Linen Weavers’ Fountain at Lüchow Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

There are two linen weavers at the fountain, reminiscent of the heyday of Wendland linen weaving. The bronze sculpture depicts an old Wendland farmer examining a piece of linen woven by her daughter. The stylized canvas lists the 19 districts that have been part of today's “Groß” Lüchow since the regional reform of 1972. Linen was once woven in all of these former villages.

Lüchow (Wendland) Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The place was first mentioned in documents in 1158 and received in 1293 the city rights. In 1320 the county Lüchow passed into the possession of the house Braunschweig-Lüneburg. From the late medieval city fortification is today only one tower available, which is used as a bell tower for the originating from the 13th century St. John's Church. A 1555 built city gate, which separated the city center from the Drawehner Vorstadt in the west, was demolished in 1793. Between 1471 and 1473, the wife of Duke Otto V of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, Countess Anna of Nassau-Dillenburg (1440-1513), had the castle built into a castle. Lüchow Castle served her as a widow's residence for several years (1496-1504). 1537 Lüchow was plagued by the plague. In 1589, the city burned down for the most part. In 1608 a conflagration put the largest part of the city Lüchow in ashes.

It is worth exploring Lüchow. It sometimes bothers a bit of traffic, but inside crosses and crosses it's worth going. The main street is the "Lange Strasse" with its half-timbered houses and the market square. Worth seeing is also the official tower (rest of the castle) with its park.

Old Town Hall and Ratskeller Lüchow

Highlight • Historical Site

As a hotel, the old town hall is definitely recommended. The rooms are appropriate to their class and clean. But since the marketplace is often used as a meeting place, it may well be that it is quite so quiet.

St. Georg Church Bösel

Highlight • Religious Site

The west tower, a field stone, was built around the year 1300. After a fire, the church was built in 1882/83 as neo-Gothic brick building.
