Tips from the Community
The historic town hall was built in the early 17th century in the Weser Renaissance style. Characteristic features are the gables with semicircular tops ("Welsche Giebel"). Today, the historic town hall houses the registry office, the tourist information center, and the "Ratkeller". On the back of the building, there is a relief plaque from the Gothic period depicting a drinking monkey, which is intended to symbolically express the vice of gluttony or excess. Beautiful old Gothic town hall of the town of Stadthagen on the market square with its many half-timbered houses.

St. Mary Magdalene Church in Lauenhagen is a significant building in the district of Schaumburg, Lower Saxony, and belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Schaumburg-Lippe. It was first documented in 1253 and has undergone numerous structural changes over the centuries. It acquired its present form around 1500, when it was enlarged and redesigned. Despite its long history and several alterations, the church's original character has been largely preserved. The building is constructed of rubble masonry and exhibits the typical style of a late medieval hall church. The square west tower with its copper-covered pyramidal roof, which was renewed in 1968, is particularly striking. A historic bell from 1493, still in use today, hangs in the tower. Inside, the church impresses with its ribbed vaulting, which rests on sturdy buttresses, and its ornate Renaissance pulpit, decorated with figurative heads and delicate foliage. This pulpit is one of the church's most valuable furnishings. In addition to its historical features, St. Mary Magdalene's Church also incorporates modern elements. During a renovation in 2007, the chancel was redesigned and extended with an apse. The church received a winged altarpiece by the Leipzig artist Werner Petzold, which impressively combines traditional and contemporary forms. The church is not only a listed building, but above all a vibrant center for the Lauenhagen parish, which also includes the villages of Hülshagen and Nienbrügge. Services, concerts, and community events are held here regularly. The parish maintains a lively church life with a brass band, a church choir, active youth groups, and a women's group. The community center also includes the "Zwergenburg" (Dwarf Castle) kindergarten, which offers childcare and playgroups for families. The church attracts many visitors, especially during the Christmas season, when the intricately carved nativity scene by the South Tyrolean artist Georg Lanzinger is displayed. Even outside of church services, the church is often open and invites visitors to quiet contemplation or sightseeing.
