Rehburg

Rehburg is a town located in the district of Nienburg/Weser in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is situated on the northern edge of the Rehburger Mountains and close to the Steinhuder Meer, a large natural lake. The town is part of the municipality of Rehburg-Loccum. Rehburg has a history that stretches back centuries, with evidence of settlement in the region dating to prehistoric times. Its development was influenced by its geographical location, which offered both fertile land and proximity to water resources.

Historically, Rehburg was known for its salt springs. These springs were exploited for salt production for a considerable period, contributing to the town's economy. Over time, the economic focus shifted, and tourism, particularly due to the nearby Steinhuder Meer, became increasingly important. The Rehburger Mountains offer opportunities for hiking and recreation. The town itself retains some historical buildings and structures that reflect its past. Rehburg is also a starting point for exploring the wider Weser Uplands region. The administrative entity of Rehburg-Loccum was formed in 1974 through the merger of several previously independent municipalities, including Rehburg.
