coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on July 17, 1970.

Blazon : "In gold on a black shield base with a continuous golden braided fence, three tall green trees, the middle one of which is a little too high and the free spaces between them are filled by two small green trees."

The coat of arms of the Karrharde office goes back to the image seal of the Harde of the same name from 1359. In addition to the aspect of continuity between the earlier Harde and the current office as administrative institutions, the old seal receives a further current reference in that the five trees of the seal as a representative of the five former offices Enge, Klixbüll, Ladelund, Leck and Medelby can be viewed, from which the office Karrharde was formed in 1965. Medelby, however, resigned in 1970 and was incorporated into the office of Schafflund in the Flensburg district. The middle tree in the coat of arms represents today's office of Karrharde. The black tincture of the shield base refers to the interpretation of the name as "Swamp or Moorharde". The wattle fence refers to the former location of the municipalities near the North Sea and the associated need to build a dike as a historical symbol of "defense".

The coat of arms was designed by the Brunsbüttel heraldist Willy "Horsa" Lippert .

history

The Karrharde ( Danish : Kær Herred ) was one of the Harden in Viking Age Denmark, which belonged to the Ellumsyssel. It lay between the North Frisian settled Harden of the Uthlande and the surrounding area of ​​Flensburg on the Geest. The Tingstätte was in Leck .

In 1966, the municipalities of the dissolved offices Enge (without Stedesand , Störtewerkoog and Wester-Schnatebüll ), Klixbüll (without Bosbüll and Lexgaard ), Leck (without Leck) and Medelby formed the office Süderkarrharde. It comprised 23 parishes. On July 1, 1967, the Ladelund office , with which an administrative community had existed since the beginning of 1967, was dissolved and the municipalities also came to the office, which was renamed to Karrharde and now consisted of 27 municipalities:

Eight crew Böxlund Boverstedt Bramstedtlund Büllsbüll Tightness Engerheide

Get Wood field Jardelund Karlum Klintum Klixbull Knorburg

Ladelund Lütjenhorn Medelby Easter Schnatebüll Osterby Sands Schardebull

Soholm Sprakebull Stadum Tinningstedt Weesby Westre

In 1968 Büllsbüll was incorporated into Achtrup. With the formation of the Nordfriesland district in 1970, the six municipalities of the former Medelby office (Böxlund, Holt, Jardelund, Medelby, Osterby and Weesby) came to the Flensburg-Land district in the Schafflund office . In the same year Boverstedt was incorporated into Ladelund.

In 1974 the number of communities was reduced to ten: Klintum and Oster-Schnatebüll were incorporated into Leck, Holzacker to Stadum, Lütjenhorn to Achtrup and the six communities of Enge, Engerheide, Knorburg, Sande, Schardebüll and Soholm joined to form the municipality of Enge-Sande together.

On January 1, 2008, the municipalities of the office merged with the city of Niebüll , the municipality of Leck and the municipalities of the offices of Bökingharde , Süderlügum and Wiedingharde to form the office of Südtondern .
