Geography and traffic

Rott, district of Ostenfeld

Ostenfeld is about twelve kilometers east of Husum and borders the Schleswig-Flensburg district in the east .

history

The place name Ostenfeld (Østerfjolde) is first documented in writing in 1352. He probably describes the location of the place as east of Viöl ( * østen æ Fjolj ), whereby Fjolj / Fjolde (Viöl) can refer not only to the place, but also to the region. The ending -feld shows an early German reinterpretation of the basic word, unlike in today's German place name Viöl. Fjolde itself means something like outer market, uncultivated area . In some cases, with reference to the dialectic Jutland form of Ostenfeld (Mdän. Øssenfjylj or Østenfjolj ), a connection to oxen ( Yssen ) was established.

The place name Rott (Rød) was first documented in 1438. It could be a takeover of the Danish form for clearing (old Danish * Ruth or * Roth , Mdän. * Roj ) into Low German with the corresponding final hardening, but which also occurs in purely Low German place names.

The place name Schmöl (Smøl) is first documented at the end of the 18th century. It is also spread several times north of the border and probably denotes slash and burn. A derivation from old north is also possible . smár- (≈small, low) and -bøl (≈siedlung) for small settlement .

Drellborg (in German also Drellburg ) was first documented in 1570 and means slave castle to old north. þræll and old Danish. thræll for unfree, slave, servant . Similar names can be mentioned in the entire Scandinavian region (see þrælaborg near Oslo or Trelleborg in Skåne ). In present-day Denmark the name can be found around thirty times. A metaphorical name of thrræl (l) for a curved beam or pillar was also adopted. The place name is therefore probably associated with an earlier castle, which, however, has not yet been proven with certainty.

Until the German-Danish War in 1864, the place was the center of the Ostenfeld parish within the Südergoesharde in the Duchy of Schleswig, which belongs to Denmark . After the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein were annexed by Prussia , a parish land municipality was formed from the area of ​​the Ostenfeld parish . It comprised the three villages of Ostenfeld, Winnert and Wittbek . After the estate districts were dissolved, part of the Gottorf forest estate district was incorporated into the village of Ostenfeld. On April 1, 1934, the parish rural communities were dissolved, and the village communities have since formed independent rural communities, including the main town of Ostenfeld. On November 1, 1970, the community of Ostenfeld (Husum district) was officially renamed Ostenfeld (Husum) .

In Prussian times, the original survey for the land tax cadastre was carried out in all of Schleswig-Holstein, which was based on the Prussian polygon network from the years 1873 to 1875, in which new polygons were added to the existing points. For the survey points and the marketed border points in western Schleswig-Holstein, right-angled Soldner coordinates have been calculated to the zero point Ostenfeld (St. Petri church tower).
