history

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1435 as "Swesum". The place name is associated with the personal name Svese (see Svestad in Norway) or with the Svear who could have settled here. Schwesing has a church from the 13th century. The last supper cup of the Schwesingen church shows a boar and a brook on the underside, which may allow the name to be interpreted as "wild boar on the brook". The coat of arms can also be a later interpretation of the name.

According to legend, the search for the place to build the church was left to two young bulls. These were coupled to each other and let them pull. The church was built where the bulls camped at night. Bulls to find a building site corresponds to other church foundation sagas in Schleswig-Holstein .

After the annexation of Schleswig-Holstein by Prussia, a parish land municipality was formed from the area of ​​the Schwesing parish . In addition to Schwesing, it included the five villages of Ahrenviöl , Hochviöl , Immenstedt , Oster-Ohrstedt and Wester-Ohrstedt .

In the Reichstag election in March 1933 , 90.6% voted for the NSDAP , 5.5% for the DNVP , 2.0% for the SPD and 0.2% for the KPD, with a turnout of 94.6%.

On April 1, 1934, the parish land community was dissolved, and the village communities formed independent rural communities. Hochviöl was incorporated into Viöl in 1976.

The Husum-Schwesing concentration camp was set up in the Engelsburg district in autumn 1944 (as a branch of the Neuengamme concentration camp ). The concentration camp prisoners were supposed to build the " Friesenwall ", a defense system against an Allied landing. Today there is a memorial on the site of the concentration camp.
