Foreland of the dike in the municipal area

geography

The Koog was created by dike in 1862. The community was created in 1934 from a part of the parish land community Wesselburen and had 313 inhabitants at that time. Wesselburenerkoog is located directly at the mouth of the Eider in the North Sea and forms the southern access to the Eider Barrage . One of the diked areas was the Hundeknöll foreland, which later became the official end point of the barrier when the Eider Barrage was built.

history

The landscape served as a foreland - not protected from the North Sea. The farmers from Wesselburen and Norddeich let their sheep and other livestock graze on the area crossed by priels . In 1819, the farmers of Norddeich built a ring dike at the highest point, the place of the highest spring , in which there was a cattle trough . The dike, the remains of which can still be seen today, had a diameter of 200 meters. With a height of 5.80 m, it was slightly lower than regular sea dikes at the time. The ring dike trough ensured both the fresh water supply for the cattle and also protected them from storm surges into autumn. About 1000 sheep and cattle could be housed on the two hectare property.

On April 1, 1934, the parish land community Wesselburen was dissolved. All of their village communities, village communities and farmers became independent communities / rural communities, including Wesselburenerkoog.

With the construction of the Eider Barrage in the 1970s, the area of ​​the municipality, which was created as Koog through land reclamation, grew again. The municipality has its own bathing area on the North Sea , a campsite and, since 2003, a holiday home area in the Scandinavian style. Part of the protected Dithmarscher Eiderwatt also belong to the municipality.

politics

Since the local elections in 2013, the WGW voter community has all seven seats in the local council.
