The Eiderstedt district was from 1867 to 1970 a district in the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein or the state of Schleswig-Holstein .
After the German-Danish War in 1864, Schleswig-Holstein became a Prussian province in 1867 . One urban district and 19 rural districts , including the district of Eiderstedt, were formed.
Through the district reform of 1970, the district of Eiderstedt was combined with the districts of Husum and Südtondern to form the new district of North Friesland with the seat of the district administration in Husum. The Nordfriesland district is the legal successor to the Eiderstedt district.
geography
location
The district included the Eiderstedt peninsula on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein.
Neighboring areas
Beginning in 1970, the district bordered in a clockwise direction in the northeast on the districts of Husum , Schleswig and Norderdithmarschen . In the south, west and north it bordered the North Sea .
history
The district was formed in 1867 “from the Eiderstedt landscape with the towns of Tönning and Garding; the noble estate Hoyersworth and the Grothusen, Alten-Augusten-, Neuen-Augusten-, Süder-Friedrichs- and Norder-Friedrichs-Köögen ”. This area essentially comprised the Eiderstedt peninsula .
Although the circle was actually too small by Prussian standards, the Prussian administration gave the Eiderstedtern their independence. The own North Frisian landscape law of the former "Eiderstedt landscape" was formally retained until the introduction of the Civil Code in 1900. Also, no small communities were formed, as in other districts, but the parish and Koogs communities were retained.
In 1905 the district had an area of 332.25 km² and 15,760 inhabitants. When the administrative districts were formed in 1889, the district consisted of the district town of Tönning and the town of Garding , as well as 21 rural communities (18 parish and three Koogsgemeinden) and two manor districts, which were distributed among the administrative districts as follows:

The manor districts were dissolved in 1927/28 and the associated areas were incorporated into the surrounding communities.
To save costs, the Prussian government merged the district in 1932 with the neighboring Husum district to form the Husum-Eiderstedt district. This measure - just like the merging of the Norder- and Süderdithmarschens - was reversed the following year.
In 1936, part of the municipality of Tating became the municipality of Hermann-Göring-Koog , which was renamed Tümlauer-Koog in 1945 .
After the dissolution of the administrative districts, offices were formed in 1948, while the structures were essentially retained, but the Katharinenheerd municipality came to the Tetenbüll office and the Norderfriedrichskoog to the Oldenswort office. In 1962, the parishes of Garding and Osterhever formed the parish of Garding / Osterhever , which in turn was dissolved in 1969. Together with the offices of Tating and Tetenbüll, the office of Eiderstedt-West was formed. Immediately before the district was dissolved, the Oldenswort office was also dissolved and the municipalities came to the Eiderstedt-West office, which was renamed the Eiderstedt office . The Sankt Peter office was dissolved in 1967 after the parishes of Sankt Peter and Ording merged to form the parish of Sankt Peter-Ording . In addition to the towns of Garding and Tönning and the municipalities of Koldenbüttel and Sankt Peter-Ording, which are free of charge, there were also three offices in Eiderstedt, Parish Tönning and Witzwort when the district was released.
On April 26, 1970, in the course of the Schleswig-Holstein district reform, the district was dissolved and incorporated into the new district of North Friesland. The Witzwort office was also dissolved and the two communities came to the newly formed Friedrichstadt office with the non-office Koldenbüttel . The parish of Tönning was dissolved at the end of 1973. The seat of the district court was Friedrichsstadt. The courthouse now serves as a café.
The last district president acted from 1966 until the dissolution of Hans-Alwin Ketels (CDU).
