Klein Scharrel: Geest island, moorland and Hof Kahle

Klein Scharrel combines its location on the Scharrelsberg Geest island with the Hof Kahle landscape garden, a memorial site and two bus routes. These topics answer different questions: What characterizes the landscape around the village, what are the garden’s features, and what connections are there to the places mentioned? The settlement’s history and a memorial event with a specific date also provide concrete points of reference. This lets you tailor the focus of your stay to the area’s features.

Landscape and settlement history

Klein Scharrel lies on the Scharrelsberg Geest island, which is surrounded by raised bog. Together, the Geest island and raised bog describe the village’s landscape setting. The settlement’s history dates back to the arrival of the first farmer in 1794. This early date provides a point of reference in the village’s history, while its location on Scharrelsberg describes the landscape around it. If you are interested in both the surroundings and the early settlement history when choosing a destination, you can consider these two aspects separately.

Hof Kahle landscape garden

The Hof Kahle landscape garden in Klein Scharrel is nestled in the moorland of the southern Ammerland region. Its features include a circular walking path with seating and a boules court. The circular path offers a route for a walk, while the boules court adds a different activity to the garden. Hof Kahle thus combines its landscape setting with a variety of garden features. This gives you a concrete point of reference: alongside its location in the moorland, the walking path, seating and boules also shape the garden’s character.

Memorial site in the village

A wreath-laying ceremony took place at 4:00 p.m. on November 16, 2025, at the war memorial in Klein Scharrel, on the corner of Dorfstraße and Scharreler Damm. The precise location places the memorial site within the village, while the date and time identify the specific occasion. If you are interested in local commemorative traditions, this dated point of reference complements the longer history of settlement with an event from the village’s more recent history.

Another point of reference on Scharrelsberg

A report from 2026 stated that a shelter was installed on Scharrelsberg in March as part of the Edewecht East village development project. It is one of nine shelters in the municipality. This places the specific site in a municipal context and adds a village development reference to the geographical description of Scharrelsberg.
