history

With a newspaper appeal from Otto Mensing and his co-initiators in Schleswig-Holstein newspapers in 1902, in which the population of the state was asked to collect source material about Low German in Schleswig-Holstein and send it to the initiators, the preparatory work for the creation of the Schleswig-Holstein dictionary began . Mensing placed particular emphasis on working out the linguistic characteristics in the individual regions of the country; At that time he was head of the so-called Low German Society at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel , where he was appointed professor in 1917, but only released from teaching in 1928 for his extensive research into the Low German language.

As early as 1906, a first book with the title Schleswig-Holstein Dictionary was published by C. Donath, but it only contained instructions on collecting. Between 1925 and 1935, the Wachholtz-Verlag published the comprehensive popular edition of the Schleswig-Holstein dictionary in five volumes. Mensing's employees included a. also Gustav Friedrich Meyer and Peter Willers Jessen (local researcher) . In 1973 and 1985 the same publisher gave unchanged reprints.
