Buxtehude, Hanseatic city in Lower Saxony, Germany

Located in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region, Buxtehude extends along the Este River with medieval structures and modern residential districts.

The settlement received town privileges in 1328 based on Hamburg law and developed fortified walls by 1280 to protect its growing trade activities.

The Museum of Regional History and Art presents collections of local craftsmanship, archaeological discoveries, and domestic culture from different time periods.

Regular S-Bahn connections to Hamburg and regional express trains provide transportation options for residents and visitors throughout the Hamburg Transport Association network.

The Fleth, constructed as a harbor basin following Dutch designs in the 13th century, remained an active docking area for lighter vessels until 1962.
