ハットシュテットでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Schobüller Forest, not ‘Schönböhler’

Grave mound from the Bronze Age

Beautiful Evangelical Lutheran church in the heart of Hattstedt with an interesting history. Theodor Storm already knew this church because he attended the Husum School of Letters during his lifetime with the son of the pastor at the time. The impressive church tower in particular was mentioned several times in Storm's works. There are also gravestones of former dike reeves on the cemetery grounds.

A North Sea holiday between marsh and heathland, with the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site in view and the port city of Husum within sight - that's what the North Frisian holiday resort of Hattstedt is like. In Husum Bay, Hattstedt is ideally located for venturing out in all directions on a North Sea holiday.

Nature lovers enjoy a nature tour or a hike through the forest and heath. The Husum poet Theodor Storm also appreciated these.

To this day, coastal ship captains use the white-painted south side of the Hattstedt church as a guide. The church was also an important landmark for the poet Theodor Storm: he often describes the church in his works. He married his second wife, Dorothea Jensen, in the garden of the so-called Kompastorat in Hattstedt in 1866. The dike master Johann Iwersen-Schmidt, Theodor Storm's model for the character Tede Volkert from the novella "The Rider on the White Horse", is buried in the churchyard.

For whatever reason.

The tower of the Hattstedt Church rises above the marshland and the dike, visible from afar. Built on a ridge near the Wadden Sea, this tower has served as a navigation mark for coastal shipping for over 500 years. The white-painted south side shines far across the country and still serves as orientation for motor and fishing boats. Just five km north of Husum, this church is the visible spiritual center of the North Frisian parish. The Hattstedt Church was first mentioned in documents in 1240. It was dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and was built in three phases. The St. Marien Church is, along with Mildstedt and Ostenfeld, one of the oldest (and largest) in the Südergoesharde. In the Middle Ages it was considered the most stately church far and wide; Another church near Ellerbüll in the Marsch - Wartinghusen - was destroyed by the Great Mandrenke in 1362. The church has been changed many times. The originally lead-roofed church received in the 19th century. a wooden and natural shingle covering. In 1986 the copper covering was carried out throughout. The old entrance portal in the west was bricked up in 1964. The beamed ceiling was also exposed in 1986 by removing the thatched plaster ceiling with stucco. The south windows were enlarged in 1873, and the tower window was reopened to its old size in 1986. https://kirchengemeinde-hattstedt.de/die-st-marien-kirche
