The Paulus Church is a so-called "Findorff Church" and was built by the royal Hanoverian Moor Commissioner Jürgen-Christian in 1790. https://www.nordwaerts.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten-museen/poi/paulus-kirche-gnarrenburg-100051063/

St. Paul's Church in Gnarrenburg, also known as Findorff Church, was built between 1784 and 1790. The plan for the construction of the church was drawn up by Jürgen Christian Findorff, a royal moor commissioner who was responsible for the colonization of the Teufelsmoor region. The church is an elongated octagonal central building made of brick and was originally consecrated without a tower. The tower, which was added in 1866, stands on the long side of the nave. The interior of the church is transversely oriented, with galleries on three sides. A pulpit altar in early classicist forms and an organ by Georg Wilhelm Wilhelmy from 1795 are notable features. The church originally held up to 1,200 people, which was sufficient at the time for the moor colonists and the population of the surrounding villages.

Nice to drive, good surface. If the sheep fences are open, you can also use the concrete slab path behind the dyke. Driving from north to south there is almost no right-before-left, which is very pleasant.

Deelbrügge water mill The Deelbrügge watermill, located on the Lune and the L134 road between Beverstedt and Stubben, was first mentioned in 1497 in the so-called “Vörder Register” by the then Archbishop Johann Rohde from Bremen. She belonged e.g. d. Currently, like the neighboring farm, the castle men of Altluneberg. In 1927, the Deelbrügge farm with the water mill was bought by the Bremen merchant Reinhard Schmidt. The mill was then sold in 1991 by the grandson Lüke Schmidt and his wife Gertrud to the Beverstedt community for the symbolic price of one DM. After several new buildings and renovations, the current mill dates back to 1850 and was completely and successfully renovated by the Beverstedt municipality from 1991 to 1995. Until 1936 it was powered by a wooden water wheel, the design of which is almost identical to the current wheel.

The mill, a two-story gallery mill, was built in 1850. The new mill received two grinding gears and a bag box for the production of wheat flour. In 1896, the mill was largely destroyed by fire, but was subsequently rebuilt in a more modern style. Later, a diesel engine provided the drive when there was no wind. In 1923, the mill was connected to the electricity grid. The mill was powered by wind power until 1977. Today, the Aschwarden mill is owned by the Rönner family, who run an agricultural contracting business here. The listed mill was restored in 1962 and 1980 with the help of the district. The last renovation in 2004 was carried out with public and private financial support from the mill association.

Have you ever ridden from wave to wave? 😄 Waves (Cuxhaven) - waves (Börde) can be done in one day if the conditions are good. The tour to Wellen (Edertal) is a little longer. And more altitude. ☝️😀 Have fun!😎🚲

As can be seen in my photos, the harbor does not always have enough water, but the resting places always offer the opportunity for a little break
