On the way to find a Megalith in Hemmingstedt, I stopped by and asked an elderly lady.
'Are you from Hemmingstedt ?'
'Yes' she smiled at me.
'You got any remains from the stone age here in Hemmingstedt ?'
'Oh yes !!' she said ' and soooo beautiful !!'
'Oh realy ?'
I was happy. Finaly a hint.
'Can you tell me how to find it?'
Happily she described the way to the stone age thing and repeated 'Oh and its sooo nice !!' some more time.
I grinned at her 'Then ill go now to look at it. Thank you so much !'
When a came nearer to the 'item' I asked some other people for the 'thing from the stone age' and they also happily pointed the way.
When I arrived, the shock was awful. A monument of eternal uglyness.
This must have been the number one in the 'but-ugliest monument of all times' contest.
The 'thing' was errected in the year 1900.
It celebrates a battle from 1500, where the local 'Dithmarscher' fought succesfull the danish king and its allies.
'Dusendduevelswarf' means 'The Hill of the Thousand Devils' which could also mean the 1000 pains you get looking at it.
