Hitzacker City Island

Highlight • Monument

The town island of Hitzacker is always worth a trip. Whether by bike or on foot.
There is so much to discover: colorful front doors, old facades, the view of the Jeetzel, the harbor and of course the Elbe.
I must not forget our Protestant church, St. Johannis, with the magnificent paintings that show the most diverse scenes from the Bible.

Julius Eberhard Arthur Karl Freiherr von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen (born March 10, 1906 in Döbeln, † 1977 on Gut Dötzingen near Hitzacker) was a German landowner and politician.
Julius von dem Bussche was the only son of the landowner, officer and bearer of the order Pour le Mérite Georg Freiherr von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen (1869–1923) and Gabriele Freiin von dem Bussche-Ippenburg (1877–1973). He studied agriculture at the Georg-August University in Göttingen. In 1925 he became a member of the Corps Saxonia Göttingen. Following his studies in Göttingen, he completed practical training in agriculture and forestry and studied three more semesters at the Eberswalde Forest Academy. In autumn 1929 he took over the management of his estate Dötzin near Hitzacker. In the Second World War he took part as a reserve officer, most recently as a captain of the reserve.
After the end of the war, von dem Bussche became particularly involved in local politics in his homeland. From 1949 to 1972 he was mayor of Hitzacker and from 1956 to 1968 district administrator of the Lüchow-Dannenberg district. He belonged to the German Party and later to the Free Democratic Party. In 1957, he stood as a candidate for the German Bundestag in the Bundestag constituency of Lüneburg - Dannenberg at number 26 on the Lower Saxony state list.
He was married to Anna-Elisabeth von Pfuel (1909-2005), sister of Curt-Christoph von Pfuel, and was the brother of Gosta von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen (1902-1996), mother of Claus von Amsberg, Prince Consort of the Dutch Queen Beatrix.
