Krempe

Krempe is a small municipality in northern Germany. It is located in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, within the district of Steinburg. The town sits in the western part of the state in the region known as the Krempermarsch, a marshy area along the Elbe that has long been used for agriculture. It lies a short distance from Itzehoe, the district capital, and is connected to the surrounding area by regional roads.

Historically, Krempe has roots dating back to the Middle Ages, with its development shaped by agriculture and local landownership. The municipality comprises the main village of Krempe and several smaller settlements in the surrounding countryside. Local administration provides basic services to residents and nearby communities, including schooling, waste collection, and cultural programming.

The economy is primarily agricultural, with some small businesses and trades serving the local population. In recent decades, residents have relied on regional commuting to larger towns for employment, while local amenities and rural tourism contribute modestly to the local economy.

As of the latest available information, the population is in the low thousands. The surrounding landscape is characterized by flat terrain, pastureland, and wind-farm visibility in the broader area. Cultural life tends to center on community events, local churches, and public spaces.
