Buckeburg

Bückeburg lies along the northern edge of the Bückeberge hills, where a wooded ridge gives way to the broad North German Plain. The town was the capital of the small Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe until 1946, a legacy most apparent at Schloss Bückeburg, still home to the princely family. The palace’s Renaissance appearance and its park shape the historic centre. Bückeburg also houses the Helicopter Museum, which traces the development of rotary-wing flight. Low hills and the wider Schaumburg district surround the town, while the Weser Uplands continue to the south.
