The sheep, in Latin Ovis, came ca. 4.000 years ago, then already a domestic animal from south east Asia over Persia and Mesopotamia to Europe. In the bible, lambs are the most frequent sacrifices. The sheep become so the dominate motive in Christian art. You will find it for instance in the Gardinger city arms, created in imitation of the Isenheimer altar by Mathis Grünewald (1460-1528).
How long the sheep have been at home at the North Friesian coasts is not kwon. One can assume for sure, that they always have been part of the livestock.
Since hundred of years, the sheep has been an important part of the region and dyke care. The visitors receive a comprehensive insight into the meaning of sheep husbandry for Schleswig-Holstein and the people who live here, during the lamb days.
