Stadthagen: Schaumburg District Capital with a Renaissance Mausoleum
The Mausoleum at the St. Martini church in Stadthagen, built in the early 17th century by Count Ernst of Schaumburg, is considered one of the finest Renaissance funerary monuments in northern Germany. The bronze Resurrection group by Adriaen de Vries, a pupil of Giambologna, is its centrepiece. About 23,050 people live in Stadthagen, the administrative seat of the Schaumburg district in Niedersachsen.
Bueckeburg, the former residence town of the Schaumburg-Lippe principality, is roughly 10 kilometres west. Minden in NRW is about 20 kilometres northwest. Hannover lies approximately 40 kilometres east. The Bueckeberge hills rise to the south. Stadthagen's compact Altstadt retains its medieval market square and several half-timbered buildings. The town functions as a local service centre for the Schaumburg district.
