Husum Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
town in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
About Husum
Husum is the birthplace of Theodor Storm, North Frisia's "national poet" whose most famous work "The Rider on the White Horse" ("Der Schimmelreiter" in the German original) deals with the tragic story of a storm flood. The town indeed has its history with storm floods; Husum was flooded in a desastrous flooding in 1362, which resulted in the construction of the Husum port. Before this flooding, Husum had not been situated directly at the coast. During the 19th century Husum changed hands from Denmark to Prussia and ultimately the newly formed German Empire, which however changed little about the ethnic makeup of the town. The Prussian authorities forbade the open display of the Danish flag ("Dannebrog") which led some local Danes to breed the "Husumer Protestschwein" ("Husum protest pig")
