history

The place on Ochsenweg was first mentioned in 1177. The name Lügum means "on the waters" and refers to the port that the place owned in the Middle Ages. (cf. old Danish løgh ≈ washing water meaning lake, water accumulation ). In the southern Jutland dialect, the place name became Lym through the narrowing of / ø / to / y / before / g / and the omission of the intervowel gh . The addition "Süder" served to distinguish between the places Norderlügum and Osterlügum, which are also in the Duchy of Schleswig and now north of the border . The field name Horsberg (derived from Old Norse hross or hors for horse) probably refers to earlier pastures for horses, the expression was also used in southern Jutland for insignificant elevations in the landscape.

Süderlügum formed the center of the parish of the same name within the Karrharde . After the German-Danish War in 1864, the place became part of Prussia. From 1889 to 2007, Süderlügum was the administrative seat of the administrative district or office of the same name . Since January 1, 2008, it has belonged to the South Tondern office with the city of Niebüll , the municipality of Leck and the municipalities of the offices of Bökingharde , Karrharde and Wiedingharde .

On February 28, 1970 Wimmersbüll was incorporated.

coat of arms

Blazon : "Above blue-silver waves in green under a raised, inclined silver bar, eight golden dunes, forming the shape of an eight-mountain, gently rising at the front and steeply sloping at the rear."

Until 2007 the municipality had no coat of arms. With the dissolution of the office in Süderlügum, the municipality decided to continue to use its coat of arms with only minor changes.

Economy and Infrastructure

Companies

The economic structure of Süderlügum has always been characterized by agriculture. There are now many retail businesses in the village that benefit from border trade with Denmark.

One of the origins of today's VR Bank Nord is rooted in the local agricultural trade. This formed a complementary core area of ​​the predecessor institute, most recently VR-Bank Niebüll, into the 21st century . A comparable connection had been handed over to the main cooperative north by other cooperative banks much earlier .

Attractions

The list of cultural monuments in Süderlügum includes the cultural monuments entered in the list of monuments of Schleswig-Holstein.

The Marien-Kirche was built around 1200 on a sand hill from the Ice Age as a branch church of Humptrup . At first it was a mere cemetery chapel in Romanesque style, with no extensions to the east or west. Around 1500 the Marienkirche was extended to its current length and the Romanesque beam ceiling was replaced by Gothic vaults. During this time, the vaults were painted for the first time. In the years 1929/1930 the church was completely restored. In the process, the ceiling frescoes described, which had previously been whitewashed, were exposed again. The baptismal font, which is carved out of two granite blocks, still reminds of the founding days of the Marienkirche. In the church there are seven portraits from the Claudius family of pastors, whose most famous son was the poet Matthias Claudius . Since 2015 the church has a new Marcussen organ .
