Tálga carve) or as a tapering (grave) mound , going back to old Danish. * Tholghøghe , made up of stick, Pflok (old north. Þollr , Danish told ) and hill (old Danish Høgh ).

St. Marien Church, south side (2018)

Tolk Church was built in the last quarter of the 12th century. Since some of the built stones are marked with pre-Christian signs, it can be assumed that they are located in an old cult site.

In the middle of the 16th century, the Tolkschuby estate was created from individual farms and was divided into the three farms of Alt-Tolkschuby, New Tolkschuby and Katharinenhof as early as 1786.

Until December 31, 2006, Tolk was the administrative seat of the office of the same name .
