history

Farm in Osterby

Osterby was first mentioned on October 7, 1528 under the name Osterbuj. The place was a Jutish settlement ( Danish : by for village, settlement ) on the eastern edge of a large forest between the Eider and Schlei . In the Middle Ages, the forests and moors between the Eider and the Schlei formed a natural border between the Danes and Saxons. Around 1550 the Jutes mixed with the Saxons advancing from the south . The inhabitants of Osterby wrestled their lands from the forest and the moor very early on by reclamation. Old hall names such as Holzkoppel, Haselhorst, Moorwiese and Wolfsbrook say this.

During the 1st German-Danish War in 1848 the village was fought over. This is reminiscent of a memorial stone with the inscription " Up forever ungedeelt ", which was inaugurated in 1898 for the 50th anniversary. Until 1950 Osterby was a purely farming village with handicraft businesses and merchants important for the residents. In the past 25 years, the place has grown through a few new development areas and serves primarily as a popular residential area for commuters to the nearby Eckernförde .
