Lubars Attractions

 
Lübars, an old village grouped round a green, belonged for a long time to the Spandau Convent. The earliest documentary reference to it was in 1247. It is the last of Berlin's villages to have remained almost completely preserved and to have kept its rural character. Today there is a preservation order on it. Surrounded by fields, meadows and paddocks, Lübars was once so well hidden that the soldiers in the Thirty Years' War never found it. In winter the village becomes a very cold spot, with the lowest temperatures in Berlin.

The very center of Lübars is the village green, with the church dating from 1793, the village school and the fire station, All around are single-story farmhouses and a few detached villas, as well as the village inns named "Zum lustigen Finken" (The Merry Finch) and "Alte Dorfkrug" (The Old Village Inn).

Lübars is a good starting point for some lovely walks. Paths lead through the characteristic Brandenburg marshes, with their rich flora and fauna, to the Tegel valley.
