history

Drelsdorf was mentioned for the first time in 1352. As remains of settlement from the Iron Age show, the place is probably older. The reason for this settlement continuity is likely to be the location on Ochsenweg , which ran west of Drelsdorf. The Drelsdkörper Krog was a resting place on the Ochsenweg. The place name roughly means settlement of the unfree and goes back to old north. þræll and old Danish. thræll for unfree, slave, servant and old Danish. thorp for village, settlement . The village name is of Danish origin, as in the other torp name is the ending part to -rup disappeared, including medium and Danish jütländisch Trælstrup . In High German, on the other hand, the form of -dorf has prevailed.

The place was the main town of the parish of the same name (Danish sogn ) within the Nordergoesharde . After the annexation of Schleswig and Holstein by Prussia, a parish land municipality was formed from the area of ​​the parish of Drelsdorf . It comprised the three villages of Ahrenshöft , Bohmstedt and Drelsdorf. On April 1, 1934, the parish rural communities were dissolved and the village communities have since formed independent rural communities.

In 1926 Drelsdorf received a train station and a railway embankment on the Bredstedt – Löwenstedt railway line , both of which still exist today. Through this railway line, the Drelsdorfers could travel directly to Bredstedt and Flensburg. On November 1, 1942, the line was closed again. As late as 1942 - during the Second World War - the tracks were dismantled again and continued to be used in Poltava (Ukraine) due to the war.

St. Mary and St. John Church

Church in Drelsdorf

On the western edge of the village is the Romanesque St. Mary and St. John Church from the 12th century. In addition to Drelsdorf, Bohmstedt and Ahrenshöft also belong to the parish . In the church there is also the epitaph with the portrait that inspired Theodor Storm for his well-known novella Aquis submersus . This is partly based on a true story. In 1656 a pastor's son, ten-year-old Heinrich Bonnix, actually drowned. Theodor Storm, however, moved the plot to Hattstedt and turned the guilt of a servant into the guilt of the father.

Pastorate

The thatched-roof pastorate from 1847, which is under monument protection, is located near the church. The pastorate also includes the parish hall, newly built eight years ago, with a senior meeting place, youth wing, nursery and deaconry station.

Drelsdkörper Krog

Also on the western edge of the village is the listed Drelsdäne Krog ( Low German : Krog , inn) from 1909. The Krog was built on the site of a Krog building that was built around 200 years ago and which, due to the carelessness of a beggar roaming the country, was Foundation walls burned down. The Krog was founded by the innkeeper and horse dealer Lorenz Hinrichsen. He had acquired Napoleon Bonaparte's fortune by trading horses with the troops , bought a corner piece of land and built an inn on it. A carved white horse was placed in the gable as a sign of the horse trade. The municipality of Drelsdorf acquired the inn in 1992 and expanded the property with a view to club and village life, as well as to promote tourism.

Eichkratt Schirlbusch nature reserve

→ Main article : Eichkratt Schirlbusch

The small nature reserve consists of heather and one of the last Eichenkratt . It is around twelve hectares in size and consists of a remnant dune with deposits of drifting sand on top of the Saale-Ice Age bedrock . The Schirlbusch gets its name because of the dense bush forest of low, poor-growing oaks on poor sandy soils. In the protected area there are large windsheared juniper deposits. Furthermore, the area borders on heather areas with rich vegetation (including adder tongue , bearberry and spotted piglet weed ). For centuries this oak forest was used as pasture area (oak mast). The heather, which had been removed along with its roots, also served as litter in the barn.

Drelsdorf Forest

This state forest has a fitness trail and extensive cycling, hiking and riding trails that also lead through the nearby pastures and fields and along the Ostenau.

Drelsdorf poor house

The building was initially used as a farm, shortly before 1800 it became the property of the parish and then became a poor house. Then at the end of the 19th century the poor house burned down. According to various censuses, ten, twelve and even nineteen people lived in this small house with a total size of almost 80 square meters with more than ten rooms. The village chronicle even reports up to 45 people who were housed there. The ceilings of the poorhouse were less than two meters high, the floor was made of clay, the furniture was limited to a few chairs and wall beds, kettles, hymn books and prayer books. At times, people had less than two square meters per person. Because there were no doors in the room, the living space was divided among the families with chalk lines.

In 2003, the Drelsdorf poor house was rebuilt in the Schleswig-Holstein open-air museum in Molfsee to illustrate the topic of poor care and accommodation within the cultural and regional history of Northern Germany . This completes the North Friesland assembly there.
