Lübben

Lübben is a district capital in Dahme-Spreewald located about 50 meters above sea level along historic trade routes. The town functions as an administrative center for the surrounding region.

The castle received its first written mention in 1150 and obtained town privileges under Magdeburg law around 1220. These early rights enabled development into an important administrative center.

The town has deep roots in Sorbian culture and sits within the settlement area of this people. Visitors can still find traditional customs and traces of this heritage throughout the region today.

The town sits about 72 kilometers southeast of Berlin with major cities like Dresden and Leipzig within reasonable distance. Visitors should check the best connection to their starting point since accessibility varies depending on the route.

The Paul Gerhardt Church from the 16th century stands as a remarkable building named after a renowned hymn writer who served there. The structure reflects an important religious past that remains visible today.
