Haitabu: A settlement from the Viking period (9th-11th centuries), located near the present day City of Schleswig, on the northern coast of Germany at the Baltic Sea. Haitabu is the German spelling/pronunciation; Hedeby is the Danish/English spelling. The area is currently being considered for a World Heritage Site status from UNESCO.
[.de] Haitabu: Eine Siedlung aus der Wikingerzeit (9. bis 11. Jahrhundert), in der Nähe der heutigen Stadt Schleswig, an der Nordküste von Deutschland an der Ostsee entfernt. Haitabu ist die deutsche Rechtschreibung / Aussprache; Haithabu ist die dänisch / englische Schreibweise. Der Bereich wird derzeit für eine Weltkulturerbe-Status der UNESCO berücksichtigt.
Haitabu-Hedeby is small village in the northeast corner of Independence Isle, founded by Urman. Urman migrated from Jenn Kellon Home, where he had been a member of the village of Wildside. The German name Haitabu, was given first billing in recognition of the German members of Wildside (Yupps, Wollschaf, Saroman, and Woodywurm), who migrated to Wild at the cleansing.
Enjoying a high position on the ridge above the outer sea, Haitabu has good access to the interior of the island. Close neighbors include Mist to the southwest and Fort Karhula to the southeast.

From the 8th to the 11th century A.D., the Vikings were a dominant force in northern Europe. The port city of Haithabu at the western end of the Baltic Sea inlet known as the Schlei was one of their most important settlements and mercantile centres.
Today, a fascinating Viking Museum awaits you in Haithabu, reopened in 2010 after a complete re-modelling and re-organisation. Directly adjacent to the museum, you can travel back in time one thousand years into the world of the legendary Norsemen with a visit to the seven reconstructed Viking houses of Haithabu.
