Huje is a municipality in the district of Steinburg, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Geography and transport
[edit]Huje is located approximately 6 km northwest (10 km by road) of Itzehoe. The Bekau, Moorbrook, Mühlenbach, and Krammbek rivers flow through the municipality.
History
[edit]Huje was first mentioned in 1217 and likely served as a transshipment or loading place for ships.[citation needed]
Politics
[edit]Municipal council
[edit]In the municipal election on May 14, 2023, a total of nine seats were allocated. These seats were all once again won by the Huje Municipal Voter Association. Voter turnout was 72.1%.[2]
Coat of arms
[edit]
The "coat of arms" of the municipality cannot be described heraldically and is therefore not a coat of arms in the traditional sense, but rather belongs to the category of pictorial seals.[3] It was chosen by the municipality after World War II in the absence of official seals free from Nazi and imperial symbols, and is still in use today.
Wind farm
[edit]Between Huje and Nutteln lies the Huje Wind Farm with 15 wind turbines of the Vestas V66/1650 type, with a total capacity of 24,750 kW.[4] The wind farm was repowered in 2017. A total of 13 new turbines, reaching a height of 200 metres (660 feet), are planned to be installed.
