Discover Neuburg: Church, Jümme and the Hammrich Route

Neuburg is a small dispersed settlement on the Jümme. Its well-preserved agricultural character makes it a popular destination for tourists; in the Jümme village region, Neuburg is regarded as a cultural asset of settlement structure. A visit takes in the church’s architecture and furnishings, as well as the river landscape and the Hammrich Route. The church’s visiting times and the listed route and leisure activities provide different points of reference for planning your trip.

Church and architectural history

The church in Neuburg retains a three-winged altarpiece from 1674 with scenes from the New Testament, as well as a painted wooden pulpit dating from around 1650. The Protestant church in Neuburg is a rectangular hall church with pilaster divisions and round-arched windows; an inscription dates it to 1779. Inside, it has a flat wooden barrel ceiling. Northwest of the Protestant church stands a small bell frame of the parallel-wall type, dating from 1664. The sequence of dates, from around 1650 through 1664 and 1674 to 1779, provides a concrete timeline for comparing the furnishings and architectural features mentioned. Pilasters are flat supports set against a wall; unlike columns, they are not freestanding.

Visiting and church services

The church in Neuburg can be visited from May 1 to October 31, Wednesday through Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Check these seasonal details again before travelling. Visitors are welcome at Sunday services. These alternate between the churches in Amdorf and Neuburg. A children’s service is held every two weeks after the service in Neuburg. If you would like to combine a visit with a church service, take both the visiting times and the alternating service location into account.

The Jümme, the Leda and the Hammrich Route

The Amdorf-Neuburg area lies between the Jümme and the Leda and is popularly known as “Mesopotamia.” This name refers to the wider area; Neuburg itself is the small dispersed settlement on the Jümme. The Hammrich Route passes through Buddenburg on its way to Neuburg. Near Neuburg, it continues to the Altarm Terwisch, a fishing spot for anglers targeting predatory fish. This means the area offers different options: the Hammrich Route for cyclists and the Altarm as a fishing spot for anglers targeting predatory fish. This information helps you distinguish between route planning and fishing, rather than treating them as the same activity.

Leisure activities in Detern

Detern also offers its own leisure activities. The Jümmesee Stickhausen recreational complex includes a lake of about 11 hectares, inviting visitors to swim, play, fish and relax.
