Rotenburg (Wuemme): District Capital in the Lueneburger Heide
Rotenburg lies on the Wuemme river in Niedersachsen and serves as the seat of the Landkreis Rotenburg (Wuemme). About 22,140 people live here. The town sits at the southern edge of the Lueneburger Heide, where the flat heathland transitions into the Wuemme river lowland. The Kantor-Helmke-Haus, a 17th-century half-timbered farmhouse, is the local history museum.
Bremen is about 45 kilometres northwest. Hamburg is roughly 80 kilometres northeast. The A1 motorway passes near the town, connecting it to both cities. The Wuemmeniederung, a marshland river valley, is a protected landscape used for extensive cattle grazing. Dairy farming and food processing form the economic backbone of the surrounding district.
