Geography and transport
Huje is located approximately 6 km northwest (10 km by road) of Itzehoe. The Bekau, Moorbrook, Mühlenbach, and Krammbek rivers flow through the municipality.
History
Huje was first mentioned in 1217 and likely served as a transshipment or loading place for ships.
Politics
Municipal council
In the municipal election on May 14, 2023, a total of nine seats were allocated. These seats were all once again won by the Huje Municipal Voter Association. Voter turnout was 72.1%.
Coat of arms
The "coat of arms" of the municipality cannot be described heraldically and is therefore not a coat of arms in the traditional sense, but rather belongs to the category of pictorial seals. It was chosen by the municipality after World War II in the absence of official seals free from Nazi and imperial symbols, and is still in use today.
Wind farm
Between Huje and Nutteln lies the Huje Wind Farm with 15 wind turbines of the Vestas V66/1650 type, with a total capacity of 24,750 kW. The wind farm was repowered in 2017. A total of 13 new turbines, reaching a height of 200 metres (660 feet), are planned to be installed.
