history

Warrior Memorial

The current core of the settlement was built in 1756 with the construction of the first chapel and the Steinbrenner farm. In 1895 a few houses were built around it. At the location of the former chapel there is now a war memorial . In 1906 the chapel was demolished and a new church was built. After that, Lünten gradually developed into a village. When the new church became too small in 1964, two aisles were added to it. Due to the constant designation of new building areas, Lünten is expanding and developing more and more.
