Rinteln combines a compact half-timbered old town with the steady character of a Weser river town in a way that reflects its position in the Weser Uplands of Lower Saxony. The Weser has shaped local trade and travel for centuries, while the town centre preserves gabled houses, market-square streets and examples of the regional Weser Renaissance style. Rinteln was also a university town: its university was founded in 1619 and remained active until 1810. Today, the historic core and riverside setting give this small town a distinct place within the former Schaumburg region.
