Nienburg

Nienburg’s cultural and historical treasures reveal a rich and eventful past. A standout attraction is the gothic St Martin’s Church, with its distinctive tower soaring high above the Old Town rooftops. Built in the 13th century, the church is not only architecturally striking but also offers insights into the region’s religious history. Another must-see is the Police Museum, which vividly illustrates the evolution of policing – from historical criminal cases to modern technology. The interactive displays are especially fascinating for children and young people. For those eager to explore Nienburg independently, the Nienburg Bear Trail – a trail marked by white bear paw prints – provides a fun theme. A golden line running through the Old Town guides visitors to the city’s key sights, making discovery both fun and informative. 

Nienburg is renowned as a hub for asparagus lovers. The Asparagus Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of its cultivation. During asparagus season, the town becomes a culinary hotspot, with numerous restaurants serving tantalising asparagus dishes. If you prefer to cook your own meals, you can find a wide range of high-quality, locally sourced products at Nienburg’s weekly market, where the bustling atmosphere makes every visit an experience in itself. Nienburg combines relaxed charm with lively events, including the annual Asparagus Festival, Old Town Festival and enchanting Christmas market.
