Süderende (Fering: "Söleraanj") is a municipality on the island of Föhr in the district of Nordfriesland, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

History

The place used to belong to Oldsum, being its southern edge. After Denmark's loss of Schleswig to Prussia in 1864 and the subsequent municipal reformation, Süderende became independent.

Language

The common language among the locals is Fering. The language is being kept alive by being traded to the next generation by many of the inhabitants.

Education

Süderende has got the elementary school for western Föhr, which also hosts the lutheran kindergarten of the St. Laurentii parish.

ights

On the southern edge of the village the church of St. Lawrence is located, originally a roman style construction from the 12th century made of stone, which was later extended using bricks. These bricks dominate today's view of the church. In the 1990's, Renaissance paintings were uncovered on the church's ceiling. In the ample graveyard the tombs of Matthias Petersen and Oluf Braren can be seen among others.

Politics

Since the communal elections of 2008, the "Süderender Wählergemeinschaft" holds six out of seven seats in the council. The seventh seat is held by a single candidate.
