The history of the battle of Hemmingstedt is very interesting, how an army of peasants decidedly repelled an army specialized in defeating peasant uprisings.
The guard had the battle cry "beware peasants, the guard is coming". After their historic defeat the Dithmarsian peasants took that battle cry and made it their own "Wahr di Garr, der bur de kumt!" -'Beware guard, the peasants are coming', mocking the foreign invaders.
