Fresenhof ( Low German for Friesenhof ) is a song by the German songwriter Knut Kiesewetter from 1976 and one of his greatest successes. Because of its text written in Low German , it is one of the Low German songs that experienced a renaissance in Germany at the beginning of the 1970s .

The song describes the onset of autumn in North Friesland , with rain ( Wenn de Regen vun't Reitdach dröppt - When the rain drips from the thatched roof ), Storm ( When the Storm över't Feld geiht - When the storm goes over the field ) and gradually longer constant darkness ( Dat de Dag köder war und de Nach de duert lang - That the day gets shorter and the night lasts long ) as well as the moving closer together of friends and neighbors ( Because de Nabers sin this Tied ok not geern alleen - Because they Neighbors don't like being alone at this time of year either . The song ends with the line Denn was dat Harvs, op uns Fresenhof. - Then it will be autumn on our Friesenhof.
