Location of the municipality of Jerrishoe in the Schleswig-Flensburg district

Jerrishoe ( Danish : Jerrishøj ) is a municipality in the Schleswig-Flensburg district in Schleswig-Holstein . Jerrishoefeld ( Jerrishøjmark ) is located in the municipality.

history

The place Jerrishoe was first mentioned in 1196 as Erijshogh . The place name is composed of the personal name Jerrik ( Old Norse Eiríkr ) and hoe for hill (Danish høj ). According to another interpretation, the name is composed of the Danish words jern (iron), ris (bush) and høj ( barrow ). In the extensive oak forests of the region, iron was extracted from lawn iron ore for centuries , which can still be seen today in piles of slag and remains of smelting furnaces.

The Jerrishoe Coin Find

The coin find in Jerrishoe occurred in the late 19th or early 20th century. The exact year can no longer be clearly determined. The find was made by three workers when they were digging a trench in Jerrishoer Holzung. A strong oak was in line and had to be cleared. Under the root area close to the trunk, at a depth of one and a half to two meters, there was a heap of 55  silver coins . The owner of the property took the coins and sold all but four of them to a merchant from Bad Oldesloe . At the beginning of the Second World War these coins were still in the merchant's possession, after which there are no records of the whereabouts of the coins. The remaining four coins were still in the possession of a Jerrisho family in the 1930s.
