history

The earliest traces of Eddelak settlement go back to the Roman Empire . In 1877, a Germanic flat settlement layer about 6 hectares in size was archaeologically established to the southwest of the village . Numerous ceramic finds (shards and urns) temporarily led to the assumption that the settlement was used for ceramics production or salt boiling, furthermore the settlement area was discussed in the context of the formation of the Saxons with the involvement of the Chauken in the research.

The history of Eddelak is divided into the history of the Eddelak parish and the history of the modern Eddelak parish.

In the Eddelak settlement area, agriculture was so successful in 1140 that the cathedral chapter of Hamburg was awarded the tithe by Ethelekeswisch on this basis. Around 1200 the parish of Eddelak emerged from the settlement area , which first appeared in writing in 1281 through a contract with Hamburg . The parish of Eddelak (seal inscription: Eddelake) and the land of Dithmarschen assured the Frühhanse nationwide protection of merchants, their vehicles and their goods and also promised, although as few neighbors of the Elbe as most of the twelve other Dithmarsch parishes involved, traditional beach robbery to abolish.

The parish of Eddelak originally consisted of the five farmers Averlak, Behmhusen, Dingen, Warfen and Westerbüttel, since 1811 by splitting off Blangenmoor-Lehe from Averlak from now six farmers with a common church in Eddelak (which is divided in half between Warfen and Behmhusen).

With the ordinance of September 22, 1867, the independent rural communities were introduced in the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein . In contrast to the rest of the province, there was a special form of municipal administration in the west of Schleswig-Holstein, namely in Dithmarschen and in the Husum district. This was taken over untouched. The parish areas in which secular structures already existed became political parishes, the parish land parishes.

The village communities and village communities existing in the parish rural communities as "sub-units" became independent municipalities / rural communities on April 1, 1934. On that day, the parish of Eddelak was also dissolved. The communities of Averlak , Behmhusen, Blangenmoor-Lehe, Dingen , Warfen and Westerbüttel were newly formed in their place .

The community Eddelak was created on June 1, 1953 by renaming the community Warfen. The municipality of Behmhusen gave up its municipality independence on January 1, 1966 by joining the municipality of Eddelak.

The communities of Averlak and Dingen remained independent. The municipality of Westerbüttel joined the city of Brunsbüttel on January 1, 1970 . The municipality of Blangenmoor-Lehe was added on January 1, 1972.

Buildings

The baroque brick church St. Marien (Eddelak) was built in 1740 by the builder Johann Georg Schott over the foundations of the predecessor. It is designed as a simple hall with high, arched windows over a rectangular floor plan. The interior is closed off by a wooden hollow vault under a gable roof that is hipped to the east. In the north and south, a front rectangular porch protect the side entrances. Directly in front of the west gable stands the wooden bell tower, which was renewed in 1676, on its own foundation.

The bell tower and church are the oldest buildings in the former parish of Eddelak.

In Eddelak there is still the Zwickstelldolland God with us from 1865, who was the model for the coat of arms. The mill was partly built from the remains of an older mill, which Christian Harms, the brother of the theologian Claus Harms , moved from Meldorf to Eddelak in 1802 and had a stamping mill converted into a grain mill. In 1976 a storm damaged the mill, whereupon miller Albert Haalck stopped the mill. The mill, which was listed as a historic monument in 1986 and renovated for the first time in 1990, is theoretically still fully functional today, but only turns, but no longer grinds. Today they are looked after by the local mill association, and civil weddings can also be held here. The Sankt Michaelisdonn registry office counts around 25 to 30 such weddings annually.

Economy and Infrastructure

education

At the end of the 1960s, a village community school was built in Eddelak. The communities of Averlak , Dingen and Eddelak jointly financed the project. The building was not built on a green meadow, but on a shifting dune. Construction sites were designated around the school, single-family houses were built and a kindergarten followed.

traffic

The Eddelak station on the Marschbahn , opened in 1878 by the Glückstadt-Elmshorner Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , was closed for passenger traffic between Brunsbüttel-Nord and St. Michaelisdonn on May 27, 1988. The industrial company Sasol takes care of daily goods traffic between Hemmingstedt and Brunsbüttel through Eddelak. The bus routes 2507, 2508 and 2509 (Dithmarschenbus / Autokraft ) connect Bahnhofstrasse in Eddelak with Brunsbüttel , Burg , Meldorf and Marne almost exclusively in school traffic .
