An absolute must-visit! On Sundays, volunteers serve delicious homemade cakes, coffee, tea, and much more! There are no prizes; everyone contributes what they want. Super delicious 😋. The tour of the house is also exciting and fantastic. Everything is maintained solely through donations; the association is run with a lot of heart and soul!!!!!!!! A MUST-VISIT!!!!!!!!

When looking at the bronze sculpture "The Motherly One" in front of Niebüll Town Hall, the unusual posture is immediately noticeable. Sculptor Waldemar Grzimek deliberately moved away from a lifelike depiction of the body. The focus is more on the tension of the body, which is created by the optical reference points of shoulders, arms and legs. The lower legs spread outwards, the upper body leaning forward and the arms crossed in front of the chest follow geometric and analytical rules. They visually pull the woman's torso together and radiate a protective power. The artist did not want to show an ideal woman, but rather to work out special features. The fact that the body appears a little distorted and displaced as a result underlines his intention. Data on the work: Waldemar Grzimek: The Motherly One (1963, bronze) Hauptstraße 44, 25899 Niebüll Route planner: 54.78613, 8.82646 https://sh-kunst.de/waldemar-grzimek-die-muetterliche/?taxonomy=orte&terms=591

Hans Momsen, the "polymath and astronomer from the North Frisian village of Fahretoft, was given a monument with the purchase and furnishing of the Hans Momsen House. In 2010, Hans-Werner Paulsen from Fahretoft and the "Hans Momsen Society e.V." he founded managed to purchase the home of the "Copernicus of Fahretoft" with the help of some generous donations. After 5 years of renovation, a lot of sweat and a financial blessing from Axel Springer's widow, Friede Springer, the house was opened to the public in 2015.

The first news of the existence of a church in Fahretoft dates back to the 14th century, the first official evidence was in 1462. At that time, Fahretoft was still an undyed hallig. The first clergyman known by name was in 1586. The original church in Fahretoft was destroyed by fire in 1635 and the new building in 1668 was also damaged by fire. The church as we see it today was built in 1703, with the benevolent support of the Dukes of Gottorf. The guardian - the Bishop of Lübeck - had the building completed. A stone plaque in the church commemorates this. The church is surrounded by the Fahretoft cemetery. The church received the entrance porch in 1855 and the church was painted white inside. The former bell tower was covered with wood paneling. A colorful "Good Shepherd" window was donated in 1909 by the Hansen family from Chicago. The window "The Prodigal Son" was also donated by emigrants in 1950. The bell dates from 1926, as the previous bells had broken. The bell tower was renewed in 1983. According to legend, the patron saint was tortured to death on a red-hot grate. The modern lectern symbolizes this act. The altar candlesticks bear the year 1675, the chalice is dated 1600. The collection bags date from 1704. https://kirche-dagebuell.de/fahretoft

The department store has (almost) everything your heart desires... even souvenirs. But also clothes, stationery, etc.

December 8, 2023, Malmesbury Park

Designed as an “English Park” – a park modeled on the great outdoors – Malmesbury Park owes its name to the partnership between the cities of Niebüll and Malmesbury in England. Here you will find ecologically valuable elements such as a flower meadow, bushes and ponds. Bats have their hunting grounds here and can be easily observed at dusk. Hedges also serve as valuable habitats for a variety of creatures. The park is not only a local recreation area, but also suitable for smaller cultural events. https://www.niebuell.de/media/custom/2435_1715_1.PDF?1679588422
