St. Wulphardi Church Freiburg/Elbe

Freiburg, originally an island landscape on the Lower Elbe, is located in the Kehdinger Land. Pliny the Elder, who reached the Elbe with a Roman fleet under the command of the general Drusus, reported on riparian people who live mainly from fishing, making their nets from reeds and rushes. The spot was first mentioned in a document in 1154. In 1271, the ruler of Bremen, Archbishop Hildebold von Wunstorf, granted Freiburg city rights, which later dukes and bishops of the city confirmed several times. A document from 1474 states that Freiburg's city law has been aligned with that of the neighboring city of Stade. Furthermore, the city had stacking and market rights.

Freiburg, the central town of the Nordkehdingen municipality, is characterized by its historic town center, the old harbor. More recent settlement areas then adjoin the historic town center. As a central location, Freiburg ensures basic services.
Here we find the school center and town hall of the Nordkehdingen municipality.

Very nice old town area. Many special individual houses. It's worth taking a walk through all the alleys and paths, including the backyards. Take time. The restored warehouse with an outbuilding for cyclists is very nice: sanitary building (always clean!), storage space for bikes and lockable compartments for luggage. A walk along the old harbor is interesting. If you like a longer walk, go over the dike towards the Elbe. Bring a camping chair! You sit in the front row on the Elbe when it floods! The attractions just float by. A smartphone app is helpful. Bring binoculars for bird watching. You can always find a café in town
