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.

Open weather shelter with a magnificent view.

A great observation post. For nature lovers, this is an absolute reason to visit this house

A measure that is unique to the Weseraue bird sanctuary is the refilling or removal of soil from several former excavation areas to a significantly lower level, close to the groundwater. This has created large areas that are flooded for longer periods of the year and thus provide a habitat for rare animals and plants that are typical of river floodplains. The mud banks, which occasionally dry out, have numerous specialized plant species. The extensive water change zones within the bird sanctuary are a particular attraction for numerous wader species, the so-called waders. In order to keep the valuable habitats open, frugal cattle and horses graze over large areas in the "Windheimer Marsch". Various waders and water birds such as little ringed plover, dunlin, oystercatcher, greenshank, redshank, Temminck's stint, common sandpiper, garganey, shoveler and teal can be found here at times.

Worthwhile place to take a break with a remarkable view of the Steinhuder Meer on one side and the northern Schaumburger Land (if visibility is good as far as Porta Westfalica).

There are also one or two shelters to be found on the Mittelland Canal. This one is on the outskirts of Hespe.

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.
