Nienburg Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The favorable location at the intersection of early migration and trade routes and at an important Weser ford was decisive for the emergence of the city and its development into the largest town in the Central Weser area. The name Nienburg has been handed down since 1025 and means "New Castle". To this day, the Stockturm, part of the former castle complex, is a visible reminder of the centuries in which Nienburg as a fortress guarded the most important Weser crossing between Porta Westfalica and Bremen.

Nienburg Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

Definitely worth taking a break in Nienburg on the Weser cycle path. The market square is really idyllic, but the rest of the town is also worth seeing.

A pedestrian bridge opened in 2000, connecting Nienburg's city center with the western bank of the Weser River. It was built on the site of the first Nienburg Weser Bridge.

This historic pedestrian bridge connects the city center with the district on the western bank. In the 18th century, the first stone Weser bridge was built on this site as a gift from King George of England. Until the end of the 19th century, this Weser crossing was the only one in the area. When a larger bridge was built a few hundred meters downstream, the first pedestrian bridge was built here, but it was destroyed in World War II. The bridgeless condition at this point lasted for almost 60 years.
