The best city hikes and walks in Stellmoor Und Weichel

great relaxed lake for swimming, jogging or relaxing around

Something's been mixed up here. The bronze sculpture "The Three Generations" is located about 100 meters further west of here. The hiking highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6336126 already exists there. At the entrance to the pedestrian zone, however, there are two stone pillars with different motifs flanking the path on either side.

The sculpture "Memorial to the Victims of National Socialism" was created in 1989 by Matthias Bantz, a Rotenburg physician and sculptor. Its theme: a tortured person screams in helplessness. The memorial was placed next to the town hall at the beginning of the pedestrian zone and was unveiled on November 9, 1989. The inscription on the base reads: "The desire to forget prolongs exile, and the secret of redemption is remembrance."

The small, artificial stream runs through the middle of the city and beneath the pedestrian zone. From its source, the confluence of the Rodau and Wiedau streams, to its confluence with the Wümme, it measures 700 meters. The Stadtstreek (City Tree) was created artificially in 1566: construction debris from a major fire was dumped into the Alt-Wiedau stream, creating a new watercourse that was later expanded into a small canal through the center of the city. It is particularly visible between the Old Pharmacy and the two city warehouses. At the city warehouse, which houses a restaurant, steps lead down to the stream. Here you can take a break and cool your feet. There are also several benches along the stream for a rest. The bridge, which leads through the pedestrian zone over the Stadtstreek, is decorated with geraniums every May. It is therefore also known as the "Geranium Bridge." https://www.nordwaerts.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten-museen/poi/stadtstreek-rotenburg-wuemme-100210888/

At the end of the Stadtstreek in Rotenburg's pedestrian zone, your attention will be drawn to a beautiful old half-timbered house: the "Alte Apotheke" (Old Pharmacy), a house dating from 1835 with a charming entrance area that has been photographed and painted many times. The door features a brass knocker and doorknob made by the Ehlermann and Kovatsay iron foundry. A pharmacy still operates inside today, possessing a very special charm. Stepping inside feels like stepping back in time. https://www.nordwaerts.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten-museen/poi/alte-apotheke-100210890/

As part of the 23rd Rotenburg Potato Market, on October 4, 2008, this sculpture, representing the market's mascot, was unveiled on one of the sandstone pedestals of the Geranium Bridge. It was created by the sculptor Erich Gerer based on a design by Holger Roselieb, the creator of Knolli. The idea had existed since 1999, but was only realized in 2008 through the initiative of the international Rotenburg regulars' table of the "Mistböcke/-bienen" (a local group) and numerous donations from the city's residents. Everyone who visits the "Bronze Knolli" can take home a bit of luck if they rub the sculpture's nose. https://www.rotenburg-wuemme.de/city_info/display/dokument/show.cfm?region_id=165&id=346434

In 1988, the Rotenburg City Council decided to commemorate the victims of National Socialism with a memorial. Dr. Matthias Bantz, a Rotenburg physician and sculptor, created this sculpture. A tortured person cries out in helplessness. The memorial was placed next to the town hall at the beginning of the pedestrian zone and was unveiled on November 9, 1989. The inscription on the base reads: "Wanting to forget prolongs exile, and the secret of redemption is remembrance." https://www.rotenburg-wuemme.de/city_info/display/dokument/show.cfm?region_id=165&id=346434
