history

The place name Högel was first mentioned in 1377 and is derived from the word for hill (cf. old fries . Hugel , old Danish. Hughl ). The name Mirebüll was first mentioned in 1499 and probably means settlement on the Moor zu -büll , Danish. bøl , north fr. bel for settlement and dan. myr for moor.

Until the German-Danish War in 1864 the place belonged to the parish of Breklum ( Breklum Sogn ) within the Nordergoesharde ( Nørre Gøs Herred ) of the Duchy of Schleswig .

From 1923 onwards, the town was supplied with electricity from a jointly set up windmill.

On April 1, 1934, the parish of Breklum was dissolved. All of their villages, village communities and farmers became independent communities / rural communities, including Högel.
