Rare in Northern Germany: a cabin enclosed on three sides. Clean and well-maintained.

Once a fen, the landscape today was shaped by peat extraction. After the peat was removed, the extraction pits filled with water again and either silted up or became wet meadows. Some areas are cultivated. Overall, a beautiful, expansive landscape has developed here.

The church, as is so often the case, is not the first church building on this site. Oldenburg/Holstein was an important location more than 1,000 years ago – first for the Slavs, then for the Christians. The current church dates back to the 12th century; Bishop Vicelin (later canonized) initiated its construction, and Oldenburg/Holstein became a significant episcopal see. In the 18th century, a fire destroyed much of the church's interior. The church was rebuilt. Since 1778, the church has been adorned with a spire, unusual for North German churches. It was designed by the court architect Georg Greggenhof, a master of the late Baroque period.

The Oldenburg Wall is an important archaeological monument that once surrounded a castle and is the origin of the city of Oldenburg. On the museum circuit around a small lake landscape, we immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of a Slavic fishing village. Small clay huts with different furniture and residential purposes are lined up next to each other and give an idea of what life might have been like in the 9th century. I would have liked to have seen signs along the way to better classify the time and history. Amateur historians regularly enliven the area with demonstrations. Today, for example, we were shown how chain mail is made. We stop at the "Zweizack" restaurant for lunch and can only recommend it. A small section of the museum is housed in one of the larger houses.
