Marvellous parks, green forests and magical lakes invite just as much to discovery tours as the multi-faceted cultural offer. Let yourself be riveted by the region‘s diversity. Embedded in the hilly terrains of the Hildesheim Börde, the runs of the Leine and Innerste Rivers, the Leinebergland Hills and the foothills of the Harz mountain range, Hildesheim is located just 30 kilometres away from the State Capital Hanover. The centre of the region, the city of Hildesheim with its population barely fewer than 100,000 residents, is looking back on a nearly 1,200-year-old history. In 2015, the city‘s big anniversary will be celebrated. The genesis of the city is closely entwined with the foundation of the Diocese. The Bishops Bernward and Godehard had a decisive influence over Hildesheim‘s development. Because of the significance of the Diocese‘s development around St. Mary‘s Cathedral, the reopening of the UNESCO World Heritage Church will open the festivities on the occasion of the anniversary. The UNESCO World Heritage, world-famous Egyptian exhibits, historic half-timber houses, Citybeach Hildesheim Mariensee Lake, Laves Cultural Trail 4 Welcome | HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 a colourful cultural scene and attractive shopping possibilities make Hildesheim today a lively city. Hildesheim has much to offer – those seeking tranquillity will find an idyllic scenery in the parks and gardens, at the lakes and the walls systems and those who are interested in culture will what they are looking for in the theatres, museums and galleries. The popular city beach conjures a summerly vacation atmosphere in the city centre, as does the newly opened JoBeach at the Hohnsensee Lake. On an excursion into the region, a great number of cultural treasures can be discovered – castles, cloisters and fortresses. One highlight is the Fagus Factory in Alfeld. The Fagus Facory built by Walter Gropius was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 2011. Be it by bicycle or on foot – excellent biking and hiking trails lead through the entire region, regardless if it is the „Pottland“ (pottery region) near Duingen or along the Innerste River on the newly opened Innerste bicycle trail. Special perspectives are opened on the water. One does not need to be a pro to explore the vicinity around Leinebergland hills or the Innerste valley by waterway. Guided canoeing tours are offered on the Leine and Innerste Rivers. The forest can be experienced with all senses on the „Sinnespfad“ (Senses Trail) on Alfelder Schlehberg Mountain and „nature first-hand“ is riveting on the southern slop of the Ortsberg. Get to know the many different faces of the Hildesheim Region – we are looking forward to seeing you! Historic Market Square of Hildesheim 5 HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 | Delve into History DELVE INTO HISTORY H History comes to live in Hildesheim ildesheim – this is where modernity and tradition come together. Numerous buildings bespeak the impressive history of the city: For example, around the historic market place or the „Upside-down Sugar Loaf“. This is owed to the commitment of the people of Hildesheim. In a great financial effort they have accomplished that the old half-timer houses in the city centre be reconstructed true to the originals. The Half-Timber Quarter displays just as much love for detail, while here in the new part of town, many historical buildings were preserved. Narrow alleys, luscious roses and lovingly restored half-timber buildings – you absolutely must take the time for a foray into the past. AROUND MARKET SQUARE History was re-choreographed in Hildesheim – modernity conjoins with history. The historic market square and the „Upside-down Sugar Loaf“ attract thousands of tourists to the city each year. In an impressive way they take visitors back into long past centuries. The massive backdrop around the market square barely suggests that here, after the war, not one stone was left resting on another. The reconstruction true to the original is owed to the distinct dedication of the people. The market square, which was rebuilt between the years 1984 to 1990, sets the scene for the significant past of the former Free Hanseatic City. Particularly in focus is the Knochenhauer (butchers‘) complex Weekly market on the historic market square in Hildesheim Upside-down Sugar Loaf 6 - and the building of the Bakers‘ Trade Authority - both of which were reconstructed according to the original plans. The former building of the Butchers‘ Trade Authority displays elaborate details on the façade and communicates sturdy cosiness inside. An eye-catcher is also the Temple House with oriental influences in its architecture. The tourist-information is accommodated today in the for- mer Patrician‘s House. Modern buildings stand behind the elaborately designed façades of the Rolandstift and the Wedekindhaus as well as the town pub on the opposite side of the street, the Rococo House and the building