Everschop

Everschop ( Danish also Everskop , derived from Hever) is the name of a harde that comprised the north-western part of today's Eiderstedt in the Schleswig-Holstein district of North Friesland . Historically Everschop was a harde of the North Frisian Uthlande in the south of the Kingdom of Denmark , later the Duchy of Schleswig .

geography

The word Everschop is derived from the tidal current Hever and means Heverschaft . In the Middle Ages , the area was part of the thirteen marshland and island hards known as Uthlande (outer lands) . During the second Marcellus flood in 1362, Everschop - like the Harde Utholm  to the west - became an island. In addition, the sea broke northeast of the village of Uelvesbüll into the Witzwort- Lundenberger sandwall, creating a connection between Hever and Eider . This connection was called Nordereider . In the course of land reclamation in the following centuries, Everschop grew back together with the Harden Utholm and Eiderstedt to form the peninsula . The name Dreilande became common. Today the resulting peninsula bears the name Eiderstedt.
