The chalk canal was formerly used to transport mining products to the Itzehoer Stör harbor. I believe that in earlier times, the barges were still towed by horses.

The Gut Springhoe is located in the SW of the municipality of Lockstedt on the former Lübschen Trade (trade route), on the mill pond which is flowed through by the Mühlenbarbeker Au. There used to be a water mill here, which was first mentioned in 1148 & was owned by the Itzehoe Monastery. Next to the mill, a manor farm also developed. Both were initially operated by the Itzehoe Monastery, but were leased out over the centuries: first the farm, then also the mill. Purchasers included various Holstein noble families such as: Ruhmor, Krummendieck, Sehestedt, Pogwisch. In 1899, the farm buildings & the mill burned down. All farm buildings except the mill were rebuilt in 1902. The mill pond was used for carp breeding. Today, the estate is a Trakehner & Lewitzer stud farm. https://www.gestuetspringhoe.de/ https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_Springhoe A small rest area right by the lake invites you to take a break. And if you're lucky like us, you might see an eagle circling over the mill pond. On the grounds of the manor house, there is a Liliencron monument (German lyricist) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detlev_von_Liliencron

Nice words aren't always true, and true words aren't always nice! A very wise saying, we've all probably experienced it before! 😇

"Noble Itzehoe Monastery The monastery courtyard, with its historic buildings from the 17th to 19th centuries, dates back to the Cistercian nunnery founded in 1230 by Count Adolf IV of Schauenburg in Ivenfleth (Borsfleth) at the mouth of the Stör River. It was relocated to Itzehoe in 1256 and from there developed into a manorial estate with property in 67 villages between Kiel and Dithmarschen. As a result of the Reformation, it was converted into a Protestant convent in 1541. In the Great Fire of 1657, the old cloistered buildings were destroyed, except for part of the Gothic cloister. With 12 nuns, headed by an abbess, the convent still exists today." [from information board]

Tip: Important for hikers: The monastery courtyard, with its green spaces and historic buildings, is an inviting and tranquil oasis in the center of Itzehoe on your city tour. Itzehoe Abbey itself dates back to a 13th-century Cistercian convent and was converted into a noble women's convent after the Reformation. Only parts of the medieval complex, including the cloister wing and gallery, have survived to this day.
