Coordinates: 54 ° 25 ′ 32 ″ N , 9 ° 4 ′ 55 ″ E
The Dammkoog (formerly "Moorbergkoog") is a Koog on the Eiderstedt peninsula in the Schleswig-Holstein district of North Friesland .
It lies in the triangle of Koldenbüttel , Südermarsch and Witzwort . Covering year: 1489, size: 522 hectares, dike length: around 4.3 kilometers.
The dike was started from two sides, as the political border ran through the middle of the Koog. The northern part was built by the Südergoeshardern , the southern part by the Koldenbüttlers. With its completion, Eiderstedt's island position was over.
There is no documentary evidence of when the extraction of the Dammkooges began. The residents of Wisch , Rantrum and Mildstedt are said to have turned to the Schleswig bishop Nikolaus IV. Wulf (1429–1474) and the bailiff of Gottorf Paul Sehestedt for permission due to the poor condition of their dykes and the impairments caused by neighboring oaks of the king for the damming of the Nordereider to Nobiskrug , which they also received. An agreement should then have come about between the residents of the Geest and those of Koldenbüttel , according to which half of the dikes should be built and maintained on each side. With a deed dated June 30, 1489, the bailiff received 24 Demath dyke-free land in the new Koog. According to Iven Knutzen , the area is said to have been referred to as Pauls Koog and even comprised 40 Demaths, which Sehestedt was given as thanks for the energetic, armed commitment to the completion of the dam, since the dyke was built three times at the instigation of Nordstrander and Utholmer to maintain shipping had been sabotaged.