of the Wool Weaver Guild. Owing to the perfectly reconstructed ensembles, Hildesheim may confidently boast having one of the prettiest market squares in Germany. Just a few steps away from the market square, in between the modern building complexes in the pedestrian zone, an additional half-timber building was reconstructed according to the historic plans. The building has a curious name, and its appearance is no less curious: already 500 years ago, the half-timber building protruding to the top at Andreas Square was called the „Upside-down Sugar Loaf“. Delve into History | HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 HISTORIC HALF-TIMBER BUILDINGS ALL AROUND THE KEHRWIEDER TOWER St. Godehard In Hildesheim, the new part of town is the true „Old City“. The charming narrow alleys, luscious rose blossoms and lovingly restored half-timber buildings – visitors of the city of Hildesheim should be sure to take a little time for a foray into the Half-Timber Quarter between „Brühl“ and „Keßlerstraße“. The former „Nuremberg of the North“ used to have about 1,900 half-timber buildings. The streetscapes that remained standing after the war still give a sense of the former half-timber glory of that time. Truly worth seeing is Werner House at the „Hintere Brühl“, which was built in the year 1606. The abundantly decorated façade with its 29 picture plates were restored elaborately in 2010 and 2011. Located visà-vis is the impressive St. Godehard‘s Church. Unique is also the Kehrwieder tower of the year 1465, which used to be the former city gate. According to legend, the fortification tower owes its present name to the circumstance that the sound of a bell on the tower had showed an aristocratic maiden the way home after she lost her way in the neighbouring forest. The Armourer‘s House and the memorial stone commemorating the persecution of Jews, which is located at the former site of Hildesheim‘s synagogue, are additional places worth seeing in the Half-Timber Quarter. Wernersches Haus (Werner House) Keßlerstraße and Kehrwieder tower ON FOOT THROUGH HISTORY i Those who are drawn across the city of Hildesheim, past the most important sightseeing spots, from the market square into the Half-Timber Quarter, will find the right way along the Rose Route. Small cobblestones with rose design point in the right direction. An accompanying brochure, which can be obtained from touristinformation, provides explanatory information on the history, the UNESCO World Heritage, about buildings, churches and streetscapes. tourist-information, phone +49 (0)5121 1798-0 or at www.hildesheim.de/rosenroute 7 HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 | Preparations for a big birthday A THE BIG BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP great event casts its cloud ahead of time: Hildesheim is preparing for a big birthday – in 2015 the city and the Diocese celebrate their 1,200th anniversary. The anniversary programme plans new events in the anniversary year, which were specially developed for this occasion, meanwhile also successfully tried and proven formats are on the schedule. Exhibits, street festivals, stage plays – guests and residents may look forward to more than 100 events. ANNIVERSARY OF HILDESHEIM IN 2015 The city and Diocese Hildesheim will celebrate a big anniversary in 2015 – anno 815 Hildesheim was founded as the new Bishop‘s seat. This event is closely tied to the legend of the 1,000-year-old rose tree. Emperor Ludwig der Fromme (Louis the Pious) is said to have recovered a precious reliquary among the flowers of the rose tree, which he had lost on his hunt. To honour Mary, Mother of God, he had a chapel built at the spot. The 1,200th anniversary will be celebrated appropriately. The programme in the year 2015 plans new and specially developed events for this occasion during the anniversary year, for example, the stage production of „The Name of the Rose“, turning the entire city into a theatre stage, or an exhibition at the city congregation hall. Yet also tried and proven formats, such as the popular street artists‘ festival „Pflasterzauber“ (pavement magic) will be thematically integrated in the anniversary year. In addition, around 100 small-scale events are planned under the broader motto „Urban Spirit“. The anniversary programme will take up the historical dimension of the event, 8 pay tribute to the present life in Hildesheim and, at the same time, take a look ahead. Meanwhile the thematic spectrum is multi-faceted: the city history, the UNESCO World Heritage, the diverse cultural scene, the city as an educational, residential and economic centre. All of this what distinguishes Hildesheim and which is linked to the essence of the city will be reflected in different ways in the anniversary events. The preparations can be felt in the city in 2014 already: the thematic year 2014 culminates in the Hildesheim anniversary and the reopening of the Cathedral in August 2014 will mark the start of the celebrations (see page 9). i City anniversary: Office 1200, phone +49 (0)5121 1767-155, www.hildesheim2015.de Diocese anniversary: Project office for the Diocese anniversary 2015, www.bistumsjubilaeum-hildesheim.de UNESCO World Heritage | HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 CATHEDRAL AND CATHEDRAL MUSEUM SHINE IN NEW SPLENDOUR Ready on 15 August 2014: the Hildesheim Cathedral will reopen its doors after nearly five years of construction – on time for the Diocese anniversary in 2015 the UNESCO World Heritage church will shine in new splendour. But not just St. Mary‘s Cathedral was renovated and redesigned in recent years, also the neighbouring St. Antonius Church was redeveloped to become the Cathedral Museum – the new Cathedral Museum will open its doors in April 2015. Since the reconstruction of the Cathedral in the 1950s, the Bishop‘s church has not been renovated. The structural building also no longer conformed to the contemporary liturgical and aesthetic ideals. With the renovation, the Romanic spacial ar- rangement of the Cathedral will now be reinstated – the famous Bernward‘s door will be moved to the interior so to protect it against weathering, the organ gallery will be replaced by a self-supporting structure and the stairwell in the northern traverse nave will be removed. The entries to the crypt will be moved back again. Next to the crypt, a new burial site for the deceased Bishops will come into being. Hezilo‘s candleholder, which ornamented the basilica of St. Godehard‘s church during the renovation of the Cathedral, will return to its original location in the middle of the Cathedral. Azelin‘s candleholder, which was hung in St. Antonius Church is moving to the choir room. The baptismal font of the Cathedral will find a new place in the middle of the centre nave. Entirely new rooms will be provided to the Cathedral Museum in the adjacent St. Antonius Church. On a much larger exhibit space, the precious and internationally prominent exhibits of the Cathedral treasure that is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage for Humanity can then at last be presented in the appropriate setting. For example, for the first time since the Second World War, the baroque picture carpets from the old Knights‘ Room will once again be seen. i www.domsanierung.de www.dommuseum-hildesheim.de THEME YEAR 2014 „WORLD HERITAGE AND HISTORY“ St. Michael‘s Fagus factory St. Mary‘s Cathedral The UNESCO World Heritage will be at the centre of attention around Germany in 2014. Under the motto „UNESCO World Heritage – Sustainable culture and nature tourism“ the German Centre for Tourism dedicates the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Germany their own theme year. It is not surprising that Hildesheim picks up on this theme and calls the year „World Heritage and History“ in 2014, because the city can take pride in the fame of two World Heritage churches at the same time – St. Michael‘s and St. Mary‘s Cathedral were entered together into the list of the World Heritage in 1985. St. Michael‘s Church is considered to be one of the most beautiful Early Romanic churches in Germany. Inside of Hildesheim‘s St. Mary‘s Cathedral the UNESCO was swayed by the bronze casts, the Column of Christ and Bernward‘s door as unique achievements of Bishop Bernward and also appreciated the Cathedral treasure. The two World Heritage churches in Hildesheim are connected by the World Heritage Band – large-format, bright granite plates lead the guest through the city to the World Heritage churches and interconnect with further touristic highlights, such as Magdalena‘s Garden, the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum, the market square i and the „Upside-down Sugar Loaf“, or even the shopping mall, Arneken Galerie. Built-in LED bars and illuminated bollards point the way in the evening and at night. Between April and October, visitors can expect numerous events all around the UNESCO World Heritage and the city‘s history. In the process, also additional World Heritage sites in southern Lower Saxony are integrated, such as the Fagus factory in Alfeld as well as its historic district and the Rammelsberg in Goslar and the Wasserregal (waterworks) of the Upper Harz region. The current programme for the theme year „World Heritage and History“ in Hildesheim will be available online in 2014. www.hildesheim.de/welterbe www.hildesheim.de/themenjahr 9 HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 | UNESCO World Heritage T EVEN MORE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE IN SOUTHERN LOWER SAXONY estimony to past cultures, artistic master pieces and unique natural landscapes, whose destruction would be an irreplaceable loss to all of humanity – the UNESCO list of World Heritage has registered more than 900 natural and cultural sites worldwide, 38 of which in Germany. In southern Lower Saxony, there are even several of these UNESCO World Heritage sites to marvel at: the two World Heritage churches of