Heide
Heide is a town in
Schleswig-Holstein,
Germany. It is the capital of the Kreis (district)
Dithmarschen. Population: 21,000.The
German word Heide means "heath". In the
15th century four adjoining villages decided to build a church in the "middle of the heath". This remained the town's name to date. The exact foundation date is now unknown, but by 1447 Heide was already the main village of Dithmarschen. At this time Dithmarschen was an independent peasant republic. Heide became a town in the
19th century and now is a tourist resort.
