'''Sehestedt''' ({{langx|da|Sehested}}) is a municipality in the district of [Rendsburg-Eckernförde](/source/Rendsburg-Eckernf%C3%B6rde), in [Schleswig-Holstein](/source/Schleswig-Holstein), [Germany](/source/Germany).

Sehestedt is south of the municipality of [Groß Wittensee](/source/Gro%C3%9F_Wittensee), [Haby](/source/Haby%2C_Schleswig-Holstein) or [Holtsee](/source/Holtsee), but north of [Bovenau](/source/Bovenau), and west of [Lindau](/source/Lindau). It is divided into two parts by the [Kiel Canal](/source/Kiel_Canal), which has to be crossed by a ferry.

==History==
In the course of the [War of the Sixth Coalition](/source/War_of_the_Sixth_Coalition) against Napoleon, the [Battle of Sehested](/source/Battle_of_Sehested) was fought here between Danish forces and a coalition of Sweden, Prussia and Russia on 10 December 1813. The result was a Danish victory which could however not prevent Denmark's subsequent defeat in the war.
