The barn district in the Schlüsselburg district of Petershagen still comprises 26 barns that are built together in a very small space. During the Thirty Years' War there were repeated lootings and fires that hit the population hard. The close proximity of the buildings quickly led to the loss of all winter supplies in the event of a fire. At the beginning of the 17th century, people began to build storage barns outside the town in a flood-protected area. The barns, built close together, still form the unique panorama of the barn district today.

The name is once again misleading: Of course, the local hiker knows that there are by no means several lakes visible from this spot. Rather, it is the "good old Father Rhine," which can be seen several times, seen here from above.

Scheunenviertel are special gems of rural building culture. Due to fear of devastating fires, most of the barns were built outside villages between 1700 and 1800 and offered space for stored goods and storage. Today, the individual barn quarters offer space for a wide variety of uses. From April to September, Thursday to Sunday and on public holidays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., there is the WandelBAR in the Scheunenviertel - a small sales cart with hot drinks, waffles and cakes.

Barns outside the actual city area on the “Humke” can be found as early as the beginning of the 17th century. The lack of space (due to the close development of the place) and the recurring floods of the Weser and later the fire disasters probably caused the Schluesselburgers to store agricultural equipment, harvest supplies and seeds outside the farm.

The Scheunenviertel, which still exists today in the Schlüsselburg district of Petershagen, is a rural cultural asset of national importance. The oldest of the 26 barns still in existence today can be dated to around 1600-1700. 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 predominantly privately owned. A barn that was renovated in 2012 now serves as an information barn and provides information about the Scheunenviertel and the work of the “Dat Schünenviertel” association.

This is a great place to take a break. The service is nice and the drinks cold as it should be. If you only want to take a short break, you should at least stop at the ice cream machine and take a delicious soft ice cream with you for the rest of the way. Mmmmmmhhh….

Schwedenschanze is a common popular name for old ramparts, the origin of which was not exactly known. The rampart next to the refuge is the actual Schwedenschanze and was probably only built around 1673.

Super nice hut and great host....
