Historic Old Town of Werben (Elbe)

Highlight • Historical Site

Werben is a pretty, small Hanseatic town and, with just over 1,000 inhabitants, is one of the 20 smallest towns in Germany.
There is very pretty brick architecture to see there, for example at the Elbtor and the Salzkirche.

Salt Church of the Holy Spirit, Werben

Highlight • Religious Site

The Chapel of St. Spiritus. It is the chapel of the "Holy Spirit" hospital, founded in 1313. Its current appearance was created at the end of the 15th century. The hospital is said to have been founded before the chapel. Later, the chapel served as a salt warehouse (hence the popular name "salt church"), a grain warehouse and a fire station. For years, it has been used for cultural events and as a registry office. A pair of storks also breeds young on its roof.

St. Nicholas Church (Beuster)

Highlight • Religious Site

The three-aisled brick church was built in the late Romanesque period from the second half of the 12th century as part of a collegiate monastery and is considered one of the oldest brick buildings in the Altmark. Initially, the building did not have a church tower. In the 14th century, a massive tower decorated with panels was built over the west end of the ship.

Elbe floodplain

Highlight • Natural

The Elbe meadows near Webern with its meadows, riparian forests and small bodies of water offer a protected habitat for a variety of migratory birds and meadow breeders. NABU has also been committed to protecting the numerous endangered species here for many years. A wonderful place to observe birds such as the reed warbler and the common tern. But otters and beavers can also be seen from time to time.
