Piening Forge Metal Construction Sculptures, Seester

Highlight • Monument

Harald Piening, a farrier from Seester, has invested many hours of work and spent a lot of time welding countless old horseshoes together. The result is very special works of art that attract the attention of passers-by.
For over 40 years, the master blacksmith has been working iron in his workshop over the fire of his forge, which can reach temperatures of up to 1,400°C. He builds farm gates, ship accessories and rose arches and shoes the hooves of sport and leisure horses with new horseshoes. And Piening always finds time for artistic sculptures such as spider webs or a blacksmith with hammer and anvil.

Lüders Inn and Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

As early as 1864, old documents mentioned Hinrich Thormählen, who ran an inn right next to the Seesteraner church with an attached “Hökerei”, a shop for groceries and everyday items. His son Johannes finally handed the business over to Heinrich “Hein” Lüders, who came from Steindeich (Kollmar), in 1903. The inn also had a large, two-story hall building on the opposite side of the street.
Due to its location right next to the church, the Lüder'sche Inn was often used for funeral ceremonies. But the house was also well attended before and after the Sunday services. Because the footpaths were often undeveloped at the time, it was customary for the villagers to exchange their dirty shoes for shoes they had brought with them that had been polished to a high shine before going to church and to put on their everyday shoes again for the way back. The inn was exactly the right place for this, as it also offered a fortifying grog in winter and a cold beer in summer. But family celebrations, singing balls, school festivals and the monthly meetings of the local council also took place near Lüders for a long time and the village's volunteer fire department was founded here in 1912. After the Second World War, Erna Thies and her husband Wilhelm took over the business from her mother Regine Lüders, but after 1960 they concentrated on hawking, while the restaurant lost its importance and the hall building fell into disrepair. In 1971, the Seester parish decided to purchase the restaurant and hall, first renovating the restaurant and later also the hall building. The old restaurant was initially converted into a children's playroom and church office and later expanded into a kindergarten. The hall is still available for church and private celebrations and events. (Source: Shield)

St. Johannes Church Seester

Highlight • Religious Site

The Evangelical Lutheran St. John's Church in Seester, Schleswig-Holstein, is a patron church of the Uetersen Monastery. St. Johannes only became Protestant in 1555 because the Uetersen monastery had refused to follow the Danish king's order for the Reformation until then. (Source: Wikipedia)

Kurzenmoor Lock

Highlight • Monument

The Kurzenmoor lock was mentioned in records as early as 1702 as the “Kortenmohr Schlüse” or “Neue Schleuse” and was located north-east of today's pumping station on the Seesterau dike. The name did not refer to the location of the lock, but rather to the area to be drained and thus to the name of the so-called “Schleusencommüne”, whose legal successor today is the Sielverband.
In 1764 the lock was called the “Stone Lock”. The sluice was already made of clinker bricks at that time.
Due to the construction and commissioning of the new steam pumping station in 1895, the nearby "Wischer Schleuse" lost its function and was closed. The Kurzenmoorer Schleuse, on the other hand, was enlarged again with a massive clinker brick building and made deeper in order to be able to continue to perform its function. The Wisch-Kurzenmoor lock community emerged from the Wisch and Kurzenmoor lock communities.
Unfortunately, the performance of the steam pumping station did not meet the high expectations. Even the replacement of the steam engine with a powerful diesel engine in the 1920s could not change this. In 1955/56 a new pumping station was built right next to the steam pumping station, the buildings of which have been preserved to this day. The lock was shut down in 1965 after the new Kurzenmoor pumping station* was completed. (Source: Shield)
