Geography

Nordfriesland – Dithmarschen Nord is located in northwestern Schleswig-Holstein. As of the 2021 federal election, it comprises the district of Nordfriesland and the northern part of the Dithmarschen district, specifically the urban municipality of Heide and the Ämter of Büsum-Wesselburen, Eider, and Heider Umland.[1]

History

Nordfriesland – Dithmarschen Nord was created in 1965, then known as Husum. It contained parts of the abolished constituencies of Husum – Südtondern – Eiderstedt and Norder- und Süderdithmarschen. Until 1972, it was constituency 3 in the numbering system. From 1972 until 2002, its name contained a hyphen between "Dithmarschen" and "Nord".

In the elections of 1965 and 1969, Husum consisted of the districts of Husum, Südtondern, Eiderstedt, and Norderdithmarschen. After reform of the administrative divisions in Schleswig-Holstein, the constituency acquired its current name and configuration, containing Nordfriesland and the northern part of Dithmarschen.
