history

Sieverstedt is still a very young community in its current form. It was re-established in 1971. Its population has grown from around 1,300 at that time to around 1,600 today. It is identical in area to the parish of the same name.

In contrast to the still young community, the places and formerly independent communities are settlement centers that have grown organically and historically over centuries, the names of which can be traced far back in a modified form.

middle Ages

The village of Stenderup was called Stenthorp around 1196, which can probably be interpreted as Steindorf. In the year 1100 the St. Petri Church was built in Romanesque architectural style from field stone. Stendorp was also the name of the parish until the Reformation . In 1440 and 1463 it is then called Stendorp, in 1511 Stendorpp and 1630 Stendorff and means Steindorf. In England there is a Stainthorp, a place that points to the relationship with the emigration of the Angles from their original home in 449.

After "Jensen's fishing", the place names ending in -stedt are to be regarded as the oldest. It is believed that they got their name from the first settler, in the case of Sieverstedt from someone named Sievert. The place name kept changing its spelling. In 1472 it is handed down as Suuetstedt, 1483 as Sunerstede, 1511 as Suderstede and 1670 as Suverstede. It can also be assumed that the villages of Sieverstedt and Stenderup were called "Suderkaspel" (ie Suderkirchspiel) by the Süderschmedebyern in earlier years and the name was derived from this.

Süderschmedeby, in contrast to Norderschmedeby in the construction north of the border, which is only called Smedeby, is called Smedebu around 1342. In 1472 it is called Smedeby, 1538 Smeby and 1681 Schmedebui. Names ending in -by are likely from the late Iron Age or Viking Age and are of Danish or Swedish origin. The name is to be interpreted as the blacksmith's village. Here, lawn iron ore was found in the field marrow and poured and forged in special furnaces (finds are in the village museum in Süderschmedeby). Poppholz is also mentioned more often in old archives. Legend has it that Bishop Poppo baptized the Danish King Harald Blauzahn in nearby Helligbek (holy brook, in front of that Jütenbach). In 1472 it was called Poppenholt, 1499 Popholte and 1648 Popholdt. Jalm was called Hellym in 1519, Helm in 1543 and Jallum in 1667.

In this way, other districts and extensions can be interpreted, such as Thorwald or Krittenburg. 180 proven prehistoric and early historical burial mounds , of which only a few are recognizable as such today, have been identified and registered. Many valuable finds come from these burial mounds, including some that are extremely rare in all of northern Germany and Scandinavia . They are exhibited in the museums in Schleswig and Flensburg , in Copenhagen and Kiel . Axes and stone hatchets can be found and found from the earlier Stone Age, which point to an even earlier settlement. Urn cemeteries from around 1000 BC Have been established. 500 years later they learned to smelt and forge lawn iron ore , which ushered in the end of the Bronze Age .

Just like today, the municipality was already in a "traffic triangle", to which the early and very numerous settlement can be traced, namely the eastern Heerweg or Ochsenweg , the Stapelholmer Weg and the Angelboweg . In contrast to the streets of today, the paths avoided ridges or lowlands and crossed streams and rivers where they found shallow water.

Whether these villages were also affected in the Battle of Eggebek on August 12, 1410 is nowhere recorded, but a large army was there in 1522. King Christian II had convened the state parliament in Stenderupau and it came, as if to a battle with many soldiers.

Modern times

In the Thirty Years' War it was the troops of Tilly and Wallenstein who marched through the villages, robbing and plundering. The people had to flee into the woods to save their bare life; Houses and courtyards were "desert", they were burned down and no longer habitable. In 1848 and 1864, soldiers from Schleswig-Holstein , Denmark , Prussia and Austria took up quarters in the villages . The graves still bear witness to the fighting in the community. In Poppholz Westerhöh is the grave of the Danish second lieutenant Wilhelm Carl Joseph von Nordberg, who fell here on June 24, 1850 (at the battle of Idstedt ). In Süderschmedeby, right next to the road, is the grave of the Austrian corporal Joseph Ecielsky, who fell at this point on February 6, 1864, before the battle of Oeversee .

