That´s also the region where the DHW tapestries (better say: where the tapestries ordered by the DHW) were manufactured.
It was there where the "Bauernrepublik Dithmarschen" was established and the local peasants lived and ruled on their own combined with self-administration and jurisdiction - for more than a century.
The victory at Hemmingstedt in 1500 under the tactical leader Wulf Isebrand was the final milestone leading into real independence which lastet until 1559.
A wealthy upper class of big farmers ruled - more or less - also after the repression in 1559 regionally under the table which preserved the high self-confidence and pride of the regional peasants in and around Dithmarschen.
It became an important pillar of power for the young NSDAP - in the election to the Reichstag on the 20th of May 1928 the NSDAP gathered in Dithmarschen 18% of the percentage of votes - whereas the percentage of votes within the whole Provinz Schleswig-Holstein was just 4% in general.
In the election for the Reichstag in 1930 it turned out to be 40% in Dithmarschen and 1932/33 more than 60%.
It turned out that the highest number of GBP holders in the whole Reich lived in the city of Dithmarschen and the region around!
