Langeneß [ laŋəˈnɛs ] ( Danish Langenæs , North Frisian Nees ) is a municipality in the district of North Friesland in Schleswig-Holstein .

In addition to the Hallig Langeneß , the municipality also includes the Hallig Oland .

Geography and history

Before the Burchardi flood of 1634, the Hallig Langeness, Oland and other land masses formed the Hallig Alt-Langeness.

In 1802, today's Langeneß still consisted of three individual Halligen: Langeneß (east), Butwehl (southeast) and Nordmarsch (west), which grew together up to 1869 through dam construction, lahnungen and natural growth. The original name of the island that has grown together was Nordmarsch-Langeness.

Butwehl may in Waldemars Erdbuch mentioned island Hwäler.

Langeneß became smaller over the centuries. Before the flood of 1825, 70 houses and 187 inhabitants were counted. In 1850 there were 50 houses on 14 terps, and 30 houses in 1905/06. In 1873 the Hallig was 1179 hectares in size. After the survey of 1882 it was only 1025 ha. Today, Langeneß is the largest of the Halligen with a length of about 10 km, a width of up to 1400 m and a total size of 956 ha. The Hallig Oland is about 2.9 km long and up to 980 m wide.

In 1941, the previously independent communities of Nordmarsch (formerly Hallig Nordmarsch), Langeneß (former Halligen Langeneß and Butwehl) and Oland were merged to form a municipality of Langeneß. The administration is located on Pellworm , as the municipality of Langeneß belongs to the Pellworm office and does not have its own administration.

The municipality of Langeneß has 118 inhabitants, 100 of them on Langeneß, who live on 17  terps in 58 households, which are shown in the following table from east to west. The information relates to the last census of May 25, 1987, as population and households are not updated at the residential place level.
