Cultural heritage sites are museums & local history rooms, churches, monuments, as well as landmarks & memorials. These more than 40 designated sites and landmarks refer to the cultural heritage of a landscape that is unique in Europe - the Oderbruch.
The Oderbruch is the largest populated river polder in Europe and was the first cultural landscape in the whole of Europe to be awarded the European Heritage Label due to its special history.
Get to know the region better with the cultural heritage sites! Each place tells its own story. So be curious, follow the calendar of events and explore the Oderbruch with us.

Cultural heritage Oderbruch
The first cultural heritage sites joined forces in 2016. Since then, the villages have been working together in a network. In addition to joint public relations work, various cultural and educational projects are supported via the Oderbruch Municipal Cultural Heritage Working Group:
Rendezvous
Every year, the STELLDICHEIN event series takes place at ten different cultural heritage sites. Different locations take part in this ongoing exploration of cultural heritage every year. Further information will follow.
Educational projects
Cultural heritage sites should also be interesting for young people. The „landscape education“ approach uses exciting ideas, techniques and materials to offer opportunities for young people to engage with the history and future of the region. In this way, for example, an extensive film series has been created. In Youth films cultural heritage young people present various cultural heritage sites. You can find information on other projects here.
European projects
As a European Heritage Site, we are in contact with sites from all over Europe. In our projects we find exciting parallels and interesting new perspectives to other European cultural heritage sites. We present current projects here. (link to the menu item „European Heritage Label“)
