About this picture

The district of Südtondern (Danish: Sydtønder Amt or Tønder Sønderamt ), part of the district of Tondern from 1867 to 1920 , was a district in Schleswig-Holstein .

From around 1580 to 1850, the area of ​​the Tondern district consisted of the Tondern Office and the Lügumkloster Office within the Duchy of Schleswig as well as the royal enclaves that belonged directly to the Kingdom of Denmark . In 1850 the Lügumkloster office was incorporated into the Tondern office.

After Denmark's loss in the German-Danish War in 1864, the duchy became part of the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein in 1867 , and the Tondern district was founded.

In an ecclesiastical context, the area was divided into the provosts of Nordtondern and Südtondern after 1878 (Danish: Tønder Nørreamt and Sønderamt ). The places Aventoft , Neukirchen and Rodenäs , which are south of the border today, belonged to Nordtondern.

After half of the district was ceded to Denmark in 1920, the Tondern district was renamed Südtondern district . The new district location was the Niebüll railway junction , which then grew, but only received city ​​rights in 1960 .

As a result of the district reform of 1970, most of the district of Südtondern was merged with the districts of Eiderstedt and Husum on April 26, 1970 to form the new district of North Friesland . The Nordfriesland district is the legal successor to the Südtondern district.

history

District of Tondern (1867–1920)

After the German-Danish War of 1864, Schleswig - and with it the office of Tondern  - was occupied by Prussia and Austria and finally annexed by Prussia in 1867.

The district of Tondern became “from the city of Tondern” in 1867; the spots of Hoyer and Lügumkloster; the office of Tondern with the enclaved noble estates and kings; the islands of Röm, Sylt, Föhr with Wyck and Amrum; the office of the Lügumkloster with the exception of the subordinate land offices enclaves in other administrative districts; the Loh-Harde with the birches Mögeltondern and Ballum ”. In 1878 the rural community of Schafflund was incorporated into the Flensburg district.

In education in the districts of 1889, the county from the county seat was Tonder and stains Hoyer , Lügumkloster and Wyk and the rural community castle and free basic Tonder , which belonged Tonder Local police district of the city, as well as 181 other municipalities and eleven agricultural estates, broken down as follows distributed over the 32 administrative districts:

* Assigned to Denmark in 1920

In 1920 the northern areas of the district were ceded to Denmark on the basis of the referendum in Schleswig provided for in the Peace Treaty of Versailles . Since in the northern 1st zone, which encompassed the whole of today's North Schleswig , voting as a whole, the future state border was practically determined before the vote on February 10, 1920. Communities close to the border with clear German majorities such as Tondern, Hoyer or Uberg and Tingleff came to Denmark, as did numerous communities with almost balanced results. South of this border, a community vote was held on March 14, 1920. There were Danish majorities only in the Föhrer rural communities Utersum, Hedehusum and Goting, which, like the surrounding area, remained with Germany. In June 1920, the town of Tondern with the Schloß- und Freigrund, the two spots Hoyer and Lügumkloster, the communities of the 16 districts marked above with an asterisk and the three communities Ruttebüll, Seth and Uberg, became part of the now smaller district of Neukirchen in Denmark , assigned. The ceded area had an area of ​​971 km² and 28,000 inhabitants.

District of South Tondern (1920–1970)

Since the district town was also ceded with Tondern, a new one had to be determined. The only cities at that time were Westerland (since 1900) and Wyk (since 1910), but each of them was located on an island and was therefore unsuitable as a district town. So the decision was made in favor of Niebüll, which at that time was still a simple rural community. Niebüll only became a town in 1960. In November 1920, the district was then renamed the Süd Tondern district .

On July 25, 1925, part of the rural community of Amrum became the new community of Norddorf . The remaining rural community of Amrum was renamed Nebel on April 1, 1926 . On March 21, 1927, part of the Norddörfer community became the new Kampen community . The remainder of the Norddörfer community was renamed Wenningstedt on July 1, 1927 .

When the estate districts were dissolved in 1927/28, they were incorporated into the surrounding communities, with the exception of the estate districts Boverstedt and Lütjenhorn , which became independent rural communities. In 1948 the districts were converted into offices . After Deezbüll was incorporated into Niebüll, this office was dissolved in 1950. Between 1948 and 1970 several new communities were formed in the district of Südtondern:

The municipality Dagebüllerkoog was in on July 1, 1959 Dagebüll renamed.

In 1966/67 the office structure was revised in the course of the district and office reform in Schleswig-Holstein. In 1966 the offices of Enge, Klixbüll, Leck and Medelby were dissolved and most of the municipalities formed the office of Süderkarrharde, which was renamed to Amt Karrharde after the municipalities of the office of Ladelund were incorporated in 1967. Leck became vacant and five more parishes were given other offices. In 1967 the offices of Böckingharde were formed from the offices of Dagebüll, Fahretoft and Lindholm and Wiedingharde from the offices of Emmelsbüll and Neukirchen.

On April 26, 1970, the district was dissolved. The communities of the former Medelby Office ( Böxlund , Holt , Jardelund , Medelby , Osterby and Weesby ) came to the Flensburg-Land district . The remaining communities together with the communities in the districts of Eiderstedt and Husum formed the district of North Friesland.

The continental part of the former district Südtondern without the former Office Medelby forms which since 1 January 2008 Südtondern .
