St.-Jürgen-Kapelle
St. Jürgen's Chapel in Itzehoe is a church building that is now one of the city's cultural monuments.
The chapel was built in the Middle Ages as the hospital church of the St. Jürgen Hospital or St. George Hospital, which was located on the then northeastern edge of the city and served as a leper asylum (leprosorium). The first documentary mention of the hospital dates back to 1303 and that of the chapel to 1462, but the date of foundation of both institutions is not known. According to data from the Society for Leprosy Studies, the hospital was first mentioned in 1240. In the mid-17th century, the chapel burned down during the Danish-Swedish War; the present building was erected in 1661.

Kammer von Warringholz
The chamber of Warringholz district of Steinburg in Schleswig-Holstein, originated between 3600 and 3200 BC as a megalithic site of the Funnel Beaker Culture. The rectangular stone chamber is an enlarged dolmen with originally four supporting stones and four capstones and had been built on a sandy knoll about half a meter high, visible from afar from the adjacent lowland. Its interior measured 3.5 meters in length and 1.2 meters in width. As post-burials of a later period, burials of the single grave culture were found in the chamber.
In the Early Nordic Bronze Age, a tree sarcophagus burial was made next to the dolmen, which subsequently led to a mounding of the entire ensemble with a height of 1.2 meters and a diameter of 25.0 meters. In the eastern part of this burial mound, two urn burials had been additionally inserted in the period V of the Nordic Bronze Age.
Since the farmer wanted to have his field free, the installation was moved on the initiative of Günther Haseloff (1912-1990), who led the scientific investigation in Warringholz in 1938, and set up for display at the Galgenberg in Itzehoe. The arrangement of the stones is based on the original.
