History of Schleswig-Holstein

Map of the Jutland Peninsula
  Northern Jutland (Nørrejylland), i.e. Jutland north of the Kongeå River. In Danish, the region can be subdivided into Nord-, Midt-, and Sydjylland. Not to be confused with "Nordjylland", the latter roughly corresponds to the North Denmark Region
  North Jutlandic Island; commonly reckoned as part of Jutland, although technically an island, since it was severed from the Jutland Peninsula in 1825 by a flood
  Northern Schleswig (Nordschleswig or Sønderjylland): Denmark (Middle Ages), part of the Duchy of Schleswig (a fief of the Danish crown) 13th century until 1864; German from 1864 until 1920; Danish since 1920
  Southern Schleswig (German since 1864; part of the Duchy of Schleswig (a fief of the Danish crown) until 1864; historically an integral part of Southern Jutland)
  Historical area of Holstein (Holsten), sometimes considered part of Jutland Peninsula – south to the Elbe and the Elbe-Lübeck Canal

The history of Schleswig-Holstein consists of the corpus of facts since the pre-history times until the modern establishing of the Schleswig-Holstein state.
