained in 1866 and 1867, the railway bridge over the harbor was built in 1885 and the new lock for shipping in 1902 - corresponding finds from the Stone Age came to light. The first dated mention in the city chronicles, however, comes from the year 1252. The Danish King Abel tried to enforce a new tax in North Friesland, which the Frisians refused to pay. Abel then went to the field, but died in the battle on Mildedamm near Husembro (Husumbrücke).

In the past, the neighboring town of Mildstedt was the center of this area, but after the Second Marcellus Flood, the significance of the place changed: The storm surge known as the “Grote Mandränke” destroyed large parts of the coast. The country was torn apart, islands and the town of Rungholt sank, entire stretches of land were permanently flooded. As a result, Husum was henceforth a port city. The Husum people, who now had direct access to the sea, set up a marketplace. Goods could be delivered directly from distant places by ship, and a flourishing market soon developed.

urbanization

It should be the beginning of the rise of today's North Frisian district town. Husum had already increased in population in 1372 and had grown so much by 1398 that two villages emerged from it, which until 1431 bore the names Osterhusum and Westerhusum.

The beginning of the 15th century was marked by the increasing importance of the urban port. This resulted from a dispute between Denmark and the Hanseatic League . When the Hanseatic League of warships blocked the sound several times for all merchant ships that did not come from Hanseatic cities, the Danish king decreed that goods should be landed in Husum and transported from there by land to Flensburg .

In 1409 the place name Husum was mentioned for the first time. It is derived from the prefix Hus , which means something like houses or settlement, and the suffix um from the Nordic “an der Au”.

In 1421 Husum was given justice as a patch . By the contract of the day of St. Luke in 1448 the parish of Mildstedt was broken away . With the consecration of the first church in 1507, the detachment was completed. At that time Husum grew to a population of around 3,000 and developed into an important port and market place in North Frisia .

In Husum there was a leprosarium from around 1440 , which was known as the St. Jürgen Hospital and was originally in the northeast of the city, from 1571 in the end of Easter. The successor to the leprosarium was the “Gasthaus zum Ritter St. Jürgen”, which is now an old people's home.

Early modern age

In 1465, Husum received from the Danish King Christian I the privilege of employing a town bailiff, holding his own court, and permission to fortify the place with a wooden palisade . As early as 1472, Husum wanted to obtain city ​​rights and took part in the unsuccessful uprising against King Christian I, which was initiated by his brother, Count Gerhard VII , Count of Oldenburg. King Christian took the place in 1472. Through the intercession of the bailiff von Ahlefeld and the stable man Tede Feddersen, the destruction of the patch was averted, but severe pillage, the deprivation of all privileges, the execution of around 70 citizens including the leaders and the eviction of other citizens practically destroyed the place in his Blossom. A severe penalty tax was imposed, which was not abolished until 1878.

From 1512 to 1521 the Walsrode carver Hans Brüggemann had his workshop in Husum and made the Bordesholm altar and the angel of the lost tabernacle for the old Husum Marienkirche from here. Expelled by the Reformation , which was spreading further and further in the north , Brüggemann went back to his hometown Walsrode in 1523.

Floor plan of the city and the Husum Palace , 1651 by Johannes Mejer

In 1522, when the Husum thaler was the first thaler in Schleswig-Holstein, the Reformation came to the city with the evangelical sermons of the preacher Hermann Tast, who has been employed at the Marienkirche since 1514 . She officially adopted the Lutheran faith in 1527. As one of the oldest Latin schools , the Husum School of Academics, today's Hermann Tast School , was founded in the same year .

The Duke Adolf von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf , who ruled from 1544 in the Gottorf part of the Duchy of Schleswig , had the castle in front of Husum built as a residence on the west coast on the site of an abandoned monastery from 1577 .

On April 20, 1603, Duke Johann Adolf granted the place town charter.

The founding of the neighboring town of Friedrichstadt in 1621 had a negative impact on Husum's economic development. In 1634 the Burchardi flood destroyed the island of Alt-Nordstrand, which had become rich through agriculture . Husum itself was not hit very badly, but many farmers from the area who regularly came to the market lost their lives, and many survivors lost their entire property. The economic boom was over for the time being.

