I've been to Hinrichs' shop a few times recently. He really makes an effort to satisfy his customers. There's a lot to choose from for a small shop. From the Pro cycling saddle [which I've personally been riding for years.] To lighting, lighting, gears, and much more. He helps wherever he can.

Beautiful place in East Frisia. It's amazing and surprising when you consider that it used to be right by the sea!

The small ice cream parlor next to the church is highly recommended

A beautiful place. Typical for East Frisia...

Cute place with everything you need

Nice place to stay.

Yes, another "ugly" brick church from the outside......but if you walk past the cemetery to the pastor's house on the right + get the key there, you can admire beautiful old paintings inside 😉 ("The late Romanesque wall paintings are of particular art-historical importance in the church room, which were created around 1240.") It is considered the only real choir tower church in the north German coastal area and, at around 40 meters long, is one of the largest sacred buildings in the Krummhörn. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eilsumer_Kirche 🤓

On August 1, 1982, a monument to Störtebeker was erected at the Brooktor in Hamburg's free port and, in the opinion of the then port director, Mönkemeier, enriched the city of Hamburg with a tourist attraction. Marienhafe had had the tower of the Marienkirche for centuries, which commemorates Störtebeker, but to boost tourism, the idea of erecting a monument was also considered here. The then municipal director Helmut Plogstieß and his deputy inquired about the costs and possibilities of financing a monument. Mayor Knippelmeyer and the other local politicians contacted the sculptor Karl-Ludwig Böke from Leer and commissioned the production of a model. The sculpture was intended to resemble Daniel Hopfer's Störtebeker etching and radiate dynamism, power and activity. The model was the decisive factor in the Marienhafen municipal council, after thorough consideration of all financial risks, awarding the commission for the bronze statue to Karl-Ludwig Böke. The statue was cast in Elmenhorst near Hamburg. There were only a few critical voices at the moment, but neither were donations. On June 27, 1992, the monument was unveiled in a ceremony on the market square in Marienhafen. Mayor Knippelmeyer welcomed the sculptor Karl-Ludwig Böke, the foundryman Michel Wittkamp, numerous guests of honor and several hundred spectators. Choirs and a brass band provided the musical framework. The local and regional press and a television crew documented the scene. Even as a child, Karl-Ludwig Böke demonstrated his outstanding talent. At the age of 17, he was drafted into the last contingent of World War II and began an apprenticeship as a stonemason after completing his not-high school diploma. Since 1948 he worked as a "freelance artist" throughout his life in his hometown of Leer. In the 1960s he became nationally known for his abstract iron constructions and kinetic sculptors. The artist achieved unique mastery in portrait sculpture, especially his design of the eye inspires his bronzes and gives them grace and dignity. In the last decade of his life, he became known throughout East Frisia for a series of large sculptures. Karl Ludwig Böke died at the age of 69. His work is cared for by the Karl-Ludwig Böke Society and there is a museum in Leer named after the artist.
