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.

A North Sea holiday between marsh and heathland, with the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site in view and the port city of Husum within sight - that's what the North Frisian holiday resort of Hattstedt is like. In Husum Bay, Hattstedt is ideally located for venturing out in all directions on a North Sea holiday.

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.