The St. Mary's Church , 1829-1833 in the classical style of a golden age of Denmark designed by Christian Frederik Hansen built
The market square with the town hall around 1895

In the entire Danish state

In 1807 the old Gothic St. Mary's Church on the market , built in the early 15th century, was demolished due to its dilapidation. After many extensions, the old church gradually assumed the size of a cathedral church with a tower almost a hundred meters high. In the 20th century, the demolition was still regarded as one of the greatest losses in the architectural history of Schleswig-Holstein . In 1833 the new St. Mary's Church , built in the classical style based on plans by Christian Frederik Hansen , was inaugurated.

During the revolution of 1848 , as in large parts of Germany, there was a comparable campaign in Husum, the butter war : the Höker H. Petersen in the Krämerstrasse had bought all the butter available on the market to send it to Heligoland . This made it scarce and expensive. The dike workers at the new Dockkoogdeich got angry and attacked the business, damaging neighboring houses. Only a hastily assembled vigilante group was able to put an end to the hustle and bustle of the more or less drunk workers and arrest the men. A criminal court was held against them in the town hall.

In 1854 Husum received a railway connection with the Flensburg – Husum – Tönning line.

Time of the Prussian province Schleswig-Holstein

In 1867 Husum was, along with the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein part of the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein . The city began to grow again. This was particularly evident in the connection to the Marschbahn in 1887 , through whose economic influence one of the largest cattle markets in Northern Europe was created. In addition to the railway depot, the north station received a large cattle loading facility, where live cattle were loaded to the slaughterhouses in the south of Schleswig-Holstein and as far as Hamburg. In 1929 Nordhusum and in 1934 Osterhusum and Rödemis were incorporated, all of them villages in the parish of Mildstedt .

An early innovation push in the field of renewable energies , which was not yet so-called at the time , was the construction of a tidal power plant known as a flood power plant by the Hamburg engineer Emil Pein in 1912. A test facility for electricity production was built in the disused fish farm in Porrenkoog.

Entrance area of ​​the Husum-Schwesing Concentration Camp Memorial

In the period between 1935 and 1945, Husum was the location of the Wehrmacht . The city had its own military registration office and an air base . In addition to the above-mentioned Schauendahl air base, the Schwesing airfield , which was still unfinished at the time , existed in the area of ​​the neighboring community of Schwesing and was to function as a dummy airfield until the end of the war . Hunting units were mainly stationed at Schauendahl Air Base. In addition, the Navy has maintained a barracks in the city since 1940 , today's Air Base Barracks , which had functioned as a branch of the Mürwik Naval War School in Flensburg since the end of July 1943 . This Husum war school (Naval War School Husum) trained offspring officers for the naval artillery , fortress pioneers and the naval intelligence service until the end of the war .

Between September and December 1944, the Husum-Schwesing concentration camp existed about five kilometers northeast of Husum (in the Schwesingen district of Engelsburg ) ; the prisoners were used in the construction of the Friesenwall .

At the end of the Second World War , Germany was gradually occupied. On May 4, 1945, Hans-Georg von Friedeburg signed the surrender of all German troops in northwest Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark on behalf of the last Reich President Karl Dönitz , who had previously resigned in Flensburg-Mürwik with the last Reich government . The ceasefire entered into force at eight o'clock on May 5th. On the same day, a British advance command consisting of two soldiers arrived in Husum with a radio car. The two soldiers then negotiated with the sea ​​commander for North Friesland, Captain Frank Aschmann, the mayor and the district administrator regarding the handover formalities. The following day, the navy barracks on Flensburger Chaussee, today's air base barracks, were handed over to the British to station their soldiers.

In the post-war period

A striking event for the city and its importance in the area of ​​animal trade was the closure of the cattle market in 1970. By then, the market had become one of the most important transhipment points for live cattle in Germany. This importance was the result of the animals' pasture fattening in the North Friesland marshland. The administrative building of the then newly formed district of North Friesland was built on the vacated areas on the northern outskirts . A remnant of the tradition as a market location was the market hall in the southern area of ​​the area, which existed until a few years ago.

Incorporations

The urban population growth was in part the result of multiple incorporations. These included Nordhusum on March 21, 1929 and the current districts of Rödemis and Osterhusum on April 1, 1938. On January 1, 2007, the previously independent community of Schobüll joined the neighboring village.

coat of arms

Blazon : “In gold, a red picket fence with an open gatehouse, the red roof of which is decorated with three red flags on blue poles; in the gate opening two striding, red-tongued blue lions on top of each other. "

The image, first used as a seal and later as a coat of arms, comes from the late Middle Ages. The picket fence probably indicates the fortification right granted in 1465. In the center of the coat of arms are the Schleswig lions (opening the gate) .

