About this picture

Sommerland is a municipality in the Steinburg district in Schleswig-Holstein . The localities of Brunsholt, Dückermühle, Greenland, Camerland and Siethwende are in the municipality.

Geography and traffic

Sommerland is located in the Elbmarsch about 9 km northwest of Elmshorn and 8 km east of Glückstadt . The federal highway 23 runs northeast from Elmshorn to Itzehoe . The march runs through the municipality , but without any passenger trains stopping.

history

The very fertile Elbmarsch was for a long time inaccessible and threatened by floods, but was managed from Horst , which is located higher up on a Geest island. Since the land could only be used in summer, the field name Sommerland was created. Some place names are also of Dutch origin, as the Dutch were involved in building the dike. A large part of the community area was for a long time the Schaumburg exclave in Holstein and was subject to Dutch law until 1470, and in some cases even until the middle of the 17th century.

The community has existed in its current form since 1888. After the Second World War, a camp for displaced people and bombed-out Hamburgers was set up in the municipality , in which up to 255 people lived.

Greenland

The street settlement of Greenland ( Gronlande ) was first mentioned in 1293 together with the parish of Schönmoor, which today belongs to Süderau . From the middle of the 17th century, Greenland together with the summer country ( Zomerlande ) first mentioned in 1312 formed an independent village. Both places were connected by the Marschmoorweg with the County of Pinneberg , to which they belonged.

Cameroon

Lesigfeld (1356) and Brunsholt (1357), which are also street settlements, used to belong to the Kamerland settlement, which was first mentioned in 1350. Camerland was an independent village until it merged with Greenland and Sommerland in 1888.

Turn

Siethwende is named after a supplementary ( sitwendige ) dike that was built around 1300 by the Dutch to protect against the water of the neighboring moor. The dike used as a path formed the border between the parish of Süderau and the Königsmoor.

The march train from Hamburg-Altona to Westerland runs through the area of ​​the municipality of Sommerland. In 1845 a train station was built in Siethwende .

After the Second World War , the district of Siethwende in particular took in many refugees. At times their number almost doubled that of the local population.
