Horsbull

Horsbull, today is the smaller of the two places, was first mentioned in 1231 Waldemar - Erdbuch as the center of the then Horsbüllharde. The church dates from this time. Storm surges forced repeated the transfer back of the dike. In this way, disappeared over the centuries, the western part of the Horsbüllharde so that the Horsbüller church stands directly on the dike since 1805. Today, however, behind it is no longer the North Sea, but the Friedrich -Wilhelm -Luebke- polder.

The name says a legend, after the case of a large storm surge at the point where today the Horsbüller Marienkirche is a land owner to have been rescued from his horse ( = Hors ) from the floods. Büll is often represented in the Frisian area, meaning settlement, village. In J. A. Petersen found more versions to the emergence of the name.

Rimberti Church

Vault and organ

Bleiverschaltes font

Old lintel with incised drawings

Emmelsbull has a picturesque church of 1768, built on an elongated, rather high mound. The 1770 painted " sky " of the barrel vault was exposed again in the 1990s. The Empor images originate from the building time.

The interior comes largely from the medieval predecessor. The oldest is the font from Gotland limestone, as Valdemar II had erected it in the parishes newly founded by him. The basin is lined with lead. Maybe even older is kept in the anteroom door lintel from the old church with carved representations of animals. It is rather important in Germanic mythology, animals boar and dragon as a representation of a Jewish pig.

Pulpit and altar arose in the Baroque period and were also already in the old church. They resemble the equipment of Tonderner church. The risen Christ above the altar waves a blue -white-red Schleswig-Holstein flag. The victory flag, which originally resembled the Dannebrog, was painted over in the 19th century. 1900 painted the " frieze painters " Carl Ludwig Jessen two new images for the baroque altarpiece, the larger of which, a representation of the Ascension, but was replaced in the 1950s against a baroque paintings and now hangs on the south wall. Opposite is the original altarpiece, a Crucifixion. The pulpit shows six scenes from the life of Christ with Low German texts.

The Marcussen organ of 1874 was the first organ of the Wiedingharde. It has a still functional bellows. The church is by Rimbert, Archbishop of Hamburg -Bremen, named.

Economy and infrastructure

The community is dominated by agriculture, but the main sources of income are a clam processing plant and wind turbines. Similar to Galmsbüll there is a project Bürgerwindpark.

Many people live from tourism, be it through the rental of apartments, whether through jobs on Sylt.

In the dike increase the Friedrich- Wilhelm -Luebke- Koogs clothing was taken from fields, as the Nature Conservation Act bran extraction, ie the dredging of the tidal flats, in front of the dike is no longer allowed. Where clothing was removed, today is a system of lakes, which is increasingly used for tourism ( swimming area, fishing pond ), and is also accepted by migratory birds as a resting place.

Until the 1980s there was a station of the cruise track. As in many other villages, the infrastructure has been severely curtailed in recent decades.
