history

The first written mention of Lunden dates back to 1140 by the Archbishop of Bremen . The place name probably comes from the Danish "Lunn" (island-like elevation) or "Lund" (little wood).

1450 to 1453 and 1484 the plague came to Lunden.

From 1516 to 1532 there was a Franciscan monastery in Lunden . It initially belonged to the Danish order province of Dacia and came to the Saxon Franciscan province of Saxonia in 1520 , until it was abolished as a result of the Reformation . The monastery buildings were demolished in 1539.

On February 27, 1529, Lunden was granted city rights by the Dithmarsch regional assembly . In 1559, after the peasant republic of Dithmarschen came to an end in the last feud , this right was lost again.

From 1806 to 1816 the well-known Lutheran theologian Claus Harms served as pastor of the place.

In 1885 Lunden had 1,586 inhabitants.

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

Culture and sights

The biggest attraction of the place is the St. Laurentius Church (built in the 12th century, expanded in 1471) with the family cemetery , where a funeral was last carried out in 1945. Some of the graves can be visited (the Sulemannen cellar and the Nannen cellar). One of the most important politicians of the Dithmarschen peasant republic , the forty-eight man Peter Swyn (1480? –1537), was also buried here. Next to the tombstone there is a stele on which his murder is depicted.

Legendary figure from Lunden: Karl Müllenhoff (1818–84), professor of German studies in Kiel since 1846, is a collector of the legends, fairy tales and songs of the duchies of Schleswig-Holstein and Lauenburg. In one of these legends you can find the figure of Klaus Nanne from Lunden. He later gave its name to Klaus-Nanne-Strasse in Hamburg.

Lunden has been a state-approved resort since 1975.

The old elementary school was first expanded as a kindergarten and later into a local museum; later it was expanded to become the “NaTour-Centrum”. Since 2001 exhibitions about the local landscape and the close connections between nature and the people living in this area have been shown there.

It is two kilometers from the town center to the Eider (Wollersum bathing area).
