Risum-Lindholm (North Frisian: Risem-Lunham) is a municipality in the district of Nordfriesland, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Geography
[edit]Location
[edit]Risum-Lindholm lies about five kilometres southeast of Niebüll and six kilometres west of Leck on a boundary between a low, sandy area of geest and the marshes.
Villages
[edit]
The municipality was formed in 1969 from the formerly independent municipalities of Risum and Lindholm. Because it extends over several kilometres, the villages of Maasbüll (North Frisian: Moosbel, Danish: Masbøl), Risum (NF: Risem), Lindholm (NF: Lunham), Klockries (NF: Klookris, Dan: Klokris), Wegacker (NF: Wäieeker) and Kremperhaus (Dan. Krempehus) (beside Broweg (NF: Bruwäi), Läiged, Legerade (NF: Läigeroos) and Herrenkoog (NF: Hiirnekuch, Dan: Herrekog[2][3]), which do not lie on the long village street) are of great importance for describing a location. In local usage, the actual municipal name is rarely used, but rather the name of the respective village.
Notable people
[edit]- Momme Andresen (1857-1951), born in Risum, industrial chemist who made practical developments in photography, including the invention of Rodinal
