Friedrichstadt (; ; ; ; ) is a town in the district of North Frisia district (Nordfriesland) of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is situated on the river Eider approx. 12 km (7 miles) south of Husum.
== History == The town was founded in 1621 by Dutch settlers. Duke Friedrich III of Holstein-Gottorp persuaded them to invest capital and knowledge in this region in turn for freedom of their Mennonite and Remonstrant religions (see: Arminianism) and opportunities to reclaim fen and marsh land in the vicinity of the town. One of them was Johannes Narssius. Dutch became an official language. The town was named after Duke Frederick.
