Steinhude

Located on the southern shore of Lake Steinhude, this district features traditional fishermen's houses and timber-framed buildings along narrow streets.

The settlement transformed from a fishing village into an industrial center during the 19th century, with linen weaving becoming a major economic activity.

The local Fisher and Weaver Museum presents exhibits about regional traditions, displaying tools and techniques used by past generations.

Regular bus services connect Steinhude to Wunstorf train station, with journeys taking approximately 20 minutes through the surrounding countryside.

The artificial island of Wilhelmstein, constructed between 1761 and 1765, contains military casemates and an educational museum with regional military artifacts.
