St. Catherine's Chapel with Memorial Stone

Highlight • Religious Site

The St. Catherine's Chapel in Müssen is first mentioned in the visitation report of 1581.
In the 18th century it fell into disrepair, and a letter from 1783 states that the chapel had "fallen over", i.e. collapsed.
It took almost two centuries before a chapel was built again in Müssen.


The current chapel was built in 1963 according to plans by the Hamburg architect Gert Johannsen as part of the chapel building program of the Schleswig-Holstein State Church and was again dedicated to St. Catherine.
However, it is not located on the site of the old chapel, which was lost due to gravel mining, but in the current village center on a piece of land that was donated to the parish by the local municipality.
One of the furnishings in the new chapel is the altar cross by the Hamburg craftsman Friedrich Stuhlmüller.

Müssen Stone Louse

Highlight • Structure

In Müssen, some specimens of the stone louse (Petrophaga lorioti), which fortunately for homeowners has become extremely rare, have obviously found a new home.

Unfortunately, they cannot be seen with the naked eye, but they have left clear traces on the walls and nibbled on several bricks.

They seem to particularly like this type of stone.

It must be a special mixture. If they feel comfortable here and multiply, it will probably only be a matter of time before they have plastered the entire building. 😉

You can find more detailed information about the stone louse here:

A quaint little tunnel, which was actually created primarily only for the flow of the Mühlenbek under the railway line. It is more difficult to pass when the tide is high, and you can get your feet wet. When it is dry or in frosty weather, you can always get through on the stones lying on the edge. You just have to try it.
Railway lines separate the landscapes and you can't get over. This small but important tunnel offers a good opportunity to cross under the railway line and it is the first possibility east of Schwarzenbek.
It's fun and a "little adventure" on the route - a welcome change, especially for children.

Mongolian prayer wheels Müssen

Highlight • Monument

When I walked past here today, I was surprised at the strange stones along the way, but then didn't pay any more attention to them. Only when I got home did I see in the Komoot map that they had already been set as a highlight by FORESTJRG and what their purpose was. Learned something again.

A prayer wheel is also called a mani-mill or mani-wheel and is a roller or wheel containing a roll of paper. Prayers or mantras are printed on this paper roll. The prayer wheels are often elaborately decorated with prayers. Prayer wheels come in different sizes. Especially in the Himalayan states of India, Nepal, Tibet and the Kingdom of Bhutan, the paths are often lined with man-high prayer wheels. Many of these large mills can be found at stupas or temples and housed in colorfully decorated cottages. According to Buddhist belief, moving them by hand is good luck. Some prayer wheels are also powered by the power of wind or water. In addition to the larger mills, small hand mills are also very popular.
