The bridge was opened in 1927 as the "Hindenburg Bridge". The bridge was blown up in 1945, but opened again the following year - as the first road bridge over the Weser. Until the 1960s, the bridge was also used by the Extertaleisenbahn.

Archive Cottage in the Münchhausen Courtyard

Highlight • Historical Site

The archive house in the Münchhausenhof on Ritterstrasse is an architectural gem. The property belonged to Colonel Hilmar von Münchhausen. In 1565 he had the small house built in the style of the Weser Renaissance in order to keep documents and files here. The preserved parts of the manor house and the converted farm building are also worth seeing.

Sculpture "The Night Watchman"

Highlight • Monument

This is probably the first night watchman monument in Germany. The night watchman stands here wearing a fur-trimmed coat and holding a large halberd. A light stands before him, and in his right hand he holds his horn, as if he were about to sound the call to quiet hours.

With a bit of luck, you might actually encounter a night watchman in Rinteln, as there is a guided night watchman tour of the town once a month.
