It's not that small, the harbor, as the title of the highlight might suggest...

Unfortunately, the tower cannot be climbed. As it is located in the middle of the city center, the crowds would probably also be too high... 😉

🏛️ Neocorus Monument Büsum „Neocorus“ in Büsum does not mean a building, but a historical figure and a monument in the town. Johann Adolf Köster (approx. 1550–1630) Pastor in Büsum Important chronicler of Dithmarschen Wrote an early history of the region („Chronik des Landes Dithmarschen“) So he is something like the first great historian of the area.

The Museum Harbor is located directly on the old harbor basin – small, but atmospheric. Historic working and sailing ships are moored here, showing what coastal shipping and fishing looked like in the past. You can see there Old crabbers and sailing ships made of wood and steel Winches, nets, masts, rigging Ships maintained by volunteers, often accessible during events Harbor backdrop with real patina instead of tourist gloss

New commercial spaces in the style of old offices have been built in the town center of Büsum, near the fishing harbor. A great development!
