Like most towns at the North Sea , Husum was ever strongly influenced by storm tides. It is first mentioned 1252 , when here was the Danish castle of Husumbro, where king Abel was murdered. In 1362 a disastrous storm tide flooded the town and carved out the inland harbour. Prior to this date Husum was not situated directly at the coast.
