Description
Heide is first mentioned in records in 1404 as Uppe de Heyde. After 1447, when it was chosen by the inhabitants of the Dithmarschen region as their place of assembly, it rose in importance and remained the capital of the independent peasant republic of Dithmarschen until 1559.
Its assemblies were held on the market square, which at 12 acres remains Germany's largest open marketplace. Heide is today the district capital of Dithmarschen, and currently has some 21,000 inhabitants.
MELDORF: In this bird's-eye view from the south the houses are once again grouped around the church at the center of the town. Dedicated to St John but commonly known as Meldorf cathedral, the first church was constructed from AD 810 to 826, in the 13th century it was rebuilt in the Gothic style. It originally stood right beside the North Sea, but due to land reclamation now lies - like the town itself - some 6 km from the coast. Meldorf is first mentioned in records in 1076. It was chartered in 1265 and served as Dithmarschen's place of assembly until Heide took over this role. Meldorf subsequently lost its charter in 1598. The town today has some 8,000 inhabitants.
