Historic Weserbergland

"Traces of Time - Experience it for real." in the historic Weserbergland region

The historic Weser Uplands are a region straight out of a picture book: Between rolling hills, green river valleys, and ancient trade routes, a fascinating cultural landscape full of stories unfolds. A total of 16 towns and 11 historical sites have been awarded the quality label “Historic Weserbergland” joined forces – and invite you on a journey into the past.

The historic towns include Bad Münder, Bad Pyrmont, Bodenwerder, Bückeburg, Dassel, Einbeck, Hameln, Hann. Münden, Hessisch Oldendorf, Holzminden, Höxter, Lügde, Rinteln, Stadthagen, Stadtoldendorf, and Uslar. Each of these places has its own unique charm and tells fascinating stories – from medieval town foundations to magnificent half-timbered houses and famous figures who have left their mark.

This historical network is complemented by eleven important sites of cultural history: the Lippoldsberg Monastery Church, Pyrmont Castle, Hämelschenburg Castle, Bückeburg Castle, Schaumburg Castle, Fürstenberg Castle, Fischbeck Abbey, Bevern Castle, the PS.SPEICHER, the UNESCO World Heritage Fagus Factory in Alfeld and the impressive Corvey Castle.

Here, you'll encounter magnificent Renaissance facades, charming half-timbered ensembles, and vibrant traditions at every turn. Whether following in the footsteps of famous figures, exploring medieval old towns, or marveling at impressive buildings, the Weser Uplands tell their story – authentically, vividly, and always surprising.

Einbeck in the historic Weserbergland

As a member of the Historic Weserbergland quality label, Einbeck is one of the region's 16 historic towns. Known as a former Hanseatic city, it boasts an exceptionally well-preserved medieval townscape. With over 400 half-timbered houses—particularly along Tiedexer Straße, one of Germany's longest half-timbered streets—Einbeck is one of the most important half-timbered towns in southern Lower Saxony.

The PS.SPEICHER as a historical site

Since June 12, 2020, the PS.SPEICHER in Einbeck has officially been one of the eleven historic sites of the Historic Weser Uplands. This places it among the region's important cultural and historical landmarks, which together paint a multifaceted picture of history, architecture, and craftsmanship.
