District
Büddenstedt
Büddenstedt in the south of the district is shaped by former lignite open-cast mining. Where coal was once dug, the Lappwaldsee lake is now emerging as a large recreation area. Village calm, mining heritage and the proximity to the Marienborn Memorial make this district special.
