Osewoldter Koog

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Osewoldter Koog ( North Frisian : Oosewulder Kuuch ) is a Koog in North Friesland that was diked in 1935 and settled in 1936. The Koog belongs to the municipality of Dagebüll as well as to the school district and the parish of the place.

history

The name is based on the parish of Osewoldt, which probably went under during the storm surge of 1320 , and which must have been located in almost the same place.

As part of a land reclamation program backed by the Nazi blood and soil was 1935 Osewoldter Koog diked (see also: Adolf Hitler Koog , Hermann Goering Koog ). The total diked area is 176  hectares , the new dike is 2.6 kilometers long and was built in 70,000 daily works . The required clay was taken from the Wadden Sea and transported to the construction site by field train as the only technical aid. All other work was done by hand. The newly created Koog was settled immediately after its completion in 1936. For this purpose, seven 17-19 hectare farms and nine workers' settlements, each of which had 1-5 hectares of land, were created.

Just like in the surrounding region, there is also a structural change in the Osewoldter Koog towards large farms and tourism. In 2007 only one full-time agricultural business and one part-time business were located in Koog.
