Welcome to the Rundlinge (Circular Villages) of Wendland!
The Wendland circular villages (“Rundlinge”) have over many centuries formed and preserved a unique cultural landscape as result of their high concentration in a specific area and their excellent state of conservation. The closed circular form of the round villages with their gabled aisled houses arranged in radial farm plots around the village centre, are the product of a centuries-long evolution and today illustrate the latest development stage of the 18th and 19th century. Of the original number of over a thousand circular villages only few examples remain preserved in their entirety. The ensemble of Wendland circular villages in the comparatively small area of the Lower Drawehn does not only combine a variety of excellently preserved circular villages but presents them in a uniquely contiguously preserved cultural landscape that consists solely of circular villages to this day.
