history

Place name and development of the community

The place name "Hillgroven" is made up of Groven or Groben , which means the vegetation on the foreland (Old Frisian: groien , English: to grow = to grow; also related to green ). The meaning of the prefix is ​​unclear, presumably it is based on the English the hill , especially if one considers the field name "Twischen den Bargen". Natural elevations on the foreland (or old sausages ) may have given rise to the name.

In 1601 Hillgroven was diked.

In 1846 Hillgroven achieved the status of an independent municipality for the first time. Before that, the village belonged to Norddeich .

On the basis of an ordinance for the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein of September 22, 1867, Hillgroven was incorporated into the parish of Wesselburen . After the dissolution of the parish land community of Wesselburen on April 1, 1934 Hillgroven was again an independent rural community .

In 1908 Hillgroven was connected to the telephone network and from around 1920 to the public electricity network.

The machine ring was founded in Hillgroven in 1963 .

Around 1965, the independent Hillgroven fire brigade was dissolved.

In 1990 the first wind turbine went into operation in the village.
