Stollhamm

Stollhamm brings together the birdlife of the Stollhammer Wisch, the Bahndamm adventure trail and the history of the Butjenter Hörstuhl route. St. Nikolai Church in Butjadingen offers another cultural and historical perspective. Nature, a longer route and various aspects of regional history thus provide different interests to consider when planning your trip.

The Bahndamm adventure trail through Stollhamm

The 14-kilometre Bahndamm adventure trail starts at the Mitteldeich, passes through Stollhamm and Abbehausen, and ends at the railway station in Nordenham. Its length is a concrete measure to consider if you want to make the trail the main focus of your day. Stollhamm lies along the route between its starting point and destination, giving the trail a clearly defined place alongside the town’s nature and cultural themes. If you prefer to plan your trip around a route rather than a seasonal nature theme, you can take this difference into account when choosing the focus of your stay.

Birdlife of the Stollhammer Wisch

The Stollhammer Wisch is one of the most bird-rich areas in the Wesermarsch. Lapwings, black-tailed godwits and redshank regularly nest there in spring. The time of year is important when planning your trip: if you want to focus on these breeding birds, spring takes centre stage. While the Bahndamm adventure trail is defined by its length and route, the Wisch’s nature theme is shaped by its seasonal birdlife. The species mentioned provide a specific focus for this interest.

The Hörstuhl and former river courses

A third Hörstuhl in Stollhamm was added to the Butjenter Hörstuhl route in 2010. The Hörstuhl “Der Eimer” stands on Georg-Coldewey-Pad, at a place where the Ahne, Heete and Hayenschloot rivers once flowed. Here, the history of the Hörstuhl route and the former river landscape come together at a named location. The two time references remain distinct: 2010 marks the route’s expansion, while the river courses belong to the past. For anyone interested in culture, this offers a specific way to discover a local Hörstuhl and the landscape history associated with its location.

Church architecture and art in Butjadingen

St. Nikolai Church in Butjadingen offers another perspective on architectural history and sacred art. Its walls incorporate parts of the first church, built in the mid-15th century. Inside, above the pulpit altar, is a painting of Christ created by Theodor Köppen in 1896. Guided tours of the church are available on request; if you would like a tour, ask in advance. The church thus combines an architectural landmark dating from the 15th century with a work of art from the late 19th century whose date is known.

Choose the right focus

The Stollhammer Wisch connects an interest in nature with spring and specific breeding birds; the Bahndamm adventure trail offers a 14-kilometre route through several named places; and the Hörstuhl “Der Eimer” links a cultural and historical route with former river courses. The church in Butjadingen adds architectural history and art to the picture. These different points of interest can help you decide whether Stollhamm is the right destination for you and then search for accommodation that suits your plans.
