This altar from 1650, entirely carved from oak, is unique in Germany. The baptismal font is a late Baroque work, made of stone at the bottom and wood at the top.
- 3 Maria sea star (Cath.), Bojestrasse 36, 25541 Brunsbüttel. The Maria Meeresstern Church was built as a hall church in the typical red brick. It was inaugurated on August 17, 1930. After the Second World War, the number of Catholics increased considerably due to the influx of many displaced persons and refugees. Instead of a tower, a pyramid-shaped roof turret was put on. The church has eleven pointed arch windows on the long sides depicting scenes from the life of Mary. The windows were created during the last church renovation in 1979. A small pipe organ with five registers has been installed in the church since 1995.
