Historic Town Hall, Leer

Highlight • Historical Site

Like so many historical buildings, the town hall in Leer is made of typical North German brick. Inside you can quickly see that Leer must have been a rich town in earlier times: ballrooms and beautiful ceiling paintings make the town hall the most impressive building in Leer. You can visit the town hall on a guided tour - you also climb up the tower.

You can find more information about the tour here: touristik-leer.de.

Leer City Harbour

Leer is considered the most important shopping city of East Frisia. It describes itself as a gate Ostfrieslands and is located at intersections of the modes of transport road, rail and river.

The old town is considered the most "valuable" in the region due to the good condition of its historic houses. Four castles, numerous town houses and churches from several centuries can be found in the city.

Highlight • Settlement

There are no typical "East Frisian houses" at this point. This is also not the old town. This point is the pedestrian/shopping street in Leer.
