Kaiser Wilhelm Oak

Highlight • Natural Monument

In any case, it was customary in imperial times to plant an oak tree in honor or memory of an emperor. Perhaps this tree was planted in 1897 on the 100th birthday of Kaiser Wilhelm I. That would fit the timing. But it could also be that the honor was intended for Kaiser Wilhelm II, one of his successors. He is said to have planned to pay a visit to Scharmbeck on his journey from Bremen to Bremerhaven. However, there was a delay on the way, so the flying visit to Scharmbeck had to be cancelled.

Fire Hose Drying Tower Scharmbeck

Highlight • Monument

The village of Scharmbeck is one of the first places in the Osterholz district where a volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1895, as it still exists today. All members receive uniforms and basic equipment including helmets, neck leather, climbing belts and signal horns, and two new fire engines are purchased.

As more and more hoses are used, the problem of maintaining them arises. The hoses are made of hemp at the time and must be kept absolutely dry to avoid mold. How should you do that? Where should you put up such high scaffolding? The solution is this tower, which was added to the fire station in 1926. The elaborate copper hood shows that it is not a purely functional building, but rather is intended to be an eye-catcher for the market square.

St. Willehadi Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The 900-year-old church tower with stone walls up to one and a half meters thick is the oldest part of the building that has been preserved. The spire, however, was rebuilt after a fire in the 19th century. There were several previous buildings in the course of history, including a first wooden church (built around 850). It was dedicated to Saint Willehad, the first bishop in Bremen. The first stone church with the church tower that still exists today was built in the 13th century.
