Schlieben is a small historic town in the Elbe-Elster district of Brandenburg, Germany, with a history that stretches back more than 1,000 years.

First mentioned in documents in the 10th century, it is considered the oldest town in the district and is known for its well-preserved heritage and rural charm. The town is officially known as a “Historic Wine and Cellar Town” and is one of the northernmost wine-growing areas in Germany. Its distinctive Kellerstraße, lined with traditional wine cellars, reflects a long local winemaking tradition that remains an important part of the town’s identity.

Today, Schlieben attracts visitors with its historic center, St. Martin’s Church, cultural events, and picturesque countryside. The combination of local wine culture, medieval history, and scenic landscapes makes it a unique destination in southern Brandenburg.
