Beautiful, well-kept church! ⚓️

Nature lovers enjoy a nature tour or a hike through the forest and heath. The Husum poet Theodor Storm also appreciated these.

The little church by the sea in Schobüll, a district of Husum, is an impressive early Gothic brick church from the 13th century. This church is not only known for its historic architecture, but also for its beautiful location directly on the North Sea coast. The church, also known as “ecclesiola sub mare”, has a rich interior. Particularly noteworthy are the apostle frieze, which depicts the 12 apostles as well as John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene, and the octagonal baptismal font from the 15th century. The Régence-style pulpit from 1735, carved by Jens Süncksen, is also a highlight of the church. Another interesting detail is the 17th century towel rack, which shows the baptism of Christ. The church is surrounded by an idyllic cemetery, which invites you to linger and offers a picturesque view of the North Sea.

The fire hydrant became a symbol through the design of the memorial. Its remains represent the arbitrariness with which SS men and some Kapos beat and tortured the concentration camp prisoners. They used the fire hydrant to mistreat the prisoners: the men were tied to the metal column while soaking wet or had to sit on the cover of the fire hydrant (which is now missing) and remain there. The concentration camp prisoners were subjected to numerous other forms of harassment and punishment.

How much indescribable suffering was inflicted on people here by "people"! One stands in shock in the memorial in front of the remains of this cruel place! Never must something like this happen again. Nip it in the bud, today more than ever!

With completely inadequate supplies and accommodation, the Schwesingen prisoners had to carry out the hardest work in the cold and wet. The subcamp was led by Hans Hermann Griem, an SS lieutenant known for his cruelty, who also commanded the camp in Ladelund. The SS dissolved the camp in Schwesing in December 1944. Due to the inhumane conditions and as a result of mistreatment, more than 300 concentration camp prisoners died here. These dead were buried in mass graves in the Husum Ostfriedhof. For decades, the grave complex inaugurated there in 1957 was the only memorial commemorating the victims of the concentration camp subcamp. https://gedenkstaetten-sh.de/gedenkstaetten/kz-gedenkstaette-husum-schwesing-8
