Bremervörde

Bremervörde is a municipality in Rotenburg district, situated between the Weser and Elbe rivers. The area covers approximately 150 square kilometers and includes eleven surrounding villages.

Vörde Castle was built in 1111 by Duke Lothair of Supplinburg at a ford of the Oste river to control trade routes between Jutland and Westphalia. The fortress shaped the settlement's development for centuries.

The Bachmann Museum occupies a former castle and displays regional geological discoveries, including a 4,600-year-old wooden wheel and whale fossils. These objects tell the story of how the landscape developed over thousands of years.
