St. Mary's Church, Heiligenstedten

Highlight • Religious Site

A church existed in Heiligenstedten already since the 9th century as one of the oldest church foundations north of the Elbe. It was probably related to the castle Esesfeld, also built in the 9th century. The present church building dates from the end of the 13th century; It received its present appearance by renovations in 1580. In 1826, the church, which had previously been on a Wurt in the outer dike, diked. Even today the church is a few steps lower than the entrance.

Stör Barrier

Highlight • Structure

The sturgeon is a tidal area.
Against flooding of the adjacent areas in storm surges in the early 70s, the barrage was built on the dry at the fault mouth, re-routed the river after its completion and dimmed the original Störlauf.
The disturbance hole is thus the remnant of the natural course of the sturgeon.
Here was a very idyllic natural harbor before Ivenfleth, in which the SSV Borsfleth has created berths.
The bridge should be 24 hours down, I had to wait 1 hour.
