The Norderdithmarschen district was a district in the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein (1867–1932, 1933–1945) and then a district in the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein (1946–1970).
geography
location
The district was in the northwest of the Holstein region on the North Sea coast . The Eider formed the natural border in the northeast.
Neighboring areas
At the beginning of 1970 the district bordered clockwise in the north, beginning with the districts of Eiderstedt , Schleswig , Rendsburg and Süderdithmarschen . In the west it bordered the North Sea .
history
Norderdithmarschen as a territorial unit was created in 1559 after the last feud when the previously independent peasant republic of Dithmarschen was divided among the victors. Norderdithmarschen were assigned to the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf and in 1773 fell to the entire Danish state .
After Schleswig-Holstein fell to Prussia , the Norderdithmarschen, the Carolinenkoog, the Hedewigenkoog and the Friedrichsgabekoog were merged to form the Norderdithmarschen district in 1867 . The county seat was the town of Heide , which was also the seat of the local court. The only other town since 1899 was Wesselburen .
Norderdithmarschen was an early stronghold of National Socialism . An anti-republican and anti-modern mood led to the fact that the blood-and-soil ideology of the Nazis fell on fertile ground in Dithmarschen.

| 1933 | 68.6% | 53.2% | 43.9% |
On October 1, 1932, the district was temporarily merged with the Süderdithmarschen district to form the Dithmarschen district . On October 1, 1933, the two districts were separated again.
Large parts of the Norderdithmarschen district were divided into parish land parishes until 1934 . The parish land parishes were typical regional and historically grown administrative units. They were dissolved on April 1, 1934 and their individual villages were raised to independent rural communities. After a series of parish mergers in the course of the 1930s, the district comprised two cities and 71 rural parishes in 1945.
After further community mergers, there were two towns and 66 rural communities in the Norderdithmarschen district in early 1970. In the course of the Schleswig-Holstein administrative reform, the district was merged with the Süderdithmarschen district on April 26, 1970 to form today's Dithmarschen district, which again corresponds to the territory of the former peasant republic.
