Itzehoe
Itzehoe Castle was first mentioned in 1168 as “Echeho.” The town of Itzehoe (‘Opidium Ekeho’) was first mentioned by Saxo Grammaticus in 1196. Later it was mentioned again as ‘de Ezeho’. The meaning of the name is still disputed today. The component -hoe seems most likely to describe an elevation or raised river bend and to be related to the -Hoo, -ho or -hoe names found in England (‘Sutton Hoo’, ‘Ivinghoe'). The first part, ‘Etze-’, ‘Eche-’ or “Itze-”, is associated either with a pasture or the Old Saxon word for ‘oak’.