St. Michael‘s and St. Mary‘s Cathedral (see page 9), the Fagus factory in Alfeld (Leine River), the ore mine of Rammelsberg Mountain and the historic district of Goslar, as well as the system of the waterworks in the Upper Harz region. In June 2011, the Fagus factory was included in the World Heritage list as the first industrial structure of modernity. The building of the company Fagus-GreCon was designed in 1911 by Walter Gropius, the originator of the Bauhaus style – it was the first large building of the famous architect. Gropius managed to provide a midsized production site an utterly unusual appearance that differed greatly from tradition. The Fagus factory represents an architectural understanding, which for the first time in that era, considered the requirements for light, air and clarity, and used glass and steel according to the doctrine of New Building. To date, the living monument fulfils its original purpose as a production site. Visitors can cast a glance behind the scenes in the context of exciting factory tours and a Fagus Gropius exhibit informs in the former warehouse on 3,000 square metres for example, about the company history or shoe fashion of the past 100 years. In the UNESCO year 2014, the Fagus factory invites with a special exhibit „UNESCO World Heritage – a voyage of Germany“ to go on a visual tour to Germany‘s World Heritage sites – expected dates of the exhibition will be July 10 to September 2014. The exhibition showcases 38 German UNESCO sites in a selection of photography and characteristic exhibits. The Fagus factory has a new presentation on the internet at www.faguswerk.com. The new pages – in the same way as a new image flyer – inform of event dates, the Fagus-Gropius exhibition, guided tours and much more. In addition, the visitor guidance and information system of the Fagus factory is being expanded – at altogether four sites, the system will inform visitors about the particularities at each site and make a guided connection of the visitor attractions on a loop trail around the factory premises. Among the central attractions are: Conference Centre, the Fagus-Gropius Café, Fagus-Gropius Exhibition, Fagus Gallery, Fagus Shop and the new UNESCO Visitor Centre, which currently in planning. i www.fagus-werk.com Churches and cloisters | HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 CHURCHES AND CLOISTERS T he multitude of churches and cloisters founded have characterised the Hildesheim region in a particular way. Even today the sacral buildings with their infinite art treasures characterise the scenery of towns and municipalities. HILDESHEIM – CITY OF CHURCHES Besides the UNESCO World Heritage churches more than 30 churches pay tribute to the history of Hildesheim as the Bishop‘s town. Worth seeing for example is St. Godehard‘s Church in the Hildesheim HalfTimber Quarter. The Romanic church was donated by Bishop Bernhard in 1133 to honour Hildesheim‘s Bishop Godehard. The choir, at the centre of which is the burial site of Bishop Bernhard, is designed in rich colours. In 1963 Pope Paul VI raised the status of the church to a „basilica minor“. Lamberti‘s Church in the new part of town in Hildesheim is the only late Gothic hall church of Hildesheim and was reconstructed in 1952. Particularly worth seeing is the altar of Peter Paul dating back to the time around 1420 and the baroque organ. The Mauritius Church on Moritzberg Mountain is a gem and at the same time unique monument of architecture in Northern Germany, because it takes up on the construction design of the column basilica, which is uncommon in the North. Idyllically sit- uated in the district of Neuhof is the Marienrode Cloister, which was founded in the year 1125 by Bishop Berthold. In the religious exercise building, visitors can stay overnight and find peace and contemplation in the cloister setting. Cloister products as well as religious literature and Christian art are available in the small cloister shop. i ASCEND TO THE HIGHEST CHURCH TOWER IN LOWER SAXONY Of all landmarks of Hildesheim, the tower of St. Andreas Church is the most striking one, because it rises to 114.5 meters as the highest church tower of Lower Saxony, far above the roofs of the city. From its observation deck at a height of 75 metres, the St. Andreas church tower offers a marvellous view of the entire city and the region. In conditions of good visibility, the Marienburg Castle, Leinebergland hillsides and even the Brocken mountain seem very near. i www.hildesheim.de/andreaskirchturm, Phone +49 (0)5121 1798-0 St. Mauritius www.hildesheim.de/kirchen Tip: Not just worth seeing but also worth hearing are the organ concerts and music events in the churches and cloisters. CLOISTER IN LAMSPRINGE A significant cloister complex can be found in the area of Lamspringe in the south of the Hildesheim region. The historical building is known for its artistically equipped cloister church and the scenic cloister park with ponds and modern sculptures. Cloister Lamspringe was mentioned in public documents for the first time in the year 872. Worth seeing is furthermore the baroque finishings of the church, which are among the most precious arts treasures of Lower Saxony for the flower depictions of the groined vaults and the artistic wood carvings on the high altar, choir stalls, choir screens, pulpit and baptismal pond. The splendid organ of the year 1700 is one of the prettiest in the Hildesheim Diocese. Below the new altar is the reliquary casket of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The Irish Archbishop passed away a martyr in London in 1681. Visits and group tours can be scheduled with Samtgemeinde Lamspringe, phone +49 (0)5183 500-0.

