Otterndorf is a small town in Land Hadeln in the Elbe-Weser triangle and is located on the western bank of the Elbe, just before its confluence with the North Sea coast.
background
The small seaside resort Otterndorf is only a few kilometers south of the mouth of the Elbe in the North Sea at the Kugelbake in Cuxhaven in the middle of the rural structure of the Land Hadeln, like the historical region in the eastern tip of the Elbe-Weser triangle was called - until today the name has been preserved in the name of the associated municipality. With the historic half-timbered old town and surrounded by the various water arms, the small town offers a suitable setting for relaxing holidays on and on the water: In addition to the Elbe estuary that dominates the area around the town, the Medem flows into the Elbe near Otterndorf, and the Hadelner Canal as part of the Elbe -Weser-Schiffahrtsweg offers a - today economically as good as unused - connection across the Elbe-Weser triangle to the Geeste, which in turn at Bremerhaven flows into the Weser.
history
The first written mention of Otterndorf comes from 1261. Otterndorf was the capital of the Land Hadeln. In 1400 it was granted city rights by its sovereign, Duke Erich IV of Saxony-Lauenburg. The first Latin school can be traced back to the 15th century. From 1778 to 1782 Johann Heinrich Voss was the principal of the Latin School. In 1521 the preacher Gerhard first proclaimed the new teaching of Martin Luther in Otterndorf. Between 1970 and 2016 Otterndorf went through several administrative reforms and mergers. Only the name, the coat of arms and the administrative headquarters in Otterndorf remain, and completely new structures have been created. Today the city is the administrative seat of the combined community of Land Hadeln, the largest community unit in the district of Cuxhaven with over 406 square kilometers.

In lectures on the history of the country, local history and on excursions, the Kranichhaus Society tries to bring interested guests and locals closer to the life of the past in the Hadelner Land. Special tours are offered for children. The crane house is considered to be one of the most important architectural monuments on the left of the Lower Elbe, which got its present appearance around 1760.

After the death of her husband, she successfully ran the spice, salt and wine trade in the Kranichhaus for over 40 years. She also gave the house its current name when she had the crane set up on the roof ridge. The oldest part of the crane house, the vestibule, dates from 1585; with its baroque facade it is based on the brick buildings in Hamburg. The very large warehouse (rear building) was added around 1735. Today the "Museum of the old country of Hadeln" is housed there, it shows life in the country, the living culture up to around 1850. Scenes and objects of the large-scale and bourgeois "representative life" are mainly exhibited.

