history

Krempel was first mentioned in a document in 1231. It is unclear whether it was the Celts who founded Cremböl, from which today's Krempel arose. While Lunden experienced a glorious time with flourishing trade, Krempel developed into an agricultural village in the shadow of the neighboring community. Even in historical times, most farmers were dependent on a sideline in the marshes or in the moor to secure their livelihood. Today the community has changed from a sand dune to a modern residential community.

On April 1, 1934, the parish Lunden was dissolved. All of their villages, village communities and peasant communities became independent communities / rural communities, including Krempel.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Split between gold and green. In front a half, red armed black eagle at the crack, behind a rooted silver pine. "

In contrast to the unrestrained Nordic heraldic lion of the Danish, Schleswig and Holstein rulers, who had often threatened the freedom of Dithmarschens , the eagle is supposed to evoke the parish's vigilance and defensiveness . The half imperial eagle is also intended to visually demonstrate that, similar to the free imperial cities, one only feels subordinate and belonging to the German Empire and its emperors , and not to any princes. The gnarled pine symbolizes the struggle of the inhabitants to assert themselves on the barren dune (recently extensive plantings of coniferous forest in the municipality of Krempel) and to make the landscape (once lake and sea) arable and fertile in both the west and east.