Many structures, often dating back to the middle ages, are completely preserved. Because many of them are held in private property, there are just a few buildings that can be visited on the inside nowadays. Furthermore well-known is the Marienburg Castle, while the baroque castle Wrisbergholzen has a rather enchanted fate. MARIENBURG CASTLE ABOVE NORDSTEMMEN Getting married in the castle chapel or visiting the salon of Queens and Princesses – Marienburg Castle is considered a touristic highlight in Lower Saxony. On top of Marienberg mountain in a magnificent location above Nordstemmen, the castle as one of the most significant new Gothic architectural monuments in Germany attracts thousands of visitors each year. At Marienberg Castle, you can delve into royal life of the 19th century: The castle was a gift from the King of Hanover, Georg V, to his wife Marie for her 40th birthday – it was built i between 1858 and 1867. The impressive four-winged structure was the royal couple‘s summer residence. The two famous architects of the „Hanover School“, Conrad Wilhelm Hase (18181902) and Edwin Oppler (18311880), designed the castle. It can be reached easily from the Nordstemmen railway station from where the Marienburg Casle Express climbs the ascend to Marienburg Casle. On weekends and holidays, the white and blue small railway car commutes to and from Nordstemmen and the castle between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. www.schloss-marienburg.com, phone +49 (0)5069 48000 Marienburg Express: www.marienburg-express.de BAROQUE CASTLE WRISBERGHOLZEN There is an enchanted castle in the municipality of Sibbesse the baroque castle Wrisbergholzen: In the left side wing is 12 the famous tile room of 1752, whose walls are completely covered by around 680 tiles with sayings (in Italian, French and Latin) made by the former princely fayence factory in Wrisbergholzen. This fayence factory was opened in 1736 and is the oldest of its kind in North Western Germany. Worth seeing is also the castle‘s park with its ancient trees. The orangery of the castle is one of the few preserved orangeries from the mid-19th century in all of Lower Saxony. The building is being renovated in several construction phases during 2013 and i 2014. The orangery can be seen in the course of a guided tour, as can be the church of Wrisbergholzen. For insiders of church music, the church is of particular significance for its Müller organ dating back to the year 1704. Guided tours are offered by the Society for the Preservation of Architectural Landmarks („Verein zur Erhaltung von Baudenkmalen in Wrisbergholzen e. V.“) on some Sundays during the summer. Information and dates for visits can be found at www.alfeld. de/wrisbergholzen Fortresses and castles | HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 CASTLES & FORTRESSES IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF HOLLE In the municipality of Holle, there are several castles and fortresses to be discovered even: One of the most wellknown castles is Derneburg Castle. It owes its fame to its former owner, the painter Georg Baselitz. He purchased the castle in 1975, but sold it again in 2006 to a patron of the arts from the USA. The castle and its garden cannot be visited, but it is well worth seeing, even if just from the outside because of its curved pagoda-style roof. With the neighbouring restaurant in the glass house, the former greenhouse of the castle market garden, the Laves cultural trail, and the attractive landscape surroundings, inviting to go hiking and biking, make the castle a popular destination for short trips. Pretty to see is also the impressive baroque castle of Söder. This castle too is privately owned and is therefore unfortunately not opened to visitors. Today, orphans reside in Henneckenrode Castle. The castle was completed in 1850 in the style of the German Re- Derneburg Castle naissance. A special sight to see is St. Joseph‘s Church with its late Gothic, three-part winged altar and the Renaissance garden. At the ruins of Wohldenberg Fortress the visitor experiences a voyage back to the age of knights. From the old square i fortress tower you have a beautiful view all around the municipality reaching up to the Harz mountain range and its peak, the Brocken. A great number of