history

Pommerby was first mentioned in 1409 and as a Meierhof belonged to Gut Rundhof ( Grumtoft ). Ecclesiastically it belonged to the parish of Gelting . The districts Gammeldamm and Niedamm belonged to Gut Düttebüll ( Dyttebøl ), Börsby to Gut Buckhagen ( Bukhavn ). The estates formed their own lower court districts until 1853, then the Kappelerharde took over this function, and in 1867 finally the new district court in Kappeln . Since the introduction of the Prussian rural community order in 1867, Pommerby formed an independent rural community . While most of the neighboring parishes have since merged into larger units, the boundaries of the small parish of Pommerby have remained unchanged to this day.
