There are many reasons to visit the popular holiday destination of Wesselburen. It’s located exactly on the spot where the Eider, Schleswig-Holstein’s longest river, flows into the sea. Begin your trip with a foray to the popular Eider Barrage, one of Europe’s largest coastal protection structures. For those who want more – why not discover the secrets of the sea on a mudflat hike in the Wadden Sea National Park?
Visit the tranquil town centre of Wesselburen. With 3,400 inhabitants, it is the heart of the Nordermarsch. The charming town is surrounded by 12 villages. Stroll down the historic town centre and discover hidden, delightful parts or the Hebbel Museum which is named after the famous German poet and dramatist Friedrich Hebbel who was born here in 1813. Many of his works such as Maria Magdalena, Judith or Die Nibelungen are performed in several theatres across Germany and Austria. Recently, the Hebbel-Rundwanderweg (Hebbel Trail) was named in his honour.
A stroll through Wesselburen with its relaxed flair takes you through winding lanes past historic houses and squares. Discover a wealth of minute details that become visible only when you look closer. Take any one of the eight lanes that converge like the tendrils of a star in the oval market square with its enchanting baroque church where you can grant yourself a few minutes of calm and inner reflection. The mighty tent-shaped roof with its conspicuous onion dome is visible from afar and often also serves as a point of orientation.
In the late 1890s, Wesselburen horticulturist Eduard Lass was busy experimenting with the cultivation and commercial production of cabbage. Cabbage from Dithmarschen has been popular ever since and Wesselburen is regarded as the cradle of cabbage cultivation. Discover the historical background and tales around cabbage at the Kohlosseum (wordplay with the German words for cabbage and coliseum) with its cabbage museum, coleslaw workshop and farmer’s market.
