Worpswede, Artists' colony municipality near Bremen, Germany

The municipality of Worpswede sits in the Teufelsmoor region of Lower Saxony, featuring traditional architecture and surrounded by moorland landscapes at 20 meters elevation.

The settlement dates to 1218 when it belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen, experiencing Swedish occupation in 1630 before undergoing major colonization in the 18th century.

The Lutheran Church of Zion, constructed between 1757 and 1759, displays Rococo elements and stands as a central landmark in the municipality's architectural heritage.

Deutsche Glasfaser is installing 300,000 meters of fiber optic cable throughout the district, connecting over 26,000 households to high-speed internet infrastructure.

The Worpsweder Käseglocke, designed by Bruno Taut in 1926, takes the form of a cheese cover and now functions as a museum dedicated to Edwin Koenemann.
