... Experience diversity in the easternmost small town in Germany


First mentioned in a document in 1268, the easternmost small town (formerly even a district town) on the Neisse can look back on a lively history. Rothenburg/O.L. is known for the Saxon Police University. Rothenburg/O.L. is known for the Saxon Police University, an airfield, an indoor swimming pool, 36 active clubs, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, a multi-generational house, commercial areas, a community centre, a sports and multi-purpose hall, a library and many museums - and all this in the middle of an unspoilt landscape that invites you to take a deep breath. In our parks, on our cycle paths, in our historic town centre or in our districts of Bremenhain, Dunkelhäuser, Geheege, Lodenau, Neusorge, Nieder Neundorf, Steinbach and Uhsmannsdorf, we look forward to your visit! Various guesthouses such as the ‘Cubana’ or ‘Zum alten Postamt’ invite you to linger. The boat trips on the beautiful Neisse are unique! The town is located directly on the Oder-Neisse cycle path. Our region is worth a visit at any time of year.
