Neerdar, district

Welcome to Neerdar, a charming district of the municipality of Willingen (Upland), picturesquely situated between Willingen and Korbach. The townscape is dominated by the late Romanesque church, which is adorned with impressive works by Josias Wolrat Brützel. This historic church is a central point of attraction for visitors and history buffs.
In 1994, Neerdar celebrated its 750th anniversary. During these festivities, the village became the focus of the entire region. The citizens had started planning early on to offer guests a varied program that brought the past to life. These celebrations are a proud part of the village's history and testify to the strong sense of community among its inhabitants.
A particular highlight of Neerdar is the Meilerplatz. Traditional charcoal piles are erected here at regular intervals. They were once used to produce charcoal, which was needed to smelt iron ore, and are a fascinating testimony to ancient craftsmanship. Today, visitors can learn more about this technique and its importance for the region at demonstrations and events.
Neerdar is characterized by its rural tranquillity and the gently rising hills that surround the village. This idyllic landscape is ideal for long walks where you can enjoy nature to the full. A Kneipp facility offers refreshment and relaxation after a long walk.
With just under 100 inhabitants, Neerdar is a small but warm village that welcomes visitors with open arms. The village community is looking forward to introducing you to the beauty and tranquillity of this special corner of the world. Visit Neerdar and experience the combination of historical fascination, traditional craftsmanship and natural recreation.
