Højer Municipality
[edit]The former Højer Municipality covered an area of 117 km2, and had a total population of 2,861 (2005). Its last mayor was Peter Christensen, a member of the Social Democrats (Socialdemokraterne) political party.
The coastal area of the former municipality is a nature reserve.
The municipality was created in 1970 due to a kommunalreform ("Municipality Reform") that combined a number of existing parishes:
- Daler Parish
- Emmerlev Parish
- Hjerpsted Parish
- Højer Parish
On 1 January 2007 Højer municipality ceased to exist due to Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with Bredebro, Løgumkloster, Nørre-Rangstrup, Skærbæk, and Tønder municipalities to form the new Tønder Municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 1,352 km2 and a total population of 42,645 (2005).
