Tips from the Community
The name of Saint CHRISTOPHERUS, to whom this church in Oese is dedicated, translates to "Christ-bearer". According to the traditional legend of the saints, he was a giant-like man and carried people across a river. One day a small child called him, and he carried it on his shoulders to the other bank. Surprisingly, the child became heavier and heavier for him, and he said he felt as if the weight of the whole world was resting on his shoulders. Then the child revealed itself to him as Jesus Christ, the savior and redeemer of the world.

New weather station, currently even with a collector's stone. Three benches with a table are available, but the mountain is quite a sight for northern Germany. :-)

Take a break with a beautiful view of the floodplain. Or simply relax, breathe deeply, and enjoy the silence.

Whether in spring, summer, autumn or at Christmas time, there are many shelter and seating options on site. And with luck, you can watch a pair of storks breeding (March-August)

Revitalization of the Billerbeck Development goal The Billerbeck and the adjacent floodplain areas should develop into a natural habitat that is valuable for flora and fauna and typical of the natural area. The model for the stream is a natural and structurally rich Geest stream that can develop dynamically after its creation (taking water management concerns into account). The stream: The Billerbeck is an originally gravel-filled lowland stream and a tributary of the Lune with a length of around 11 km and a catchment area of around 41.33 km². Before the compensation measures were carried out, the Billerbeck was a straightened, deepened body of water that mainly ran in a standard profile and therefore had little structural diversity and hardly any plant growth in the water. The following measures were used to initially create the natural and diverse structure: -> relocation of the course of the water in a meander and creation of diverse water cross-sections > installation of gravel in sections as a natural bed substrate > installation of dead wood, base sills and flow guides to raise the bed and increase structural diversity > construction of sand traps to reduce harmful sand deposits in the stream > natural redesign of the Stubbengraben and Oldendorfer Bach tributaries. The floodplain area: In the floodplain area on both sides of the Billerbeck, a mosaic of different habitats is planned, each characterized by a high degree of moisture and low intensity of use or no use at all. The following habitat types are to be developed: mesophilic grassland, wet and wet grassland, moist to wet woodland, fallow land, reed beds and temporary and permanent still waters. As part of the construction work, still waters and clearings with different depths and woody plantings were created. Extensive use is also intended to create species-rich grassland habitats. In addition, fallow areas are planned that can develop without any use at all. The design and implementation plan for the measures was drawn up by the engineering group agwa GmbH from Hanover. The structural implementation was carried out by ARGE CSK Schlichtmann Kulturbau GmbH / Georg Grube GmbH, which also took care of the construction of these signs and the forest sofa.

Beverstedtermühlen watermill The Beverstedtermühlen watermill was built around 1850; its history, however, goes back to the Middle Ages. The mill belonged to the noble residence of the Lords of Beverstede, later to the Archbishop of Bremen's Beverstedtermühlen estate. It was located on the trade and postal route from Hagen to Bremervörde, which crossed the Lune here through a ford. This is probably where the town of Beverstedt originated. The milling operation was abandoned around 1950; in the 1970s the Lune was straightened and the mill pond filled in. The building fell into ruin until private initiative restored it to its original form. Today it houses a gallery for fine art with changing exhibitions.
