The Scheunenviertel, which still exists today, in the Schlüsselburg district of Petershagen is a rural cultural asset of supra-regional importance. The oldest of the 26 barns still in existence today can be dated to between 1600 and 1700. The "Humbke", the highest elevation in the area, was chosen as the location. In addition to numerous floods caused by various Weser floods in historical times, a striking number of fires also destroyed the place.
The Scheunenviertel is mostly privately owned. A barn renovated in 2012 now serves as an information barn and provides information about the Scheunenviertel and the work of the "Dat Schünenviertel" association.

Scheunenviertel are special gems of rural building culture. Fearing devastating fires, most of the barns were built outside of villages in the 1700s-1800s for storage and shelter. Today, the individual barn districts offer space for a wide variety of uses.

Rustic sales car with a nice saleswoman.
The break hut offers protection not only in the rain, but also in the sun as a good shady spot.
