Peat cutting, i.e., the above-ground extraction of peat, is no longer economically viable today. Peat as a fuel has largely been replaced by other high-energy fossil fuels. Many large-scale peatlands suitable for industrial extraction have now been drained. New peat cutting areas are only permitted under strict conditions. Raised bogs have an important regulatory effect on the water balance due to the large amounts of precipitation they can absorb. The preservation of the original habitats serves landscape conservation and species protection, as most species of peatland flora and fauna are considered threatened or critically endangered. Bogs grow extremely slowly; an intact peat body increases in thickness by only one millimeter per year. It therefore takes a thousand years for a one-meter-high layer of peat to form. Thus, bog areas recover very slowly during restoration attempts.

The reclamation of the Himmelmoor began around 1780. Its edges were divided into 1,000 to 5,000 square meter plots and transferred to farmers from neighboring villages for peat extraction. Industrial peat extraction began in the 1870s. Peat was now also extracted from the center of the moor using machines. Peat excavators extracted the black peat, compressed it, and divided it into sods. Turning the drying sods was increasingly done by machine, as was the collection of the dry peat. The low-energy fuel was packaged and loaded at the peat works.

Roland is a symbol of market peace and the coat of arms and seal of the city of Wedel (Holstein). The Roland statue was probably first erected around 1450 by the sovereign of the County of Pinneberg, the Count of Schauenburg, and served as a symbol of his market justice, customs, warehousing, and ferry rights. The statue was replaced in 1558. The figure is made of solid Bückeburg sandstone and composed of 32 individual parts. It weighs approximately 8 tons. Over the centuries, the figure has been restored several times. To mark its 500th anniversary, the figure was thoroughly restored in 1950 and moved to its current location. Its original location was the center of the market square. The Roland statue was last restored in 2012, for the 800th anniversary of the city of Wedel. The color scheme was restored to its earliest known state. According to legend, Roland was a knight in the service of Emperor Charlemagne, who lived from 747 to 814.
