HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 | Exploring towns HISTORY AND MUCH MORE With a knowledgeable guide through towns in the region Accompanied by tour guides, visitors learn more about the history, sights to see, as well as the legends and myths of the towns in the region. Not only in Hildesheim, but also the small half-timber towns of Alfeld, Bockenem, Bad Salzdetfurth and Elze have offers for exploring the town – be it in the course of a traditional city tour, a historical tour in costumes or a Segway tour. BOCKENEM: SMALL HALF-TIMBER TOWN IN AMBERGAU Bockenem, the half-timber town, in the middle of the historic Ambergau region, looks back on a long history. When it was granted town rights in the year 1300, it was a member in the „Hanse“ (Hanseatic towns association), in the Saxon Hanseatic Association and the working group of the German Half-Timber Road. Worth seeing is the semi-timber collection of the old part of town and the dominant Gothic St. Pankratius Church directly at the market square. The Tilly House located behind it, which is the prettiest half-timber house in town, was once the residence of Luther‘s companion, Bugenhagen, who initiated reformation in this region in 1542. Also popular parts of the historic city tours are: Which was the first building of Bockenem, and who built it? How did the Tilly House and the Kanonenberg (Canon Mountain) get their names? This and much more can be found out by guests from the herald or herbalist about the picturesque half-timber town in the southern district of Hildesheim. Guided tours are also offered at the Town Museum, which is located in the building of the former town school at the Burchholz market square and presents a large turret clock exhibition. The Museum is known among experts across Germany (see page 15). i Groups of 15 or larger can book half-day trips to Bockenem. After a visit at the Museum of Time, tea time together is offered in cooperation with the Town of Bockenem and various cafés, and a tour through the old part of Bockenem as well as St. Pankratius Church accompanied by the herald and the herbalist is offered. Museum of Time, phone +49 (0)5067 249240, info@e-besch.de COSTUME TOURS Not just in Bockenem can visitors delve into history on costume tours. In Hildesheim and Elze too, „witnesses of time“ can take you on a journey into the past. The stories of Hildesheim come to live when the tour guides in historical costumes tell of the urban life, customs and rites of their time. At the side of the night watchman, you can for example, after nightfall find shady figures and other riffraff. The tell tales of their times full of superstition and disappear again in the darkness of the alleys in the half-timber quarter. The town of Elze also boasts costume tours. Under the title „Two contradictory women – travel through time into the 19th century“ the visitors on the side of the postal officer‘s widow, Henriette Sander, come across the arsonist Sophie Catharina Büscher – the special costume tours take the visitors along on a lively two-hour journey through Elze of past times. i Hildesheim: www.hildesheim.de/stadtführungen, Phone: +49 (0)5129 96123, dates available at the tourist-information Elze: www.elze.de, phone: +49 (0)5068 8191 Bockenem: www.bockenem.de, phone: +49 (0)5067 242-0 26

With the self-balancing electric motor rollers the guests can go on a discovery tour and explore the sights of a town in a very special way – also in Hildesheim and Alfeld. In Hildesheim for example, the tour leads through the city along the Rose Route Here, less the substantiated historical explanations are in the foreground of the roughly two-hour tours, but more the driving fun and city experience with accompanying information about the sights to see. In Alfeld and surroundings, likewise interesting tours through the half-timber town and the Leinebergland hillside are on the schedule. In Hildesheim, Bad Salzdetfurth and Alfeld tour guides invite to traditional tours. „Getting to know Hildesheim“ is the motto of a twohour tour starting from the historic market square and leading to Hildesheim‘s UNESCO World Heritage sites. This tour is offered several times during the week by the City Guides‘ Guild. In the alternative, during the summer on Saturday mornings, a trip is offered into the Half-Timber Quarter and St. Lamberti‘s Church where the „music at the market hour“ sounds for 30 minutes. In the spa city Bad Salzdetfurth guests on the city tours go on the trails of the white gold. Hardly any other town is characterised by salt as much as Bad Salzdetfurth. In the half-timber town of Alfeld, a multitude of discoveries can be made in the course of a guided stroll through town.
