The mild caraway spirit from the Kremper Marsch
The town of Krempe is the central municipality of Kremper Marsch and is located between Glückstadt, Itzehoe and Elmshorn. Krempe is the smallest town in Holstein, was first mentioned in a document in 1234 and was granted town charter in 1239.
From 1535, Krempe was fortified at the behest of the Danish King Christian III. A wide moat was dug, bastions erected and four town gates built. The fortress was the second largest in Holstein after Rendsburg. At this time, the town was flourishing economically. Products from the fertile marsh were exported to Arkhangelsk, Venice and Lisbon via the Kremper Au, which was still navigable at the time. The fortress fell in 1628 after several months of siege by Wallenstein's troops. The surrendering city commander is said to have held a rat in front of Wallenstein's nose with the following words: Dat is de letzte. If we had any more, we would have had longer!
Kümmel or Köm is a traditional schnapps in northern Germany, similar to aquavit. It is drunk well chilled or hot in a tea punch. The caraway herb used in this distillate stimulates the appetite, relaxes and aids digestion.
Kremper Kümmel is characterized by a special mildness without being too sweet. It is produced in small batches using traditional methods.
