history

Storage basin and Schülperneuensiel pumping station

Greenhouse for flowers in Schülp

The oldest dike in the region can also be found in Schülperaltensiel. At its core it has existed since the early 12th century, but today it no longer has any practical function for coastal protection . The dike was part of the Dithmarschers' first dyke construction . The dykes made agriculture possible on a larger scale for the first time. Before, it was limited to narrow areas around the older Wurten because of the danger of floods and storm surges .

Until 1609 the Schülper Wurt was part of the sea ​​dike leading to the Eider . An Eiderhafen was built in Schülperaltensiel, and after further dikes in the direction of the Eider, Schülperneuensiel was later moved around 1600. Mainly grain was loaded there, but now it only serves as a small sailing port.

On April 1, 1934, the parish land community Wesselburen was dissolved. All of their village communities, village communities and farmers became independent communities / rural communities, including Schülp.

In 1964, a pumping station was built on the sea dike in Neuensiel that drains 7250 hectares of the communities around Schülp into the Eider. When the water level is normal, this works as a sewer, the pumping mechanism is only switched on when the water levels in the Eider are high, and the pumps can move up to 11,400 liters per second into the river.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Quartered. 1 in green over a silver wavy thread a silver begonia, 2 in silver over a green wavy thread a green thatched roof house with a silver front wall on a green arched beam that is flattened at the top and straight out at the sides, 3 in silver a green cabbage, 4 in green three fan-shaped silver ones Ears of corn. "

Flower village Schülp

The community became known for its numerous market gardens and, in particular, for the begonia cultivation , so that Schülp still calls itself the "flower village" today. The first begonias came to the village in 1886, brought from Kiel by the freshly trained gardener Hans Diener. His descendants still run one of the largest begonia farms in the world.

As in all of Dithmarschen, the students began to discover in 1900 that the area was well suited to growing cabbage , so that the local economy was now based on flowers and vegetables. At times, farms also grew large numbers of may flowers, gladioli, gloxinias, tulips and daffodils there.

Until the 1970s, the village elected a tulip queen every year . The Schülper gardening business did not survive the switch to tulip planting machines. The factories were too small in the increasing international trade, the furrows that the jigging machines made ensured that the tulips in the North Sea climate often stood in the water for days and their bulbs rot.

However, while there were a dozen nurseries in Schülp in the decades after the Second World War, in 2007 there are only six of which only the Diener nursery also grows begonias.
