Lübbenau

Lübbenau is a town in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz District, situated within a network of waterways and waterlogged land in the Spree Forest region. The area is characterized by numerous channels and streams that shape both the terrain and local living patterns.

The settlement first appeared in written records in 1315 and came under Bohemian rule during the Middle Ages. This period influenced the early development of the town and its regional character.

The town reflects strong Sorbian heritage through bilingual signs and traditional architectural styles that shape the local landscape. This cultural presence remains visible in everyday life and local customs throughout the municipality.

The town is accessible by direct train service from Berlin, located roughly 82 kilometers to the southeast. Visitors should prepare for waterlogged terrain and wear appropriate footwear when exploring the region.

The villages of Lehde and Leipe operate without traditional streets, using water channels as the main transport network. In these communities, boats are the primary means of travel and completely replace standard vehicles.
