history

The ridge of the state of Schleswig-Holstein, which separates the Eider from the sturgeon, runs through the Feldmark. In the south the water has drainage to Christinenthal and further to the Stör. In the north it runs through the Osterstedter and Ostermühlener Feldmark to the Eider. The Reher Feldmark is bordered in the south by the Christinenthaler and Peißener, in the east by the Jahrsdorfer and Wapelfelder, in the north by the Osterstedter and in the west by the Pulser Feldmark. The Feldmark covers an area of ​​approx. 1530 hectares. It extends in north-south direction about 5.60 km and in east-west direction about 4.40 km.

The origin of the name Reher has not been fully clarified. For example, Franz Michaelsen traces the name Reher back to heron in his work, place and field names of the Steinburg district . Wolfgang Laur finds a different interpretation . In his article Die Ortsnames in Schleswig-Holstein , published in Volume VI of the Gottorfer Schriften 1960, it says u. a .: "Reher may be formed with an r-suffix (suffix) - 1756 Reder - (intervowel d has become h), perhaps belonging to Reet, Ried like Rheide". The author also traces the family names Reher, Reherbrook, Rehrknöll or Rehder in Westphalia to Reet or Ried. In any case, it is a name for an old settlement in terms of settlement history. Laur goes on to explain that all of the places identified as old by old place names and prehistoric finds from older periods have large, rounded areas, such as B. Looft, Drage or Reher.

Even the latest research results in the historical place name dictionary of Schleswig-Holstein from 1967 by Wolfgang Laur do not provide any final clarification. Here it says: “Reher 1576 Reder, 1592 to Reher - Reder, Reher is common in Low German place names, also in Westphalia, where we have encountered forms such as R (h) edere since the 13th century. The meaning and etymological origin is still uncertain. Possibly it is an education with an r-suffix to Germanic raipo, perhaps in the sense of "Weg, Wegstelle", compare new English road, old English rad-Straße. The form Reher shows the failure of the intervowel d. "

In Hanerau-Hademarschen , 12 km to the north-west, there is a larger piece of forest called Rehers, written in a church document from around 1700 as "Gehege Rehas ".

coat of arms

Blazon : “Divided by gold and red in a ratio of 2: 3. Above each other three black-rooted green juniper bushes, below a golden trotting horse. "

The dominant figure of Reher's municipal coat of arms , the horse , is shown in rapid motion to give the viewer of the coat of arms the impression of trotting. Reher is known today because a considerable number of trotting horses have been bred here for a long time. The juniper bushes in the coat of arms are representative of the Reher Kratt nature reserve , in which rare plants and woody species are cared for.
