The place Lübben

Lübben fascinates children: with its magnificent castle from the Renaissance period and the old fortified tower, it looks like something from another time. The other offers for families are also unique in the Spreewald. The castle island of Lübben, for example, is divided into adventure areas. There is a water playground with a waterfall and a real wooden raft. Children can become real young pirates in the Spreewald. Then it's on to the hill labyrinth, sound garden and the many other attractions.

Paul Gerhardt in Lübben

Paul Gerhardt (1607 - 1676), considered the most important German author of church songs after Martin Luther, spent the last seven years of his life in Lübben. He is buried in the Paul Gehrhardt Church named after him. Among his many surviving songs is the well-known "Geh aus, mein Herz, und suche Freud'" (Go out, my heart, and seek joy). If you would like to learn more about the life and work of Paul Gehrhardt, the City and Regional Museum in Lübben Castle has its own exhibition area dedicated to him.

From the Spreewald Marathon in April, to the Lübben Barge Night in July and the Spreewald Festival in September, you can visit interesting events in Lübben throughout the year.

Since 2005, aquamediale, a project of KUNSTRAUM Spreewald, has taken place every two years. The festival for contemporary art brings experiential culture into the public space with international artists during the summer months from June to September. The next aquamediale will be presented to visitors to the Spreewald in 2019.
