Jurjen Van Der Kooi
Jurjen van der Kooi (Hurdegaryp, 22 December 1943 – Drachten, 4 September 2018) was a Dutch university lecturer and folklorist from Frisia. He was widely recognized as an authority in the field of folk tales from Frisia, Northern Netherlands and parts of northern Germany. Life and career Van der Kooi was born in 1943 in Hurdegaryp. He studied literature and until his retirement in 2004 was head lecturer and associate professor of folklore and oral literature at the University of Groningen.

North Frisia
North Frisia (; ; ) is the northernmost portion of Frisia, located in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany between the rivers Eider and Wiedau. It also includes the North Frisian Islands and Heligoland. The region is traditionally inhabited by the North Frisians. History Ancient settlements The geestland islands along the North Frisian coastline were already densely settled in the time of the early Roman Empire while the marshes further inland were not suited for settling. Only a few ancient marshland settlements have been found during archaeological excavations, namely in the modern area of southern Sylt, the Wiedingharde and along the southern Eiderstedt peninsula. With the beginning of the Migration Period, the number of settlements in North Frisia became ever lesser and many were totally abandoned. A new increase in population in the 8th century has been attributed to immigration but it is thought that the area had not been completely depopulated before.Kühn, Hans Joachim, "Archäo ...

Speciesthaler
The ''Speciesthaler'', also ''Speciestaler'' or ''Speziestaler'', was a type of silver specie coin that was widespread from the 17th to the 19th century and was based on the ''9-Thaler'' standard of the original ''Reichsthaler''. In Scandinavian sources the term ''Speciesdaler'' is used and, in German sources, the abbreviation ''Species'' was also common. General The 1566 Imperial Minting Ordinance of the Holy Roman Empire stipulated that 9 ''Reichsthalers'' were to be coined a fine Cologne Mark of silver (ca. 234 g). The official ''Reichstaler'' to the ''9-Thaler'' standard thus had a calculated fine silver content of 25.984 g. ''Speciestaler'' was a common name in (Northern) Germany and Scandinavia in the 18th and 19th centuries. The suffix ''-taler'' goes back to the ''Joachimstaler'' ''Guldengroschen''. The prefix ''Species-'' goes back to the Latin word ''species'', "face" or, in Middle Latin, "bust image". ''Speciesthalers'' are mostly silver coins with an embossed h ...

European Polecat
The European polecat (''Mustela putorius''), also known as the common polecat, black polecat, or forest polecat, is a species of mustelid native to western Eurasia and North Africa.

Like other mustelids, the European polecat is polygamous, with pregnancy occurring after mating, with no induced ovulation. It usually gives birth in early summer to litters consisting of five to 10 kits, which become ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Föhr ( ''Fering'' North Frisian: ''Feer''; da, Før) is one of the North Frisian Islands on the German coast of the North Sea. It is part of the Nordfriesland district in the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein. Föhr is the second-largest North Sea island of Germany and a popular destination for tourists.

Schleswig
The Duchy of Schleswig ( da, Hertugdømmet Slesvig; german: Herzogtum Schleswig; nds, Hartogdom Sleswig; frr, Härtochduum Slaswik) was a duchy in Southern Jutland () covering the area between about 60 km (35 miles) north and 70 km (45 mi) south of the current border between Germany and Denmark. The territory has been divided between the two countries since 1920, with Northern Schleswig in Denmark and Southern Schleswig in Germany. The region is also called Sleswick in English. Unlike Holstein and Lauenburg, Schleswig was never a part of the German Confederation. Schleswig was instead a fief of Denmark, and its inhabitants spoke Danish, German, and North Frisian.

A German uprising in March 1848 caused the First Schleswig War which ended in 1852. The Second Schleswig War (1864) ended with the three duchies being governed jointly by Austri ...
