The Stemweder Berg is not only a popular destination for day trips, but also a place of historical significance. The Peace of Westphalia in 1648 resulted in the southern part of the Stemweder Berg becoming part of Brandenburg (Prussia). This historical change is an important part of the region's history and is documented by various historical boundary stones along the edge of the hill. These stones bear witness to the region's eventful history and offer insights into the evolution of borders and the political changes in the area.

The tour is very beautiful and has a surprising amount of “mountain flair”. But: You should definitely do the tour on a mountain bike! Especially since various tree trunks prevent you from getting through without any problems.

Center of the collective municipality “Altes Amt Lemförde”, very good shopping opportunities. Worth seeing: Amtshof, Martin Luther Church and the public park in the town center as well as the Lemförde orchid farm.

Cinema and gastronomy - or vice versa - is the elixir of life for the Meier family in Lemförde-Quernheim. This cinema has existed since 1952, when the dance hall of the Meier'schen Gaststätte was converted into a cinema with 180 seats. And it has made quite a few headlines across the country over the past few decades. Where others show off their size, Quernheim and the Meier family make people's eyes wide open with their rather small numbers. The town in the Lower Saxony-North Rhine-Westphalia border area is home to around 400 souls, but has three cinemas to offer - making it Germany's smallest cinema village. There are two cinemas and an open-air cinema - and all in an ambience that is worth seeing in itself.

One of the last village cinemas. Legendary!

well...the Jews and forced laborers from the concentration camps who worked under SS-Jürgen's supervision in Zittau shouldn't feel this deep gratitude.
