Blumberg offers three distinct starting points for planning a trip: the medieval village church, Lenné Park as a heritage garden, and the Blumberger Weg to Krummensee. The options range from architectural and art history to a hike with a named destination. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Blumberg, consider what matters most to you: would you like to explore historic architecture and art, learn about garden design, or include a hiking route in your stay?
Blumberg Village Church: Architecture and Art
Blumberg Village Church is an imposing fieldstone building from the second half of the 13th century. Its tower dates from the 14th century, and the interior contains a late medieval rib vault. The fieldstone building, tower and vault are distinct architectural points of interest; their dates span the 13th century through the late Middle Ages.
The interior contains five painted portraits. Particularly worth seeing is a portrait of a woman, painted in oil on copper by Emanuel Dubuisson in 1730. On the north wall of the choir is an epitaph to H. J. v. Goldbeck and his wife; Johann Gottfried Schadow created the marble relief medallions in 1820. The artworks offer a specific point of comparison: the portrait of the woman is a painting on copper, while the marble relief medallions stand out on the epitaph. The dates also mark two distinct points in time.
Lenné Park and the Blumberger Weg
Lenné Park Blumberg is a heritage garden. Around 1840, Peter Joseph Lenné provided a design for the park. Here, the cultural and historical focus is on garden art and park design, while the village church centres on architectural history and religious art. The design from around 1840 also contrasts in date with the 13th-century fieldstone building. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between medieval architecture, artworks from the 18th and 19th centuries, and historic garden design.
The Blumberger Weg is a hiking trail to Krummensee. This offers an active alternative alongside the cultural and historical themes, with a named destination. If you would rather plan your trip around a hike, you can make the trail a focus of your stay.
Ahrensfelde as a Wider Travel Destination
Ahrensfelde offers additional, distinct cultural and nature-related themes. The Ahrensfelde Cemetery at the village church forms a listed ensemble with the adjoining rectory and surrounds the Protestant church located there. It has served as a burial ground since the first mention of the place name Ahrensfelde in 1375.
The Ostkirchhof Ahrensfelde is a woodland-like cemetery with mature trees, making it a pleasant place for a stroll. The section of the Five Churches Trail from Ahrensfelde to Lindenberg passes by the Ostkirchhof. The Wuhle Hiking Trail begins north of the Ostkirchhof and runs to Köpenick; the Wuhle also rises north of the Ostkirchhof.
For the Barnimer Feldmark Park Tour, Ahrensfelde station is listed as the starting and finishing point, with the S7 and RB25 lines. Check the current timetables for your trip.
