This generous funding is a significant step for the preservation of historical building fabric on the west coast.

a look into the past

The Mars Skipper Hof, which was built in 1802, has a long and significant story. The threw on which the Haubarg stands has been populated since the 10th century. The name "Mars Skipper" is Low German and is reminiscent of the marching shipping, who once removed agricultural goods from the courtyards and brought agricultural goods to the ports. The funding from different sources should help to preserve this historical building for the coming generations.

The restoration of the St. Bartholomäus Church in Wesselburen is of great importance, since the approximately 54-meter-high tower plays a central role in the cityscape. The promotion by the Federal Government enables the necessary renovation work to be carried out and the cultural heritage.

The restoration of these important buildings not only maintains your structural integrity, but also strengthens its cultural importance for the community. The funding is proof of the commitment of the federal government and various foundations for monument protection in Schleswig-Holstein.
