Wesselburen, Small urban municipality in Dithmarschen, Germany.
Wesselburen extends over 5.14 square kilometers of land near the North Sea coast, featuring winding lanes and traditional houses around a central baroque church.
The town gained recognition as the birthplace of German poet Friedrich Hebbel in 1813, who later created significant works including Maria Magdalena and Die Nibelungen.
The Hebbel Museum presents exhibits about the celebrated German dramatist, while the Kohlosseum documents the regional history of cabbage cultivation in Dithmarschen.
Visitors reach Wesselburen via the A23 autobahn connecting to federal highway B203, with train services linking the town to neighboring municipalities.