Incorporations

On April 1, 1971, the previously independent communities of Stenderup near Havetoft and Süderschmedeby were incorporated into the new community of Sieverstedt.

politics

coat of arms

Blazon : “Divided by blue and green lowered by a narrow golden wavy bar. Above is a golden stone grave made of three supporting stones and a ceiling stone, topped with a red miter. In the upper corners on the right by a small golden anvil, on the left by a small golden key. "

The coat of arms of the municipality of Sieverstedt combines various historical symbols from the history of the Sieverstedt settlements. The anvil points to Süderschmedeby's forging tradition and the key to the old historic church of Sieverstedt. The central element of the coat of arms is the stylized Poppostein with a bishop's cap in the middle, which refers to the legend of the so-called Poppostein . The wavy line in the lower area is intended to symbolize the Bollingstedter Au, which flows through the community. The color of the coat of arms indicates that it belongs to the Duchy of Schleswig.

Museums

Folklore objects are on display in the Süderschmedeby Iron Age Collection. The main focus of this collection is documenting the prehistoric iron extraction and processing from lawn iron ore. An old iron smelting plant has been reconstructed. Unfortunately the museum was closed.

St. Peter's Church

In the 12th century, around 1050–1200, the St. Petri Church was built on a hill at the intersection of two main routes. The church may be the successor to a wooden church that probably stood on Grönshoy (Danish for green hill ).

Originally the church consisted of only one nave and a choir with female (north) and male (south) entrances. The vestibule (used as an armory and morgue) was added later. In the nave on the north and south sides there were originally two small high-lying windows, which were later enlarged on the south side. There was a small window in each direction in the choir. The roof is a flat beam ceiling.

In the middle of the 14th century, the nave and choir were equipped with vaults and the roof was covered with wooden shingles. The windows on the west and north walls were walled up, and two new, large windows were installed in the south wall. The arches on the west wall of the nave end at the level of the choir arch (presumably side altars). In the south-east corner of the choir, the arches connect to a fireplace (an unusual luxury in the Middle Ages). The late Gothic painting, mainly tendrils, was repeatedly whitewashed until it was rediscovered and restored in 1906. In the taste of the time, it was painted over in bold colors by decorative painter Both in 1913. During the major renovation in 1961, the overpainting was removed and the original painting was preserved using modern methods. Remains of even older painting have been discovered underneath, which are no longer so easy to interpret. The pulpit from around 1670 is a Renaissance work. The three fields represent the birth (Isaiah 9,5), crucifixion (Isaiah 53,4) and resurrection (Joh. 11,25) of Jesus. The sound cover is divided into six and has the motif of the holy spirit dove hanging in the middle. A crucifix from the 15th century hangs over the choir arch. In 1835 the first organ was installed in the church. It was of poor quality and was replaced by a new Sauer organ on December 7, 1902 . In 1967 a used Kemper organ, built in 1962, was acquired, which is still in service today. Approx. From 1864–1885 the first church heating in the form of two "Copenhagen stoves" was installed during Pastor Matzen's tenure. On February 4, 1906, after a defect in the heating, the old painting reappeared. On August 30, 1914, the new stalls, which were needed due to the new heating, were inaugurated. In 1859 the gable roof of the bell house was replaced by an octagonal helmet. This gave the bell house more "tower character". The church has been supplied with electricity since 1953, so the bells can now be rung electrically.

In 1961 a major church renovation took place, during which the overpaintings were removed and the original paintings could be preserved. Since then, the church has been better ventilated, the chancel has been redesigned:

• High altar gone - floor paved raised,
• small windows on the north and east sides opened again,
• new altar with natural stone plate and brass cross,
• the donated colored window inserted and
• found the chimney.

The pulpit was moved and the north gallery shortened. The baptismal font that was previously in the vestibule was brought into the church. In 1966 the morgue was built and in 1981 the daycare center was inaugurated. The last renovation of the church took place in 1992; New climate compensation, painting newly preserved, new heating, new lamps.

Equipment of the St. Petri Church

The oldest piece is the baptismal font, which is probably older than the church. The crucifix and the choir arch are from the end of the 15th century, the pulpit from 1620. The anne block is from 1681, the stalls are from 1914. There are twelve fields on the gallery, nine of which have painted motifs. In the fields on the right you can see the four apostles, symbolized by the eagle (John), ox (Luke), lions (Mark), people with wings (Matthew). Gray sandstone tombstones from the 18th century hang in the vestibule.
