The urban coinage nominally dates from the permission given
by the Duke of Holstein in 1325, although the attribution of certain
bracteates of the previous century to this place, bearing the gateway and
towers, is doubtless correct. In 1305 there was a convention with Lubeck

1435. The albus, the schilling, and thaler, and their fractions and multiples
silver, and the ducat in gold, were current, as well as a
copper series, from 1574 to 1605. Some of the pieces bearing the name
of the town have the arms of the Von Hovel family either with or without
those of the municipality, and this circumstance may account for the
presence of the castle. There
