It's not haven it's Hafen. Like port cux or cux habour.

>>53347761
Shit it's haven but I'm pretty sure it mean port in that dialect.

>>53347810
What does "cux" mean in german?
>>
>>53347994
It's a compliment used to refer to those who are exceptionally tolerant.

Can any of you guys tell me about two small towns called Lamstedt and Isensee.

I found Lamstedt it's coat of arms has what looks like a megalithic rock structure on it but there is nothing on Isensee

>>53348756
That's what it says on records m8, no clue what it is
>>
>>53348836
From what I've found so far it says it is near Luneberg, Cuxhaven

>Lamstedt
Tiny agglomeration of cucksheds, apparently it caught fire a lot hundreds of years ago. Lel.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamstedt#cite_note-4
>Isensee
just a handful of cuckshed, infact it's only a part of a tiny town and not even a real town
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osten_%28Oste%29
apparently the oldest transport bridge of Germany is there (not in Isensee, but 5m next to it by the other 5 houses)

Whats strange is that both have a subsection "tales and legends". Apparently that's normal around there or something.
