Edendorf Clay Pit

Highlight • Lake

The Edendorfer Tonkuhle in the Edendorf district of Itzehoe is a residual open pit lake. Since there are several clay pits in Edendorf, it is also referred to as the large Edendorfer clay pit to distinguish it from the smaller ones.

After clay was quarried at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, the pit filled with water and was later turned into a green area. [1] Today the water is also used as fishing water.

Bismarck Tower Itzehoe

Highlight • Monument

The Bismarck Column of Itzehoe, also known as the Bismarck Tower, stands in the Steinburg district of Schleswig-Holstein. It is one of the monuments erected in honor of Otto von Bismarck and one of the eight Bismarck Towers in Schleswig-Holstein.

The Bismarck Column is one of Itzehoe's landmarks and, as a cultural monument, stands 18 meters high as an observation tower in the Lübsches Gehölz (city forest) on a Bronze Age burial mound built on the crest of a glacial terminal moraine (76 meters above sea level).

After Bismarck's death in 1898, there was a broad movement in the German Empire to erect monuments to the former Chancellor. In Itzehoe, too, a group of Bismarck supporters suggested building a Bismarck Tower in the city in 1899.

``` According to an idea of the student body, a network of so-called fire pillars should be built throughout Germany in order to light large fire bowls on them on certain days in honor of Bismarck.

Stormsteich Pond

Highlight • Lake

A fairly large pond that used to be used intensively for fishing. Since 1990 it has been converted back to the biotope. That seems to be working well. A bench (brand new and clean) invites you to linger in the shade, while you can watch the water birds drifting.
