Once a giant came north from Dithmarschen over the Eider because he was supposed to help with the construction of the church in Ripen . When he was walking through the sand of the Goesharde , his wooden shoes were full of sand. So he sat down north of the Soholmer Au and poured out the sand. The two highest heights of the Langenberg arose from this: Ranselsberg and Werkshug.
