Facts and practical information

St. Nicolai Church in the Altenbruch district of Cuxhaven belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church and is one of the farm domes in the Hadeln region. It stands on a flat land elevation, a Wurth, so that it usually remained dry during floods and offered refuge to the people living in the surrounding area. This land elevation was enclosed by a ditch. The present meadow around the church was the cemetery in former times. The recovered grave slabs are preserved from weathering and exhibited in the church.
