A23 Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A bridge is always good, the width is even enough for a trailer. But be careful when descending towards the southwest: the curbs are high and there is only a mini drop on the corner.

Due to the scarce financial resources, the requirements were a comparatively simple building, which should nevertheless be carried out solidly. The Hamburg-based master builders Faulwasser, Lorenzen, Groothoff and Stehn submitted their plans to the relevant tender. The architect Hugo Groothoff was commissioned to build a church based on his church, which was built in Brokstedt in 1899, and to use the example of the Fuhlsbüttel church to orientate the tower. The church is part of a series of very similar buildings that Groothoff built as rural churches, primarily in the area around Itzehoe and in Stormarn.

The church in Eidelstedt received a cross-shaped floor plan with a porch under the tower and a sacristy attached to the choir room. The main room with its nave and transept was planned for 300 seats and the possibility of installing additional galleries. The western end of the interior was classic with a gallery for choir and organ. The church was built in a contemporary Gothic style using bricks and sand-lime brick. For reasons of economy, decorative elements such as shaped stones or glazed bricks were used only very cautiously. For the same reason, with the exception of the choir, the brick vaults typical of the time were dispensed with in the interior and contented with a simple, slightly decorated wooden ceiling. This wooden ceiling was not carried out completely horizontally, however, but was adapted in the lower part to the course of the rafters in order to get a horizontal finish only at a greater height. This makes the interior higher and more hall-like. The first roof had a slate roof.

The church was inaugurated on September 16, 1906.

Stellingen Autobahn Tunnel Deck Park

Highlight • Structure

Here we drove along the roof of the Stellingen motorway tunnel on a test ride for the ADFC tour, which takes place on July 12, 2025.
Afterwards, we drove through a tunnel that existed before the Elbe Tunnel was built and that I've known since my childhood.
