history

The community was first mentioned in writing as deme dorpe Birkenholm in a complaint by the Dithmarscher against the Schauenburg count Adolf VIII. During his last failed conquest he is said to have caused damage of 800 marks in the community.

The community was dominated by agriculture. In 1560 there were eight farmers growing rye , oats and buckwheat . A map from 1775 shows that only the Geest areas were cultivated; the large moor, forest and kink areas lay fallow. When the moors were reclaimed in the 19th century, a brick industry developed for a short time . From 1807 to the 1960s, Barkenholm housed a one-class elementary school .

On April 1, 1934, the parish state community Hennstedt was dissolved. All of their village communities, village communities and farmers became independent communities / rural communities, including Barkenholm.

Today four farmers still work in the community; Trade and industry have long since disappeared.
