History
Hörnum is a small village located on the southern tip of the German island of Sylt, in the North Frisian Islands. Sylt itself is part of the state of Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany. The history of Hörnum is closely intertwined with the island's overall history.
The earliest settlements on Sylt date back to prehistoric times, with evidence of human habitation found as early as the Mesolithic period (around 8000 BC). However, Hörnum, as it is known today, started to develop more recently.
Throughout its history, Sylt, including Hörnum, was influenced by various tribes, such as the Frisians, Saxons, and Danes. These tribes shaped the cultural landscape of the island and influenced its language and traditions.
