history

The stone church of St. Laurentius was built in the 12th century. Großenwiehe was first mentioned in writing in 1462 (lib. Cens.). The place name goes back to Old Danish wighæ to Old Norse vīgi as a description for a fortification or fortification, whereby the suffix -vi (in Danish) or -wiehe (in German) has become due to the omission of the intervowel g . The name probably refers to an inland dune or an earth wall east of the place, which represents a naturally blown sandall, which may have been used for defense purposes. The name could possibly also refer to altn. refer to vē for a sacred site or viði as a term for forest. Schobüll (Jutland Skofel ) was first mentioned in 1493 (Rep. Dipl.). The place name is made up of Danish. skov (old Danish. skōgh , cf. oldn . skōgr ) for forest and -bøl for settlement together.

The municipality was created in 1970 by merging the municipalities of Schobüll ( Skovbøl ) and Großenwiehe.

The Danish school (Store Vi Skole) built in 1949 was also used as a church until 1999.

In 1972 the Grossenwiehe-Lindewitt Trade and Industry Association was founded. It is one of the oldest rural trade and industry associations in the district.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Lowered divided by gold and blue. Above a standing, silver armored fork harrier, below an oat fruit stand in confused colors. "

The divided shield of the coat of arms of Großenwiehe expresses the two districts of the municipality. The coat of arms figure in the upper half of the shield represents a consecration , a species of bird of prey that has become rare . Since the name of the bird is "Wieh" in Low German, it found its way into the coat of arms as a popular interpretation of the place name. Even today, despite their declining population, consecrations are typical birds of prey in the region. However, the scientific derivation of the community name is different: Old Danish “Wighæ”, meaning “fortification”, “ Schanze ”, denotes an earth wall east of the village, which is, however, of natural origin. The oat stalk indicates that agriculture used to be the real source of income for the inhabitants and is still an important source of income today.

The list of cultural monuments in Grossenwiehe includes the cultural monuments entered in the list of monuments of the state of Schleswig-Holstein.

The community's cultural monument is essentially the church with its churchyard.

A legend reports that this church in Großenwiehe was once built by a giant, while at the same time another giant also built a church in Medelby . Since they only had one hammer to cut the stones, they threw the hammer to each other when needed. In one of the throws they damaged the tower of the Wallsbüller Church, which is why it now only has a low, separate bell tower. - Another legend reports that the giant from Großenwiehe once had a quarrel with the neighboring giant in Handewitt . Once the giant von Handewitt got so angry that he hurled a large stone as far as Grossenwiehe, which you can still see there. - In the well-known legend about the origin of the ox islands , which are not far from Flensburg, the next larger city, a giant also plays an important role. - At Großenwiehe there is also the Oxlundmoor where the legend of the Nis Puk from the Lindewitt farm ends.