hiking trails set out from here into the forests of the municipality of Holle. www.hildesheim.de/tourismus-holle MARIENBURG MANOR Marienburg Estate is a historic fortress build in 1346 by Bischof Heinrich III. Still preserved today from the time of its origin is still the massive donjon and the so-called „High House“. Originally, the grand moated castle in the swamp area served for controlling trade and traffic which departed from Hildesheim in southern direction. Today the historic site is the property of the Hildesheim University Foundation. The renovated buildings provide spaces for the Institute of Creative Arts and Aesthetics, Theatre and Media as well as Performing Arts. Besides the academic programmes, also public exhibitions and events are organised here. The School Museum, which is also accommodated on the estate grounds, as well as a cosy café are popular destinations for taking walks and bicycle rides. i www.uni-hildesheim.de 13 HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 | Art and culture COLOURFUL SET OF CULTURAL FLOWERS M Museums and galleries – the cultural side of the region useums and galleries – in the Hildesheim region there is a great variety of cultural treasures to discover; some of them are worldfamous, such as the Egyptian collection at the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum in Hildesheim. Others are still lesser known, such as the Pottery Museum in Duingen or the Museum of Time in Bockenem. ROEMER AND PELIZAEUS MUSEUM What came before genesis? How did time and space emerge and who is the creator? These and other questions on the creation and continuation of the world are posed by the last great genesis myth of Ancient Egypt: the famous „Book of Fayum“. For several decades it has been dedicated to an international expert team for its decryption. The Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum presents from 13 September 2014 to 11 January 2015 this remarkable papyrus – supplemented by a series of international gifts for limited time, which realise the unusual images in three dimensions – in the special exhibition „The Creation of the World – Egypt‘s last genesis myth“. It conveys a surprising understanding of this antique culture, which reaches far beyond pyramids, Pharaohs, and mummies, while it invites children and adults, groups and single visitors to a voyage through the ancient Egyptian universe. Here, the visitors can encounter gods and together with the sun god in the form of a crocodile they may dive into the Sea of the Oasis Fayum, so to revive the memory of the god and thus experience the genesis. i www.rpmuseum.de, Phone +49 (0)5121 93690 CITY MUSEUM OF HILDESHEIM The City Museum of Hildesheim opens the curtain for The Magic Flute – on occasion of the 100th birthday of the artist Waltraute Macke-Brüggemann (1913-2006) the City Museum will present an exhibition until 1 June 2014 on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart‘s The Magic Flute – in cooperation with the Theatre of Lower Saxony and the Centre for World Mu- 14 sic of the University Hildesheim. Waltraut Macke- Brüggemann, together with her husband Kurt Brüggemann, published a highly successful series of opera books for children and youths. Enchanting illustrations by the artists guide through the action and introduce the most important characters. Stage designs, musical instruments as well as listening samples of the songs put the visitor into the world of opera. Numerous natural scientific and ancient Egyptian exhibits let the scenes of the opera come to live. Yet the exhibition also illuminates the story of its i making and the backgrounds of the opera, and takes the visitor along on a time travel to Mozart‘s epoch. Cinema, play and knowledge stations invite to try out and discover. Live concerts, family and campaign days, guided tours and workshops offer fascinating insights into Mozart‘s famous opera. www.stadtmuseum-hildesheim.de, Phone +49 (0)5121 2993685 Art and culture | HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 SMALL MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES ARE WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED Extraordinary crafts, intricate mechanics or international art – in the Hildesheim region, interesting small museums and galleries can be discovered. For example, the Pottery Museum in Duingen shows ceramics of eight centuries. Besides the utility pots of the 18th and 19th centuries, there are elaborately decorated vases of the Renaissance age and Medieval round-bottom jars. For many centuries Duingen was the centre of a region that was called the „Pottland“ (pottery region) for its manifold pottery productions. With a children‘s book, the Pottery Museum would also like to introduce children to the exhibit. „Mary‘s Pottery Voyage“ describes the experiences of a family of potters from the pottery region. The fascinating technology of large turret clocks with winding by hand and even smaller clocks with electrical winding can be