Nice service, a beautiful view of the Weser and the ferry, and the best fries I have ever eaten: crispy and savory. An ideal place to wait for the ferry when it is on its lunch break.

The weir serves as a direct Weser crossing for pedestrians and cyclists and connects the towns of Dörverden and Hilgermissen. Although there is a push-bike lane, the crossing is rather unsuitable for people with lower physical fitness or people with very heavy bicycles (e.g. e-bikes).

Construction of the Church of the Holy Cross began in 1914 and was interrupted during the First World War. The church, built in the Neo-Romanesque style, was finally consecrated in 1922. A special feature concerns the current Forgiveness Bell, cast in 1934: During an inspection of church bells from the Nazi era by the Hanover Regional Church, it was discovered that the large Schweringen bell bore a swastika and a nationalist inscription. The bell was deconsecrated and artistically redesigned. Traces of the dark past were preserved, and a verse was engraved above the Nazi inscription: "What good will it do a man if he gains the whole world, yet loses his soul?" (Matthew 16:26) More information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreuz-Kirche_(Schweringen)
