Location of the municipality Emmelsbüll-Horsbüll in the district of North Friesland

Emmelsbüll-Horsbüll ( Danish Embsbøl-Horsbøl , Frisian : Ämesbel-Hoorbel ) is a municipality on the North Sea coast in the district of North Friesland in Schleswig-Holstein . It was created in 1974 from the merger of the two communities Emmelsbüll and Horsbüll.

geography

Emmelsbüll-Horsbüll is a scattered settlement which, in addition to the two parishes , the street village of Emmelsbüll and the hall- like Alt-Horsbüll located on a large warft , also includes several smaller towns.

history

The first traces of settlement date from the migration period.

Horsbull

Horsbüll, today the smaller of the two places, was first mentioned in 1231 in the Waldemar-Erdbuch as the center of what was then Horsbüllharde . The church dates from this time. Storm surges repeatedly forced the dike to be moved back. In this way, the western part of the Horsbüllharde disappeared over the centuries, so that the Horsbüller Church has stood directly on the dike since 1805. Today, however, behind it is no longer the North Sea , but the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Lübke-Koog . In addition to the hall-like old village center around the church, Horsbüll includes the street villages of Neu-Horsbüll, Humwerthusum and Diedersbüll.

The name explains a legend, according to which a landowner was rescued from the floods by his horse (= Hors ) during a large storm surge at the place where the Horsbüller Marienkirche stands today . Büll is often represented in the Frisian region and means settlement, village. JA Petersen has other versions of the origin of the place name.

Emmelsbull

Emmelsbüll on the southern edge of the Wiedingharde was also mentioned for the first time in the Waldemar Erdbuch. In addition to the village center with the church, it consisted of several farms on terps, including the formerly aristocratic Toftum estate . The area belonging to the municipality expanded through the extraction of the Kleiner Emmelsbüller Koog in 1554 and the Gotteskoog in 1566. From the 1950s the village was enlarged by several new development areas. In Südwesthörn, where today a pumping station drains the water collected in the Sielzug ( Alter Sielzug ) from the Gotteskoog and the Alter Wiedingharder Koog into the North Sea, there was a small port until the 20th century.

Church building

On February 1, 1974, the former municipalities of Emmelsbüll and Horsbüll were merged to form the new municipality of Emmelsbüll-Horsbüll.

Explanations:

Marienkirche

The Horsbüller Marienkirche from the early 13th century is the oldest church in the Wiedingharde. Today it is right next to the dike, which was set back in 1802. The tower replaced a previous one that had burned down in 1897.

The granite font is perhaps even older than the church . The community was quite wealthy. Before the Reformation it had three Gothic carved altars. In 1780 these were torn down and replaced by the baroque altar. The cover of the baptism was decorated with the figures of the apostles from one of the old altars. The pulpit is a donation from the then dikemaster from 1655 and is attributed to Berend Cornelissen from Husum. The inventory also includes figures of apostles and a crescent moon Madonna, early modern stalls with doors and carved cheeks and a larger than life triumphal cross .

Economy and Infrastructure

The community is dominated by agriculture, but the main sources of income are a mussel processing company and wind turbines . Similar to Galmsbüll, there is a community wind farm project .

Many residents make a living from tourism , be it by renting out holiday apartments , or through jobs on Sylt .

During the dike heightening of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Lübke-Koog, clay was removed from fields, as the nature conservation law, clay removal, i.e. H. Dredging of the tidal flats in front of the dike is no longer allowed. Where the clay was removed, there is now a lake plateau that is increasingly used for tourism (swimming area, fishing pond) and is also accepted as a resting place by migratory birds.

A station on the Marschbahn ( Emmelsbüll ) existed until the 1980s . As in many other villages, the infrastructure has been severely curtailed in recent decades.

Landesstraße 6 runs through Emmelsbüll-Horsbüll from the Danish border to Ost-Bordelum to Bundesstraße 5 .

Education, schools

On May 11, 1967, the new school building, which replaced the old school opposite the church, was inaugurated as the Emmelsbüll-Horsbüll- Marienkoog Village Community School . The new building also included a gym, an outdoor swimming pool and a caretaker's apartment. In 1977 the main school was relocated to Neukirchen due to the declining number of pupils . The primary school students from Klanxbüll and Friedrich-Wilhelm-Lübke-Koog were enrolled here. In 1983 the last secondary school class was dismissed. The preliminary class established in 1973 was dissolved in 1998. Due to the further decline in the number of pupils, the school was closed at the end of the 2009/2010 school year.

The primary and regional school is located in Neukirchen. Secondary schools are located in Niebüll .

Southwest Horn

Southwest Horn

The Südwesthörn bathing area is located on the outer dike south of the Südwesthörn pumping station ( ⊙ ) . Here you will find a lawn with beach chairs, a public shower and a jetty into the Wadden Sea . Originally there was a small port at this point, but this is still shown on the current nautical charts. Up until 1977, there was a sewer in the form of a (closed) stand column at the site of the south-west Hörn pumping station . When the tide was low, the gates for drainage of the inland were opened; when the tide was high, they were closed. The pumping station Südwesthörn has four electrically operated pumps with a total delivery rate of 12,000 liters / second.
From here, guided mudflat hikes into the Wadden Sea National Park take place.
