Rosenkranz–Rudbøl Border Crossing
Highlight • Structure
The road that winds between the houses to the Rosenkranz-Rudbøl border crossing is narrow. This unusual border town is located near the west coast and near the Emil Nolde Foundation in Neukirchen. On the road, pedestrians are constantly looking for the embedded border markers. So you don't know exactly whether you are in Germany or Denmark, and the border runs partly between the houses in a westerly direction.
But why was the border drawn this way at the Rosenkranz-Rudbøl border crossing? One explanation describes the personal wish of the house owners on the western side to belong to Denmark. In fact, part of the border runs between the properties.
The other version says that the planned border should have run right through the Old German Border Krog and so it was agreed that the border should be in the middle of the road. The most likely scenario, however, is that the Ruttebüller See was to be allocated half to both countries in order to give the rush cutters and fishermen equal opportunities.
The western Koog, however, should definitely belong to Denmark and so it was agreed that the border between Denmark and Germany should run along the middle of the top of the dike towards the Koog. And this very top of the dike is the road.
The border itself is marked with buoys on the Ruttebüller See.

Apostle Church Deezbüll
Highlight • Religious Site
On the west side of the church, a heavy wrought iron gate from the A. Schmidt blacksmith's shop in Trappenkamp closes off the enlarged cemetery entrance. A stone bridge previously stood on this spot.
The church is originally a Gothic building - initially without a tower - from the end of the 13th century, still recognizable by the pointed arched bricked-up north portal and the small windows on the north side. The south windows and the chancel were enlarged in the 18th century. The old granite stone foundations are still visible on the north side.
The coffin with the deceased was led to the burial through the vestibule on the south side - first mentioned in 1649 - also called the mortuary and ossuary. There is a sundial on the gable of the vestibule.
A new tower was built in 1964 based on the old one, which now has three bells from the Karlsruhe bell foundry, a God the Father bell, a Christ bell and a Holy Spirit bell.
The main piece in the church is the winged altar (15th century) with a coronation of the Virgin Mary in the center.
Because of the various depictions of the apostles in the church, the church was given the name Apostelkirche Deezbüll in 1993.
The tombstones of famous people are on the north side of the old cemetery.
