    The first Büsum church was built around 1281 on the former island of Biusne. It was consecrated to St. Clement, patron saint of boatmen and coastal dwellers. Clemens was the third bishop of Rome and Pope around AD 100. The Büsum church seal shows him with the anchor with which he was drowned, according to legend, in the Black Sea.
    The first church fell victim to a storm surge, the great Mandranke of 1362. The then rebuilt church became a robbery of the flames. The third church was built by the islanders in 1442 on a heaped heap, a heaped up mound, which offered protection in storm surges. The church was therefore a safe haven for all inhabitants of Büsum during storm surges and a meeting place for secular or church announcements. Above all, it was and is a place of worship and pause. The church is open daily from 8am to 4pm.

      Right next to the fishermen's church of St. Clement stands the bronze statue commemorating Johann Adolfi Kösters, called Neocorus, who lived from 1550-1630. He became known as a chronicler mainly by his detailed descriptions of the customs and customs of the 16th century and not least the Battle of Hemmingstedt. He was also the second Büsum pastor. The statue was designed by Jens Rusch in 2009.

        Büsum is one of the original parishes mentioned in 1140 documents, which separated from the Dithmarschen mother church in Meldorf. The first Büsum church was built around 1281 on the former island of Biusne. It was dedicated to St. Clemens, the patron saint of sailors and coastal residents. Clemens was the third bishop of Rome and Pope around 100 AD. The Büsum parish seal shows him with the anchor with which, according to legend, he was drowned in the Black Sea.
        The first church fell victim to a storm surge, the great flood of 1362.
        The church that was rebuilt afterwards was destroyed by fire.
        The islanders built the third church in 1442 on a mound of earth that was raised up to provide protection from storm surges. The church was therefore a safe haven for all Büsum residents during storm surges and a meeting place for secular or ecclesiastical announcements. Above all, however, it was and is a place of devotion and reflection.
