Löningen

Löningen sits on the bank of the Hase River and spreads across flat to gently rolling terrain in Lower Saxony. The town offers shops, schools, and administrative services that support the daily life of around 13,800 residents.

The area was first recorded in 822 as Loingo and later fell under the rule of the Münster diocese. Over the centuries it became part of the Oldenburg Duchy and developed into an agricultural community.

The town maintains its connection to farming, which still shapes the appearance of the surrounding area and remains visible in the fields around it. People here live with the rhythms of agriculture and use local spaces for gatherings that keep this tradition alive.

The town center is easy to explore and has all the facilities visitors need, from restaurants to parking. Walking through allows you to get to know the center and the surrounding neighborhoods.

The area has an industrial past visible in some older buildings, showing how the economy evolved from craftsmanship to modern times. Today, green agricultural land again dominates the landscape and shapes the region's character.