Architectural sites in Husum include the Husum Castle with its gatehouse , the Market Square with the Marienkirche , the Tine Fountain and the Old Town Hall , the river port and the alley water series . This ensemble is complemented by the Husum water tower built in 1902 .

The castle in front of Husum was built by Duke Adolf von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf in 1577–1582. In the 17th century it was mainly used as the widow's seat of the ducal house. It was redesigned in 1750/51.

Bronze figure of the Asmussen-Woldsen monument ("Tine fountain")

On the market square is the Asmussen-Woldsen monument designed by Adolf Brütt in the form of a fountain, which is named after two of the city's benefactors, August Friedrich Woldsen and his cousin Anna Catharina Asmussen . The monument is popularly known as the "Tine Fountain". It is adorned with a bronze sculpture depicting a young fisher woman with a headscarf, in wooden shoes and with an oar in her right hand. The "Tine fountain" is considered the landmark of the city of Husum.

The Marienkirche is located on the eastern edge of the market square . It was completed in its current form in 1833. The designs come from the architect and Danish state master builder Christian Frederik Hansen .

The inland port with the adjacent ship bridge is a former shipyard. It almost reaches the market place. Today it is mainly developed for tourism. The western end of the harbor is formed by the folding road and rail bridges that cross here. The restaurant ship Nordertor , built in 1936 and thus the oldest floating restaurant ship in Germany , has been in the inland port since 1978 . There are also several leisure boats, including the traditional sailing ship Brittantje , built in 1914, a steel flat-bottomed ship originally built in the Netherlands for the IJsselmeer fishery .

In 2010, the state of Schleswig-Holstein leased the inland port from the Husumer Hafen e. V. (IGHH) to make it a port of call for traditional and museum ships.

The Theodor Storm House is located parallel to Hafenstrasse and in the extension of the ship bridge in the Wasserzeile , characterized by its proximity to the inland port and its small fishermen 's houses .

The Husum water tower was used for the central water supply for many years. Technically it was shut down in 1961, but still serves as a lookout tower.

Economic structure

Trade and service industries

Headquarters of the Husum fashion house CJ Schmidt

As a district town, Husum is the economic center of North Frisia. The city is the middle center for the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein with appropriate educational and administrative facilities. In the historic city center around the market square with the Marienkirche and the Großstraße there are numerous companies in the trade and service sector (including the sky branch of Coop , regional directorate of the Nord-Ostsee Sparkasse , Commerzbank branch, and fashion house CJ Schmidt ).

One of the largest weekly markets in Schleswig-Holstein is held on the market square every Thursday .

The Husum Shopping Center will be located at the former location of the Husum department store (formerly Hertie GmbH , previously Karstadt ) . The local Hertie branch was closed in 2009, as was the Quelle technology center. There were temporary usage options for both properties.

After initially the most Hertie location Husum department store had started its interim operations, this comprehensive in summer 2016.

Land trade

Silo systems of the two agricultural trading companies at the Husum outer harbor

At the outer harbor, two agribusiness companies ( ATR Landhandel and Hauptgenossenschaft Nord ) determine the commercial structure with their central warehouses. The high silo towers of the two companies shape the silhouette of Husum.

Renewable energy

The core of renewable energies in Husum is the production of parts for wind turbines - here the Senvion site.

As a further mainstay, the wind power industry is of particular importance for the city of Husum. The company Vestas has settled the central sales department for Central Europe in Husum. A research and development department is also located here. The company Senvion is on the site of the former Husum shipyard has a production site and the central service unit for the operation and monitoring of various wind farms represented.

This branch of industry is complemented by the HUSUM Wind trade fair, which takes place every two years . With almost 25,000 visitors (2008) it is known as the world's largest trade fair for the wind energy industry.

At the beginning of the 21st century it was planned to develop the port into a base for the construction and maintenance of offshore wind farms . The state government of Schleswig-Holstein withdrew its support for the project after a change of government in 2005 and redirected European funding.

The shipping company North Frisian Offshore GmbH is based in Husum and operates several large crew transfer vessels, including the Seewind 1 , to take workers to offshore wind farms.
