The moors

Today, there is no longer much in the way of pure moorland in the community, but conservationists have been trying for a few years to recultivate these as the moors, a habitat for some threatened animal species, are becoming scarcer.

History

The community also has a building steeped in history, the Altes Landhaus Buddenberg. This nowadays houses a restaurant and guest rooms. In the house's more than 200-year history, it was mainly home to an

's shop for the rural population. In 1997, after the house had been being used as a private home, it burnt down. A few years later, through help from donations and local history enthusiasts, the house was built anew and lovingly restored as required for preserving historic monuments.

Geography

Economy

-processing businesses have also set up shop in town.
