Wildnisse

Two large tracts of reclaimed land on the outskirts of Glückstadt were privately owned and had the status of adlige Güter. They were not, however, assigned to GD Itzehoe, but retained their own special status as “Wildnisse” and remained with the core duchy after 1640. The Wildnis names changed with the ownership, but official documents did not always keep up with those name changes. Thus, the names listed below for each Wildnis show a date range during which the name appears in official documents.
