The Ellerau Evangelical Lutheran Church is a member of the North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church and belongs to the Hamburg Diocese. The congregation currently has approximately 2,300 members. Daily at 6:00 p.m., the "peace ringing" of its bells invites everyone to remember and pray for the people of Ukraine.

The reclamation of the Himmelmoor began around 1780. Its edges were divided into 1,000 to 5,000 square meter plots and transferred to farmers from neighboring villages for peat extraction. Industrial peat extraction began in the 1870s. Peat was now also extracted from the center of the moor using machines. Peat excavators extracted the black peat, compressed it, and divided it into sods. Turning the drying sods was increasingly done by machine, as was the collection of the dry peat. The low-energy fuel was packaged and loaded at the peat works.

From April to October, the exhibition is open every first and third Sunday and on public holidays in the old peat works at Himmelmoorchaussee 61 in Quickborn. It features pictures and old maps, presenting, among other things, the historical peat extraction process, the tools and machinery used, the climate impact of moors, and the diverse flora and fauna of the Himmelmoor Nature Reserve. Depending on the weather, short, spontaneous tours can be arranged. Admission is free, and donations for volunteer work are always welcome. https://www.hamburg-tourism.de/sehen-erleben/veranstaltungen/veranstaltungskalender/open-torfwerk-am-himmelmoor/

In summer you can visit the peat factory every second Sunday

Even before reaching the Himmelsmoor, the landscape is swampy. From the north-east, paths lead to the moor, which are natural and mostly run over moorland. When you walk, you get a slightly drunk impression - no wonder, the ground trembles with every step! An incredibly beautiful feeling.

The old little "wagons" are right next to the parking lot

An airfield was to be built here in the 1960s. How glad am I that it didn't come to that because of the many protests. Today we can enjoy the beautiful landscape

Simply a beautiful piece of earth. Here is something else from the network: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himmelmoor
