Attractions and Places To See around Norstedt - Top 20

The one that once belonged to Hannes Wader is worth a break including a photo opportunity.

Beautiful Evangelical Lutheran church in the heart of Hattstedt with an interesting history. Theodor Storm already knew this church because he attended the Husum School of Letters during his lifetime with the son of the pastor at the time. The impressive church tower in particular was mentioned several times in Storm's works. There are also gravestones of former dike reeves on the cemetery grounds.

Beautiful, well-kept church! ⚓️

Nature lovers enjoy a nature tour or a hike through the forest and heath. The Husum poet Theodor Storm also appreciated these.

To this day, coastal ship captains use the white-painted south side of the Hattstedt church as a guide. The church was also an important landmark for the poet Theodor Storm: he often describes the church in his works. He married his second wife, Dorothea Jensen, in the garden of the so-called Kompastorat in Hattstedt in 1866. The dike master Johann Iwersen-Schmidt, Theodor Storm's model for the character Tede Volkert from the novella "The Rider on the White Horse", is buried in the churchyard.

The little church by the sea in Schobüll, a district of Husum, is an impressive early Gothic brick church from the 13th century. This church is not only known for its historic architecture, but also for its beautiful location directly on the North Sea coast. The church, also known as “ecclesiola sub mare”, has a rich interior. Particularly noteworthy are the apostle frieze, which depicts the 12 apostles as well as John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene, and the octagonal baptismal font from the 15th century. The Régence-style pulpit from 1735, carved by Jens Süncksen, is also a highlight of the church. Another interesting detail is the 17th century towel rack, which shows the baptism of Christ. The church is surrounded by an idyllic cemetery, which invites you to linger and offers a picturesque view of the North Sea.

The fire hydrant became a symbol through the design of the memorial. Its remains represent the arbitrariness with which SS men and some Kapos beat and tortured the concentration camp prisoners. They used the fire hydrant to mistreat the prisoners: the men were tied to the metal column while soaking wet or had to sit on the cover of the fire hydrant (which is now missing) and remain there. The concentration camp prisoners were subjected to numerous other forms of harassment and punishment.
