Impressive and authentic: Lüneburg’s salt market in Rote Rosen”!

In Lüneburg there is exciting news about the popular ARD telenovela “Rote Rosen”, which has been an integral part of German living rooms since its premiere in 2006. Recent developments at the salt market, a central location in the series, have fans eagerly awaiting the next episodes. The salt market, which was lovingly designed based on the real model, is a place that plays an important role both in the history of the series and in the development of Lüneburg.

The square was integrated into the series concept in 2016 to show viewers more of Lüneburg. In order to recreate the real salt market as authentically as possible, the sets were designed in the production studio, as outdoor filming is very time-consuming for the makers. The studio architect Marcus Rinn did a great job here by sketching the floor plans for the salt market, which was built on an old site where the “Eliane Laundry” and the “Dennis and Hannes” workshop were previously located. The salt market has currently existed for ten years, as the backdrops were completed in 2015.

A place for stories and events

What is particularly fascinating is that the salt market is not just a fictional place, but is also filled with life. Extras fill the scene by portraying passers-by and café guests, which greatly enhances the atmosphere of the series. The square itself features custom-made cobblestones that were made specifically for filming. To reflect the seasons, the salt market is constantly being redecorated - in summer you can see it blooming, while in winter it is transformed into a wintry backdrop with artificial snow.

The range of events is also remarkable. Flea markets, fashion shows and even demonstrations have already taken place as part of the telenovela. Interestingly, one of the seasons even touched on the topic of land subsidence, a problem that is relevant in the real city. The salt market remains an integral part of the plot and is regularly supplemented with new characters and settings to keep the story fresh and exciting. The upcoming season 24 brings some unexpected changes that will certainly make viewers curious.

Daily insights into Lüneburg

“Red Roses” brought Lüneburg and its locations into German living rooms like a radiant painting. Jewels such as the four-star Hotel Bergström, the Lüneburg town hall and the historic corners of the water district are among the many impressive locations shown in the telenovela. The style of the old town and the bar mile “Am Stintmarkt” in particular attract not only viewers in front of the television, but also visitors who want to see the film team up close during filming. However, the exact filming dates are a well-kept secret, which further increases the tension.

The Salzmarkt not only remains a retreat for the characters of “Rote Rosen”, but also a lively part of Lüneburg, which makes the city and its stories more tangible with every new film. The fascination for this square and the telenovela remains unbroken, and viewers can look forward to new developments on the salt market that will soon be shown on their screens. In any case, Lüneburg remains a place that tells stories and is full of surprises.
