history

Jagel lies on an extensive sand area . Peat was extracted in the surrounding moors . The place is located near the Kograben (Danish Kovirke ) of the Danish border wall Danewerk .

Bronze Age traces can be found in the northwestern Tveebargen .

The place was first mentioned in 1180 in the chronicle of Helmold von Bosau as Thievela . In 1323, on the occasion of a donation to the St. Johannis monastery outside Schleswig, the name form Dyauele , later Dyagel and 1575/76 Jagelle . According to one interpretation, the place name is made up of the Old Saxon thiof for thief and - lôh for forest ( e.g. thief woods ). According to another interpretation, the name comes from Old Norse and is made up of Þy for maid and -vaðill for a ford ( e.g. ford of the maid ). In both interpretations, the name Jagel is an example of how far a place name can deviate from its appellative basis through phonetic changes in the lexical elements.
