Former Büchen Harbor Basin
Highlight • Structure
My guess is that the port dates from the time when large gravel and sand pits were active in this area. Because whole shiploads were then transported through the canal e.g. promoted to Hamburg.
Unfortunately, nothing can be found on the Internet 🙁

Büchen Community Center
Highlight • Rest Area
Historical photos from the fifteen municipalities in the Büchen district are exhibited on all floors of the Büchen community center. These are currently being gradually replaced to give citizens new insights into the history of the municipalities during their visits to the administration. The photos of the Büchen and Schulendorf municipalities have already been replaced.
More treasures are surely slumbering in many an attic and in old boxes: The Büchen district is therefore still looking for historical photos from the municipalities in the Büchen district for its archives and for publications.
The photos can be scanned, and the originals can be returned to the owners. The contact person at the Büchen municipality is Dr. Heinz Bohlmann, by phone at +49 4155 8009-215 or by email at H.Bohlmann@gemeinde-buechen.de.

Sundial by Siegfried W. Balk, Büchen
Highlight • Monument
A sundial shows the time of day based on the position of the sun in the sky. The line-shaped sun shadow of a stick usually serves as the pointer. The shadow rotates around the attachment point of the stick on the dial scaled by day hours during the day. The variety of sundials is based primarily on the different shape and orientation of the dial. The most common variant is the vertical sundial with a flat dial, often on a building wall.
Sundials have been in use since ancient times and were mostly used to refer to clocks at the beginning of the 19th century. Until the beginning of the 20th century, they still served to limit the display of the noon hour (so-called noon sign) for adjusting the still inaccurate mechanical clocks.
Today, they often only represent jewelry on buildings, in gardens and in parks. Modern sundials in a relatively elaborate design - for example with a Bernhardtsch roller or the Helios sundial - are able to even open the "official" time in all seasons display the minute exactly, for example the CET or the CEST.
On some sundials, the length of the staff shadow is also used to give an approximate indication of the calendar date: on a vertical sundial, the shadow is long in spring and summer and short in autumn and winter.
