A half-timbered house consists of a wooden skeleton and so-called infills, which fill the empty space between the wooden beams with various materials. In the historic half-timbered house, only oak or spruce wood was used, which was worked with an axe - never sawn wood.

Half-timbered houses as far as the eye can see. This picturesque half-timbered town was first mentioned in a document in 1025. Today, the town has a population of around 33,000 and was an important fortress town on the Weser River crossing in the Middle Ages. Lovingly restored half-timbered buildings, castle farms such as the Posthof (library) or the Fresenhof (museum), and farmer's houses and patrician houses bear witness to Nienburg's history.

The best way to explore Nienburg's old town is with a walk along the "Nienburg Bear Trail."
