Location of the municipality of Kotzenbüll in the district of North Friesland

Kotzenbüll ( Danish Kotzenbøl , also Kotsenbøl , North Frisian Kotzenbel ) is a municipality in the district of North Friesland in Schleswig-Holstein . Axendorf, Dorf, Kleihörn and Schwarzhof are in the municipality.

Geography and traffic

Kotzenbüll is located northwest of Tönning directly on the federal highway 202 from Kiel to Sankt Peter-Ording .

history

The place name probably means settlement of the Kotzos . The place name is mentioned for the first time in 1438, but the place is older. The first chapel already existed around 1300. Today's Nikolaikirche was completed in 1495 and testifies to the great wealth of the inhabitants of that time.

Due to the siege of the nearby Tönning fortress in 1713, the community suffered great losses. Most of the houses were burned down, including the former Stallerhof . Until then, the then prosperous parish had even been able to finance two clergymen, a pastor and a deacon . Since then the population has been falling, from 303 to 275 between 1795 and 1835 alone. Of the 13 hooded barges around 1800, only the Mars Skipper Hof is left today.
