Open-air museum showcasing the rural life in the Vierlanden before the industrial revolution. The premises was an active farm operated by the Rieck family up until WWII. There are still farm animals there, and several hands-on experiences for visitors such as milking cows.

Windmill built in 1828, though the first windmill at this place was already built in 1318. It has a shop and café, and in the nearby former warehouse there's an interesting shop with local art.

Farm open to visitors with a café, shop, and four cottages.

Built in 1870, this windmill is next to the Reitbrooker Mühlenbrücke ("mill bridge"). This is a so-called "Galerieholländer" windmill; a square two-story stone building with a wooden octagon building on the top. It was used until as a windmill 1938 or 1939, and became a protected building in 1942. It still functions as a mill, albeit not a wind powered one. When the fodder shop is open, you can also see the mill from the inside.

The biggest church in the Vierlande region. First built as a stone church in 1319, and thoroughly renovated in the late 18th century.

After an earlier church, presumably made of rocks, was destroyed by flooding, this timber-framed one was built in 1599-1603. It is an open church and as such can generally be visited anytime (during daytime).

First mentioned in documents from 1247, this is the oldest of the village churches in the Vierlande.

The oldest major church in Hamburg, mentioned in documents from 1261. It has been remodeled and expanded several times, though part of the walls are still from the 13th century. The wooden 26.2-m-high church tower was constructed in 1630.

This 17th-century church features carvings depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments, and an organ by the famous organ builder Arp Schnitger.

The Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg has many smaller concerts — something almost every day — and is much cheaper than the Laeiszhalle. The programs range from the curator of their early keyboard instrument collection playing them and giving a spiel on the music and the instruments (in German only!) to formal concerts of renditions of Schubert's Die Winterreise. Pick up a schedule at the desk of the museum (down the street from Hamburg Hauptbahnhof).

The biggest German speech theatre looks back on a famous tradition. Gustav Gründgens, Ivan Nagel, and Peter Zadek staged highlights in German theatre history here.
