Since 1998, Assinghausen has been gripped by a fascination with roses. The beautiful roses everywhere give the village its picturesque feel. Bundesgolddorf (1989) and Rosendorf (2007) – or “Federal gold village” and “Rose village” are two names that Assinghausen can rightly claim for itself.
Very cold winters are typical, but this above all makes it clear to visitors that it is also possible to grow roses in cooler regions, too. Here, you’ll find a selection of healthy, hardy rose varieties along the four rose paths that survive the cold Sauerland winters and enchant visitors during the summer. These circular paths connect the lovingly maintained private gardens and public beds to create the feeling of a large garden. Discover the full beauty of the village with its roses.
Since 6 July 2007, Assinghausen has been one of the 6 rose villages in Germany. To date, the Gesellschaft Deutscher Rosenfreunde (the association of German rose enthusiasts) has awarded this title to the following villages: Nöggenschwiel, Schmitshausen, Seppenrade, Steinfurth, Löhndorf.
