The Friedrich-Wilhelm-Lübke-Koog was the last Koog in Schleswig-Holstein that was built for land reclamation . Later Köge such as the Hauke-Haien-Koog or the Beltringharder Koog were developed for reasons of coastal protection and are only partially or not at all inhabited.

The embankment of the Koog with an 8.5 kilometer long outer dike was the largest dyke construction project of the post-war period in Schleswig-Holstein. Since numerous refugees and displaced persons settled in Schleswig-Holstein as a result of the Second World War , new settlement areas were to be created as part of the North program . The North program was promoted by the then Minister-President of Schleswig-Holstein, Friedrich Wilhelm Lübke , who is also the namesake.

For the first time a dike was built into what was actually an unprepared Wadden Sea . The up to then usual procedure of dike was done in areas that had been prepared decades in advance and in which land had already partially formed. This dike construction employed around a thousand workers. On 16./17. September 1954 a storm surge destroyed large parts of the dike connection bridge. The water washed away large amounts of building materials. The situation began to become critical, as the dike had to be completed before the autumn and winter storms to avoid even greater damage.

After the dike was closed on October 21, 1954, the land still had to be drained and the infrastructure developed until the first families could settle in 1958/1959. The original settlement consisted of 41 standard farms, a school and an inn with a grocer. Local farmers and displaced persons from the eastern areas were settled in equal shares .

There is no longer a school or kindergarten, but some farms are still run by the families of the first settlers - now in the third generation. Wind energy is an important industry .

economy

Today's image of the Koog is shaped by numerous wind turbines . The community was number one in the German Solar League from 2009 to 2011 .

A wind and heat model region has been set up in Friedrich-Wilhelm-Lübke-Koog since autumn 2018. It was brought into being by the ARGE Netz, the Bürger-Windpark Lübke-Koog Infrastruktur, the municipality Friedrich-Wilhelm-Lübke-Koog and the Institute for Heat and Oil Technology (IWO). It is intended to show how hybrid heating systems with oil condensing boilers and electricity from renewable energy can be used to implement sector coupling on site in an intelligent manner and at comparatively low cost.
