Tips from the Community
Two fishermen in weatherproof work clothes stand close together, one with his hands in his pockets, one with his hand outstretched forward, pointing the way. Both look determinedly ahead with a firm gaze. They want to defy not only the forces of nature, but also all other challenges in life. The Fishermen's Monument was donated in 1994 by Reederei Deilmann on the occasion of the city's 750th anniversary.

Shortly before reaching Neustadt, a narrow path leads through the inland waterway... Parts of it are now silted up and are occupied by cattle pastures...

The Hospital Church in Neustadt in Holstein dates back to a medieval foundation that originally served as a "hospital" – from the Latin hospitale = hostel, guesthouse, or pilgrim's house – and offered accommodation and care to the poor, the sick, and travelers. The name thus indicates its dual function as a religious site and social institution.
