**Bierde** is a village in the municipality of [Böhme, Lower Saxony](/source/B%C3%B6hme,_Lower_Saxony), that is part of [Heidekreis district](/source/Heidekreis) in the German state of [Lower Saxony](/source/Lower_Saxony).

## Bierder Burg

Near the lake, known as the Bierder See, is a wood in which the ruins of an old castle are located. There are the remnants of five ditches that acted as a defence against enemies. The castle itself was intended to control the river [Aller](/source/Aller_(Germany)), which passes it at a distance of about 100 metres.

## Legends

There are many legends about Bierde. The *Karlsberg* (the highest point in Bierde) is especially shrouded in legend. One of them tells of two giants that fought and hurled stones at each other. These stones then formed the *Karlsberg*.

Another story tells of when the emperor [Charlemagne](/source/Charlemagne) (German: *[Karl der Große](/source/Karl_der_Gro%C3%9Fe)*), stayed there, which is why the hill is named after him.

## Dorfhaus

In the centre of the village is the *Dorfhaus* ("village house"), the old village school.
