Ahrensburg, Renaissance castle in Stormarn district, Germany
Ahrensburg is a town in the Stormarn district of Schleswig-Holstein, positioned northeast of Hamburg with residential neighborhoods, green spaces, and a Renaissance manor at its center. The settlement sits within a landscape shaped by forests and lakes, crossed by walking and cycling routes.
The settlement was founded in 1314 under the name Woldenhorn and belonged to the Counts of Schauenburg and Holstein. The community received town rights in 1949 and developed into a residential area near the Hanseatic city.
The municipality preserves artifacts from Upper Paleolithic period, establishing the archaeological term Ahrensburg culture through numerous excavations in Tunneltal region.
The town connects to Hamburg through regular train services, allowing residents and visitors to reach the city quickly. Locally, shops, schools, and administrative offices provide for everyday needs.
The Jewish cemetery at the edge of town remembers the community that lived here until 1938, when their synagogue was destroyed. Archaeological finds from the surrounding area gave their name to an entire late Paleolithic cultural phase.
