Tips from the Community
The Protestant half-timbered church of St. Marien is located in Großenwörden (Oste) in the district of Stade, Lower Saxony, directly on the main road. Since 1972, it has been a branch church of the Protestant Lutheran parish of Horst in Burweg/Großenwörden in the Stade church district. Highly recommended. A great cycling and hiking route runs along here.

Near the current church, in the district "In der Helle", a chapel is said to have stood as early as the Middle Ages. Even this one was dedicated to Mary. It is said to have contained a carved altarpiece on which Mary was depicted with the Christ Child, standing on a skull and the crescent moon. At that time, the provost of Himmelpforten had the right to elect the chaplain of the church after he had bought this right from the cathedral provost in Bremen.

An open church in the east, right in the center of the village. Beautiful to see from the inside, don't just drive by. A visit is worthwhile.

The ferry is not a ship, but a vehicle that moves across a body of water by hanging from a fixed support. According to the support association, there are eight such transporter bridges worldwide. In Germany, another one usually operates in Rendsburg over the Kiel Canal. However, due to a technical defect, it has been out of service until at least the end of July, according to the operator. Further such structures exist, according to the World Federation of Transporter Bridges, in Argentina, France, Great Britain, and Spain.

"Salty air, sun, frost and other weather influences cause rust to flourish and weaken the steel structure," explained Karl-Heinz Brinkmann of the support association for the preservation of the Osten-Hemmoor suspension ferry. According to the support association, the rust must be stopped. To achieve this, the damaged areas are to be cleaned and sealed. "Some damaged parts need to be replaced," said Brinkmann. The renovation is planned for the next two years.
