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.

Der ewige Katarrh und die Kraempfe in Brust und Unterleib mochten es noetig machen, und schlechtes Wetter war ueber Jena, seit Wochen, seit Wochen, das war richtig, ein miserables und hassenswertes Wetter, das man in allen Nerven spuerte, wuest, finster und kalt, und der Dezemberwind heulte im Ofenrohr, verwahrlost und gottverlassen, dass es klang nach naechtiger Heide im Sturm und Irrsal und heillosem Gram der Seele.
