Rinteln

The city stretches along the Weser River between the hills of Weserbergland and North Lippe Bergland, featuring numerous half-timbered buildings and Renaissance architecture.

Founded in 1150 on the northern bank of the Weser, Rinteln developed into a fortified town and served as a university center from 1621 until 1810.

The marketplace contains a collection of preserved merchant houses from different centuries, reflecting the evolution of German architectural styles through generations.

Visitors reach Rinteln via the A2 autobahn or through the railway station, with the Tourist Center providing accommodation information and cycling maps.

The town maintains twenty subordinate districts, including Ahe and Steinbergen, each contributing to the administrative structure of this Schaumburg community.
