The barn district in the Schlüsselburg district of Petershagen still comprises 26 barns that are built together in a very small space. During the Thirty Years' War there were repeated lootings and fires that hit the population hard. The close proximity of the buildings quickly led to the loss of all winter supplies in the event of a fire. At the beginning of the 17th century, people began to build storage barns outside the town in a flood-protected area. The barns, built close together, still form the unique panorama of the barn district today.

The old, somewhat dark shelter at this point was recently replaced by a new, bright shelter in accordance with the "Weser Cycle Route standard": The result is a modern, needs-based rest area with tables and benches, information boards and bicycle racks. 😊👍
