Luccaburg Castle was an early medieval lowland castle near Loccum. The tower hill castle of the Counts of Lucca, dating from the 11th/12th century, is recognizable as a massive, round earthen mound. Parts of the 2 m wide circular wall are preserved. A Count Burchard of Lucca is mentioned in documents around 1113 and 1130. His daughter, Beatrice of Lucca, married Count Wilbrand of Hallermund, who thus became his successor and heir. In 1163, he donated the surrounding land to Cistercian monks for the establishment of Loccum Abbey. Luccaburg Castle can only be reached on foot or by bike.

The pavilion is named after Duke Frederick of York, 1763-1872. The naming of the building after the son of Princess Sophie Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and King George III of Great Britain, Ireland and Hanover is further evidence of Bad Rehburg's special connection to the House of Welf. His brother Ernst August, King of Hanover, was also one of the noble spa guests. The Frederick Pavilion was first documented in the building inventory of Bad Rehburg in 1891. It was originally a well house and stood near the springs in the spa facilities. When these dried up, it was moved to the promenades that spa guests used for strolling. The Frederick Pavilion was renovated in 1997 and taken over by the Bad Rehburg Cultural Preservation Association. Today it is primarily used to hold cultural events.

A little girl, to whom her grandmother once gave a red cap, is called Little Red Riding Hood. Her mother sends her to her bedridden grandmother, who lives in a house in the forest, with a basket of treats (cake and wine). Her mother warns Little Red Riding Hood not to stray from the path. In the forest, she gets into a conversation with a wolf. The wolf listens to Little Red Riding Hood and draws her attention to the beautiful flowers in a nearby meadow, whereupon Little Red Riding Hood decides to pick another bouquet, despite her mother's warning. The wolf rushes straight to her grandmother and devours her. He lies down in her bed in her nightgown and waits for Little Red Riding Hood. Soon after, Little Red Riding Hood reaches the house, goes in, and goes to (in Perrault's version) or to (in the Brothers Grimm's version) her grandmother's bed. There, Little Red Riding Hood is surprised by her grandmother's appearance, but does not recognize the wolf before she too is devoured. In Perrault's version, the fairy tale ends here. In the Brothers Grimm, the hunter frees Grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood from the sleeping wolf's belly. Instead, stones are put into the wolf's belly. Because of the weight of the stones, the wolf cannot escape and dies. In an Italian version, The False Grandmother, Little Red Riding Hood frees herself through her own cunning and flees. The wolf then dies. Source: Wikipedia

The material of this fairy tale is spread throughout Europe in many variations. It was given to the Brothers Grimm by the storyteller Maria Hassenpflug (1788 - 1856). They revised it several times. The story may have a historical background. Three German communities, Alfeld in Lower Saxony, Waldeck in northern Hesse and Langenbach in the Taunus imagine themselves to be the sites of the historical Snow White. Hardly any other fairy tale offers so much scope for psychological, social or cultural-historical interpretations. Accordingly, it has often been analyzed, examined for symbolism, interpreted and even caricatured. In any case, it is an exciting and fantastic story.

Hansel and Gretel are the children of a poor woodcutter who lives with them and his wife in the forest. When their hardship becomes too great, she persuades her husband to abandon the two children in the forest. Although it is difficult for him, the woodcutter takes the children into the forest the next day and leaves them alone under a pretext. But Hansel has overheard the parents and on the way into the forest he has laid a trail of small white stones that the children can use to find their way back. This is how the mother's plan fails. But the second attempt to abandon the children is successful: this time Hansel and Gretel only have a slice of bread with them, which Hansel crumbles to leave a trail. However, it is picked up by birds. As a result, the children cannot find their way home and get lost. On the third day, the two come across a little house made entirely of bread, cake and sugar. First, they tear down parts of the house to satisfy their hunger. However, in this house lives a witch who is a cannibal. In both the original version of the fairy tale from 1812 and in the later editions up to the "final edition" from 1857, she calls out in a kind of onomatopoeia: "Knuper, knuper, kneischen, who is nibbling at my little house?" In Ludwig Bechstein's German Fairy Tale Book from 1856, the text, which differs from the Brothers Grimm, reads: "Knusper, knusper, kneischen! Who is nibbling at my little house?" The children's answer, however, is identical in Bechstein and in the extended version of the Brothers Grimm from 1819: "The wind, the wind, the heavenly child." The witch is not fooled, catches the two, turns Gretel into a maid and fattens Hansel in a cage to eat him later. However, Hansel uses a trick: to check whether the boy is fat enough, the half-blind witch feels his finger every day. But each time Hansel holds out a small bone to her. When she sees that the boy does not seem to be getting fat, she loses patience and wants to roast him immediately. The witch orders Gretel to look in the oven to see if it is hot. But Gretel claims that she is too small for it, so the witch has to look herself. When she opens the oven, Gretel pushes the evil witch in. The children take treasures from the witch's house and find their way back to their father. Their mother has since died. Now they live happily and no longer suffer from hunger.
