Lemgo, Medieval urban center in Lippe, Germany
Located between the Teutoburg Forest and Weser Uplands, Lemgo features numerous Renaissance buildings and stands 100 meters above sea level in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Founded in 1190 by Bernard II at the intersection of two merchant routes, Lemgo developed into a major trading center within the Hanseatic League.
The Hexenbürgermeisterhaus, built in 1571, contains exhibits documenting the regional history and stands as a prime example of Weser Renaissance architecture.
The Lemgo Marketing office at Kramerstraße 13 provides tourist information and organizes guided tours through the historical district throughout the year.
The town operates the IoT Living Lab LemGO Digital project, transforming the medieval settlement into a technology-driven smart region for small municipalities.
