Attractions

2005 reconstructed entrance to the ring wall (Hünenburg)

The so-called Hünenburg is located in the district of Stöttinghausen . It is a prehistoric ring wall with a diameter of about 80 m. These are the remains of an early historical fortification from the 5th to 9th centuries. In 1932, an examination of the inside of the wall revealed that it had once housed several buildings. The local "Heimatverein Scharrendorf-Stöttinghausen zur Hünenburg eV" was founded in 2001, among other things, to reconstruct the Hünenburg and to acquire public funding for it. In 2005 the wooden entrance gate to the Hünenburg was reconstructed. In 2008, the first building inside the facility followed. The conclusion in 2014 was the construction of a bakery. As a result, the ring wall was given an almost castle-like character. The local heritage association, which has signed a long-term user agreement with the town of Twistringen, has taken on the care and maintenance of the facility. Through this contract, the local homeland association has been granted house rights, which are now exercised jointly with the city of Twistringen.
