Location of the municipality of Seestermühe in the Pinneberg district

Seestermühe ( Low German : Seestermüh ) is a municipality in the Pinneberg district in Schleswig-Holstein .

Geography and traffic

The community is located directly on the Elbe between the Krückau and Pinnau rivers in the middle of the Seestermüher Marsch , one of the four Elbe marshes . The uninhabited Elbe island Pagensand also belongs to the municipality . Neighboring communities directly adjacent are Neuendeich and Seester , the next larger cities Elmshorn and Uetersen .

history

Seestermühe was first mentioned in a document in 1141 and originally belonged to the diocese of Bremen, which from 1105 settled Dutch immigrants who were supposed to promote the cultivation of the flooded land. The name of the community is derived from today's river “Krückau”, which is composed of the former river name “Seester” and the old German name “muthe” for mouth, so Seestermühe is the place at the mouth of the Seester . One church was destroyed by a storm surge in 1357 and never rebuilt; In the name of the church, the Haseldorfer landowners determine what is happening in today's municipality and the parish was added to the Seester parish . Before 1550, the Haseldorf estate was divided and Seestermühe became an independent estate district. A mansion was built. After the moat had been dug on today's Schulstrasse, construction of the Seestermüher Castle began around 1700 and the lime tree avenue that still exists today was laid out. Whether there was a French-style garden at that time cannot be clearly established to this day. The not yet completed castle burned to the ground in 1713. In 1752 the von Ahlefeldt family's estate was heavily in debt and was sold to the Count von Kielmansegg - only the Elbe island of Pagensand was awarded to the Danish crown and later sold to private customers. It was not until 1899 that the Seestermüher estate was abolished, two years later the Pagensand island was sold to the city of Hamburg and incorporated into Seestermühe in 1928.

tourism

Village museum "Göpelschauer"

Like most communities in the Elbmarschen, Seestermühe is a popular destination for day-trippers and cyclists, especially in the summer months. The vastness of the outer dike area between the two dike lines along the Elbe is ideal for hikers, inline skaters and cyclists. Sights of the community include a double avenue of lime trees around 700 meters between the estate and the tea house of the von Kielmansegg family , the village museum " Göpelschauer " with its historical equipment and tools from the fields of agriculture, fishing and handicrafts, and the former charity from 1830 (now houses a kindergarten and apartments). With the nature reserve " Eschschallen in Seestermüher Vorland ", Seestermühe has a unique reserve for rare plants and animals, but is not allowed to be entered to protect them.
