Goesharde
The Goesharde (rarer, but also existing spelling: Goosharde; Danish: Gøs Herred , Frisian: Gooshiird) is a landscape on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein . It is divided into the Nordergoesharde around Bredstedt and the Südergoesharde around Husum . The Arlau forms the natural border between the two Goesharden . In the south the Goesharde borders on Stapelholm and the Treene , in the north on the Bökingharde .
Most of the Goesharden are located on the Schleswig Geest . At Schobüll near Husum is the only section of the mainland where the Geest directly borders the North Sea. To the north of it there are extensive marshes with the Hattstedtermarsch , the Reußenkögen and the Halligen .
The origin of the name of the first part of the word Goes is not clear: According to one interpretation, the name could be derived from Gans (Danish: gås ). The second part relates to the Harde , a historic Danish administrative district that was located below a Syssel .
Until the founding of the Prussian province Schleswig-Holstein in 1867, the Nordergoesharde formed the Bredstedt landscape within the offices and Harden in Schleswig .
