Lenne mouth

The valley cut in the mouth is called Lenne Braunschweigische gate or Porta Brunswiga; that established by the Lenne transverse valley here opens a gate from the former Hanoverian Bodenwerder to the former Duchy of Brunswick.

The the ingress of the Lenne in the Weser sand once formed a ford, so that there was a fairly early trade. As early as 960 the monastery Kemnade was therefore founded on the opposite side of the Lenne mouth.
