Forest path on the Hasenburger Mühlenbach

Highlight • Trail

The way is not only beautiful, it also has a certain historical value. He was part of the old Landwehr (1397-1406). The Hasenburg is the last preserved watchtower of the Landwehr. These land forces did not serve the military defense, but should prevent merchants from bypassing the city of Lüneburg. Lüneburg at the time had the right to stack and the traveling merchants were obliged to offer their goods in Lüneburg for three days. Of course that cost fees and not every dealer wanted to pay them.

This tower is the only control tower of the Lüneburg Landwehr that is still preserved. Now it's a hotel.

purpose of the Landwehr
The salt town of Lüneburg had had the staple rights since 1392. This meant that in a wide radius around Lüneburg, every traveling merchant first had to bring his goods to Lüneburg in order to "stack" them there, i. H. had to offer for sale before he was allowed to move them on. Of course, the merchants wanted to avoid this, and they left the main streets with their carts and tried to drive around the city on side roads. In order to prevent merchants from bypassing Lüneburg, land defenses were built to the west and east of the city. The Lüneburg Landwehr thus played an important role in directing trade.

The source of every Lüneburg wealth can be found here: the salt. Until 1980, the salt was still commercially mined here, today the old production facilities house the German Salt Museum.

Saltworks in Lüneburg Spa Park

Highlight • Monument

A graduation tower is a system for salt extraction. It consists of a wooden framework that is filled with bundles of brushwood (mainly blackthorn). The verb “gradieren” means “to concentrate a material in one medium”. A graduation tower increases the salt content in the water by passing brine through the brushwood; in the process, water evaporates naturally.
Many graduation towers are part of a salt works, which often consists of a graduation tower and a saline. Occasionally, rice installations in swimming pools graduation works are also mentioned, which function like graduation works, but are significantly smaller than those systems, such as those located in the Lüneburg spa gardens, for example.

Inhaling the salt air is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers and asthmatics, as the airways are moistened and the fine salt crystals clean the airways.
