history

The Gömnitzer Tower on the Gömnitzer Berg

Side view of the St. Laurentius Church in Süsel (from the southeast)

On Süseler See is the Süseler ski jump , the rest of a Slavic hill fort . Until the 12th century, Süsel was one of the main places of the Wends resident here . The damp lowlands were colonized by recruited Frisian farmers from 1142 onwards .

The Romanesque St. Laurentius Church was also built in the 12th century as part of the missionary work, it belongs to the so-called Vicelinkirchen , others can be found in Bornhöved , Bosau and Ratekau .

The Gömnitzer Tower shows the proximity to the Baltic Sea , a few kilometers away . Until 1815 there was a large tree called the Major on the Gömnitzer Berg . This solitaire served as an orientation mark for shipping in the Bay of Lübeck . The tree was struck by lightning and burned down. Since the seafarers lacked an important point of orientation, the new major , a brick tower , was built in 1827-28 . The top of the tower is 105.8 meters above sea level, the tower was restored in 1990 and 2010 and is open to the public.
