Beltring Hundred

The Beltringharde (Danish: Beltring Herred ) was a medieval administrative district in what is now northern Friesland. The Harde covered the northern part of the island beach. In the Second Marcellus the Harde was flooded by the North Sea and lost several parishes.

End of the 16th century, the Harden Island beach were redistributed. The village Ockholm that was left over from the floods of the 14th century as holm was counted for Norder Goes Harde, the Wiriksharde with the islets Langeneß and Gröde went on in the Beltringharde. By 1600, belonged to the places Beltringharde Amhusen, Bupsee with the main church of the Harde, Buptee, Evensbüll, Königsbüll, Rorbeck, Easter and Wester Woldt and Volligsbüll and several holms. 1628 Amsinckkoog was recovered. In the flood of 1634, the Beltringharde that was directly exposed to the Heverstrom in the middle of the island was hit particularly hard. All eight parishes and several chapels were destroyed. A large part of the population perished, the survivors could not repair the dikes and therefore had to abandon the country. The few remaining buildings were demolished.

Today only the holm Nordstrandischmoor and the Hamburg Holm, the former Amsinckkoog, remnants of this Harde represent

The 1987 embanked polder between the North Frisian mainland and North beach has received in memory of this Harde the name Beltringharder polder, although the area is not congruent with the then Harde.
