The wooden figure of Heinrich Hoffmann v. Fallersleben stands on the Oste Deich next to a rest bench with a view of the Oste and the harbor. By Wiebke Kramp since 06.07.2021. After the author Heinrich Hoffmann v. Fallersleben, the Hoffmann-Von-Fallersleben-Straße was named. August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, author is a residential street, access street in Oberndorf. A visit is recommended and interesting at the same time 👍🏻.

The St. Andreas Geversdorf parish belongs to the Am Dobrock united parish and currently has approx. 450 members. The village of Geversdorf is located directly on the Oste river and is idyllically beautiful. The large bascule bridge over the river connects the parts of the village on both sides of the Oste. In the heart of the village, elevated on a "wurt" (raised ground), the church, visible from afar, shapes the entire village scenery. Among the special features of the church community is the work with children, including the "Kinderfrühstück" (children's breakfast). Outside of school holidays, it takes place on the 3rd Saturday of each month at 9:30 AM. The St. Andreas Geversdorf parish also has a lot to offer musically with its brass choir. Rehearsals currently take place every Monday at 6 PM in the community center at Ellhornstraße 2. All interested citizens are invited to participate. The church is beautiful to look at.

The "new" King's Fir is a silver fir, officially designated as the successor to the original King's Fir in 2006. It is about 80 years younger than its predecessor. The original King's Fir, a symbol of the municipality of Wingst and even part of its coat of arms, was planted in 1777 and fell victim to a storm in 1949. The new King's Fir is located about 600 meters south of the site of the original tree. With a height of around 38 meters and a trunk circumference of 3.9 meters, it is an impressive sight.
