Husum (North Frisian: Hüsem) is the capital of the Kreis (district) Nordfriesland in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The town was the birthplace of the novelist Theodor Storm, who coined the epithet "the grey town by the sea". It is also the home of the annual international piano festival Raritäten der Klaviermusik (Rarities of Piano Music) founded in 1986.

The Town by Theodor Storm

By the grey shore, by the grey sea
—And close by lies the town—
The fog rests heavy round the roofs
And through the silence roars the sea
Monotonously round the town.
No forest murmurs, no bird sings
Unceasingly in May;
The wand'ring goose with raucous cry
On autumn nights just passes by,
On the shoreline waves the grass.
Yet all my heart remains with you,
O grey town by the sea;
Youth's magic ever and a day
Rests smiling still on you, on you,
O grey town by the sea.
