Rotenburg

Tucked into the low-lying geest landscape of Lower Saxony, Rotenburg (Wümme) is a place whose character is shaped by the Wümme River and the flat, water-influenced terrain around it. The town developed around a castle founded by the bishops of Verden in the 12th century, and its name refers to that “red castle.” Rotenburg is now the administrative centre of the district that bears its name, positioned between Bremen and Hamburg in northern Germany. Its compact centre, everyday cafés and shops, and riverside green spaces convey a distinctly regional, small-town rhythm. The surrounding Wümme valley belongs to a countryside of fields, woods and drainage channels typical of this stretch of the North German Plain.