Monuments and sculptures
- The bronze sculpture 14 De Utröper by Frijo Müller-Belecke shows the Utröper, the “crier”, who was employed in earlier times by city leaders to make news and decisions of the authorities known. In addition, the Otterndorf business people could rent the Utröper to advertise their new goods. The fishermen with fresh fish and crabs, also called “garnets” here, or traveling traders: everyone liked to ring the bell through the city.
- The 15 Dike monument at the pumping station, another bronze sculpture by Frijo Müller-Belecke, shows a group building a dike with a cart and pulling rope. The group at the original location gives a good impression of the hardship of building the dike in earlier times. The sculpture was set up in 1996 as a donation from the water and soil associations. In 2010 the front figure was sawed off just above the boots and stolen. In April 2012, the original condition was restored with a new cast.
- 16 Memorial for 14 children (Memorial for the deceased children of the forced laborers): In 1944/45 14 babies of Eastern European forced laborers were "killed" in a shed of the Otterndorf district hospital in Otterndorf. "The 'killing in a roundabout way was through targeted malnutrition, neglected hygiene, lack of medical care." The chairman of the association Future through remembering, Reinhard Krause, states that it was a dark chapter that nobody wanted to hear: “The graves of the 14 children in the Otterndorf cemetery were closed in 1968 and leveled. ... It was only 35 years later that Otterndorf made an attempt to publicly revive the memory. On Memorial Day 2003, after a long political struggle, a memorial stone was inaugurated in the cemetery with the inscription »In memory of all children who lost their lives through war and violence«. "The 14 children remained nameless. Only on May 8, 2009 was a brass -Memorial inaugurated with the names of the dead forced labor children: a sculpture by the artist Rachel Kohn - a dark cloud over a child's bed and below the plate with the 14 names.
Attractions on the water
The small 12 port on the Elbe is increasingly threatened by siltation due to the last deepening of the Elbe. The subsoil of the port and the entrance has changed since around 1999. Since the port is hardly used by fishermen any more, the Otterndorfer Seglervereinigung is responsible for the port as a sports boat port. Dredging the driveway to restore the state before 1999 would cost around 1 million euros. However, these funds are not borne by the state of Lower Saxony, nor by those responsible for the Elbe deepening in 1999, the Cuxhaven Waterways and Shipping Authority, or the so-called “Schlickfonds”, which was set up by the Hamburg economic authority and increased in 2007 by the Hanseatic city to 10 million euros.
Pumping station
The 17 Pumping station
Otterndorf was built in 1928. Before 1850, the entire land of Hadeln, as well as the office Bederkesa only drained by the river Medem. Especially the Hadler Sietland, which is below sea level, had major problems with the water in the rainy months. The drainage canal was built around 1853. Now the water flowed away faster, but since the Sietland was still the deepest point, the other, higher-lying areas had the advantage of rapid natural drainage.
Otterndorf beacon
The lighthouses in Otterndorf are also part of the lighting of the Elbe and the North Sea. In 1917 a beacon was lit for the first time near Otterndorf. In 1936 a new building was built, which was demolished in 1973 as part of the redesign of the leading light line. Today's so-called Leading light line consists of one 18 Otterndorf sub-fire, at the same time Unterfeuer Belum, a thin, red and white striped and 25 m high tower with an inverted conical roof. The 19 Oberfeuer Otterndorf is of the same design, but 52 m high and is 2,660 m away. Both lighthouses can be seen 18 nautical miles away.
Glameyer Stack
The 20 Glameyer Stack is a section of the dike on the Elbe (km 713) in the town of Otterndorf, Müggendorf district. It is seen as a neuralgic point in the dike line between Cuxhaven and Otterndorf. If there is a strong storm surge in the southern North Sea, this area is considered to be the area with the highest risk of a possible dike breach. The Glameyer Stack was completed in 1802 with a length of 200 m and is an important part of this bank protection. The name can be traced back to the owner of the adjacent land.
On the big bacon
The name 21 On the big bacon comes from the bank reinforcement. A fascine dam was built from bush and thatch to get dry feet to the landing stage for the ships (formerly flutes = flat-bottomed boats and ewer = gliders). The bank was "peppered". The wooden crane (5 m high, small corrugated wheel harbor crane (6.70 above the Medem), no step wheel crane, shaft with drive wheels on both sides under the roof, driven by two endless ropes, replica from the 2nd half of the 20th century; original from the Time around 1750, broken off in 1942) is still reminiscent of the busy handling of goods in the past. Today the weekly market takes place there every Friday. In addition, the excursion boats MS "Jens" and MS "Onkel Heinz" start their Medem cruises there.
Wrecks off Otterndorf
Many ships sank or stranded on the Elbe in front of Otterndorf in the last few centuries. One of these ships is the English steamer Kaffraria. He stranded on January 7, 1891 on the way to Hamburg near Otterndorf at the Glameyer Stack. His cargo consisted of glass and earthenware, household and kitchen utensils, children's toys, wool as well as tools of all kinds and domestic charcoal from Hull / England. The valuable cargo was unloaded quickly, partly legally, but also illegally, by the residents of the stranding site before the ship sank a little later in the Elbe.
In 1984 it was cleared on the instructions of the Cuxhaven Waterways and Shipping Office, as it was a danger to small ships. The stern section with the rudder blade and the screw was set up at the beach area “See aft Diek”. Information about wrecks, which were also exposed again by the last deepening of the Elbe and the associated mudflat removal before Otterndorf, is available in the wreck museum Cuxhaven described.
