Culture of the Elbe Region
So many art galleries that present themselves very individually in farmyards and in private homes. Not only is art on show, but also many projects for participation which are very unique. Museums such as the Archaeological Museum in Hitzacker, the Local History Museum in Dahlenburg, or the new Archezentrum are not the only ones worth a visit. Go out and discover this beautiful region. Also, the many beautiful small churches that you will find here along the way, treasures that hide inside church rooms. Visit the festivals, which are always something special, and enjoy art and culture in the Elbe river landscape.
Kunstfleck - Dahlenburg
The members of the rural art association (Kunstverein) founded the "kunstFleck" ("Art Spot") in 2003 and opened the gallery right in the middle of Flecken Dahlenburg. Since then, they have consolidated their experience and invite artists from the region, from all over Germany, and sometimes also from abroad. They exhibit and experiment with painting, photography, installations, and objects.

Theater Bleckede
In the Bleckeder district, Brackede has developed its own theatrical culture. Here the Elbe determines life right behind the dyke and so, in addition to self-written pieces, great dramas of life are played.
The ensemble, which consists of actors and amateurs, shows their great joy at playing with youth theatre and folk theatre. So much so, that Brackede theatre has now become the heart of the local rural population.
