History

Holm Galmsbüll

The holm Galmsbüll was first mentioned in the middle of the 13th century in King Waldemar Erdbuch as an island. She was slightly larger than Oland and one of the most important salt mining areas of the West Coast. In liber censualis of Schleswig cathedral chapter a church is listed on the then projected to Horsbüllharde " Gelmelsbüll " since 1462.

In the 17th century there were various plans for reclamation of Dagebüller bay, which also Galmsbüll should be included. In 1634 the so-called Dagebüller work was already well penetrated, as the Burchardiflut all efforts nullified. The continuation of the work failed because of the costs and difficulties deepened by the flood Watt currents, especially the Kleiseetief frameworks. The silting up of the following decades made ​​possible the reclamation of the Christian -Albrecht- polders. In connection therewith, the holm in 1701 was linked by a causeway to the mainland firmly, but not self- diked, although that had been laid down in a Oktroy 1700.

After the visitation report of 1710, there were on the holm about 80 households. Galmsbüll was considered the poorest parish of the Duchy of Schleswig. At the Christmas flood of 1717 the water was a foot deep in the church and destroyed numerous homes, including parsonage, clerk and teacher's house, almost entirely. Although since the 1730s were no longer sufficient revenue of Halligbewohner for the tax and since 1745 the king had to contribute to the maintenance costs of the mound, you can still replaced in 1749 the dilapidated old wooden church with a new building at the old place right on the escarpment. This new church was the first red-roofed stone church on Galmsbüll. The Galmsbüller into debt for it considerably. Duke Christian Albrecht gave the church a bell that came from the defunct in the Burchardiflut Church of Evesbüll on beach. Only 26 years later, this church was strongly in need of repair again.

Along the dam built in 1701 to 1780 formed dyke finished country. It was therefore decided in 1788 to abandon the holm and instead embank the ongrowth. Only in 1782 was the salt-works, was once the main source of income of the residents set next to the seafaring, after she was no longer profitable long ago. At the time, in contrast to Dagebüll unsecured Holm had already shrunk considerably by storms and degradation of Salztorfs. Of the original four mounds was only one left, which lay on the sea directly without foreshore and its habitable area with each tower was smaller. The 1798 diked Marienkoog led to a further change in the flow at the holm. In 1800, the church had to be removed because of the danger of collapse. The parish was dissolved. In the following years, the last inhabitants in the new Marienkoog relocated. From the stones of the demolished church was erected an almshouse for those who did not own their own land, where services were held also to the construction of the new church. In the so-called holm flood in 1825 since 1802 constantly completely lapped mound went completely under.

Age Christian -Albrechts- polder

1681 signed Christian Albrecht, the then Duke of Schleswig -Holstein - Gottorp, a Oktroy, which should attract financially strong prospects to participate in the Dagebüller bay at the diking of the country growth. In return for their commitment to them should the reclaimed land be left to the property and they should also jurisdiction, police violence, dyke supervision, administration and patronage are subject to a yet to be constructed church. Already in 1682 the seawall was completed. The prospects who came mostly from the surrounding Harden Wiedingharde, Bökingharde and Karrharde, received land according to their financial participation. The newly acquired land was considered the most fertile in the kingdom, so that the dike construction involved large profit it had.

In the polder there are several old farms. On the farm flour shortage, the film was 1970 The German hour, an adaptation of the novel by German Lesson Siegfried Lenz rotated.

New Christian -Albrechts- polder

The New Christian -Albrechts- enclosed land was diked for another Oktroy 1705-06. One of the oldest farms, who built about 1710 Carolinenhof is under renovation state in 1849 now closed as typical North Frisian -built four-sided to visit with tiles and chests in the open-air museum Molfsee.

Kleiseerkoog

The Kleiseerkoog was dammed in 1725. In the same year a Dreiseithof was built in the polder, which is a listed building due to its high historical value.

Marienkoog

The inhabitants of the holm Galmsbüll who could afford a house or a farm built in Marienkoog. At the census in February 1803, there were 17 families. Of the 29 households who were still living in 1803 on the holm Galmsbüll, most of them went also to the Marienkoog, as the holm had to be abandoned in 1825.

Galmsbüllkoog

The Galmsbüllkoog, which also encloses a part of the territory of the ancient holm with, originated in 1913 as Sommerkoog before Marienkoog, the farmed the Marienkooger farmers. After storm surges every other year the harvest destroyed, it was decided in 1933 a dike reinforcement and was highlighted as part of a land reclamation program by the Nazi blood and soil ideology in 1939 Galmsbüllkoog dike (see, Adolf Hitler polder, Hermann- Goring - polder ). The Reich Labor Service, who had carried out the work, was drawn to the war. Only in 1950 the first houses were occupied in Galmsbüllkoog, eleven years after the outer dike was completed.

Communities

The polders Old and New Christian -Albrechts- polder, Kleiseerkoog and Marienkoog initially formed independent communities in 1889 and assigned to the District Dagebüllerkoog. Around the turn of the century, the two Christian -Albrechts- polders were combined to form a community. (In the community directories from 1900 and earlier, both communities have been listed yet, at the latest in 1908 only one. Via the exact date of the merger are no documents known. ) After the Second World War, the District was dissolved and in its place came the Office Dagebüll to 1967. After the dissolution of the communities came to the office Bökingharde.

Only when the church freedom of choice was repealed in 1874, the two Christian -Albrechts- polders merged with the Marienkoog and the northern Kleiseerkoog to today's church and planned their new church, which is called as the holm church after St. Gallus. Until the inauguration was to be another 17 years.

The St. Gallus church was built in 1890/1891 by Heinrich Moldenschardt in neo-Gothic brick style. Your ornamental sgraffito plaster is unique in northern Europe.
