Lehnin

Lehnin sits at an elevation of 55 meters above sea level between the cities of Potsdam and Brandenburg an der Havel in central Germany.

The establishment of Lehnin Abbey in 1180 by Cistercian monks marked the beginning of significant agricultural and architectural developments throughout the surrounding region.

The former monastery influences local traditions through religious ceremonies, seasonal markets, and community gatherings held at the Klosterkirche St Marien throughout the year.

Regular bus services connect Lehnin to neighboring cities, while the preserved monastery grounds remain open for visitors from Tuesday through Sunday.

The Cistercian monks of Lehnin developed specialized agricultural techniques that transformed the local landscape and established new farming patterns across Brandenburg.