seen by the visitors to the „Museum of Time“ in Bockenem. The specialisation is based on the former tower clock factory and bell foundry J. F. Weule, which has supplied turret clocks for three generations over 100 years out of Bockenem to all continents of the planet. By far not an insider‘s tip anymore is the gallery in the former bulls‘ stables of Bodenburg Castle with its international exhibitions. Works of the artist Ryszard Grzyb are presented from 28 June to 17 August in the bulls‘ stables – the title of the show: „The rhinoceros, the bull and other animals of the bulls‘ stable in Bodenburg“. i „The rhinoceros, the bull and other animals of the bulls‘ stable in Bodenburg“ Pottery Museum, Duringen: www.toepfermuseum-duingen.de Museum of Time, Bockenem: www.bockenem.de Gallery in the Bulls‘ Stables, Bodenburg: www.kunstverein-bad-salzdetfurth.de THEATRE OF LOWER SAXONY The Theatre of Lower Saxony enchants to come along into worlds of fantasy – and this in all of Lower Saxony, with its headquarters being in Hildesheim. The play schedule 2013/14 boasts 19 productions and ten re-openings in musical theatre, drama, musical and young theatre, plus eight concerts. The failures of human planning represent the red herring in the play schedule. Heinrich Faust is abound with insatiable greed for knowledge and action, but all his self-indulgent acts lead to disaster. Goethe’s two-part Faust composition is one of the most famous and most frequently cited works of international literature. The Theatre of Lower Saxony brings the first part of the tragedy to the stage in a new production. Also Giuseppe Verdi’s lyrical comedy of the no-good glutton “Falstaff” is on the play schedule. At the end of his long career as Italy’s leading musical dramatist, the almost 80-year-old Verdi provided the sound version of Shakespeare’s comedy to say good-bye to the world with a laughing eye. The premier of the Musical “Hair” caused a massive scandal in 1968. Today the musical is considered a milestone of pop culture – sentimental ballades and rock-n-roll dance parts such as “Let the Sunshine in” and “Hare Krishna” exert the energy and spirit of an entire generation at the Theatre of Lower Saxony. i More information all about the current play schedule is available at www.tfn-niedersachsen.de 15 HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 | Activities in the region ACTIVITIES IN THE REGION B Enjoying beauty with all senses e it on the e-bike, by canoe or on foot: Sights to see can be experienced in Hildesheim and the entire region from a number of quite different perspectives. Experiencing the forest with all senses – on the „Senses Path“ on Schlehberg Mountain in Alfeld this is easily possible. On the cultural landscape trail on Ortsberg Mountain, „nature can be experienced first-hand“. „Experiencing nature first-hand“ on canoeing tours Every hill on the Leinberg hillside, each mountain in on the foothills of the Harz mountain range will be conquered easily – with the e-bike. Since the spring 2012 the Hildesheim region has been one of the 50 „movelo regions“. Numerous rental stations in the Hildesheim region have electrical bicycles available for renting. The prettiest sights to see, the most breathtaking lookout points, cultural highlights and culinary delicacies can be „experienced“ without great effort on the e-bike in the Hildesheim region. Adventurers will get what they are looking for on a canoeing tour – both on the Leine as well as the Innerste River. Who was used a kayak or canoe once on a river to make their way will 16 know: a detour into nature can hardly be more relaxing and at the same time thrilling than this. One does not need to be a pro to explore the vicinity around Leinebergland hills or the Innerste valley on the waterway. In the Leinebergland hills guided canoeing tours are offered – with or without picnic, very well also combined with bicycle tours. The 13-kilometre route between Alfeld and Gronau is predestined as a family-friendly beginner‘s tour. Depending on the willpower to step into the pedal, the tour takes four to five hours. Tours along the Innerste are likewise possible. The tours take off from the river bridge near Astenbeck and end on the Hohnsensee in Hildesheim. The canoes can be booked per day or at a cheaper rate only for afternoons. Experiencing the forest with all senses – on the „Senses Path“ on the Alfelder Schlehberg mountain this is easily possible. According to its inter-generational concept it has touch-and-feel boxes, ear trumpets, wind chimes, animal‘s long jump, the tree telephone and much more in store. At about 20 stations, big and small visitors can play, have fun and learn many interesting things about the forest and its residents. The path has a length of around 1.4 kilometres and en route it offers marvellous views onto the town of Alfeld (Leine). i On the cultural landscape path too on the Ortsberg Mountain near Alfeld can „nature be experienced first-hand“ – the southern slope of the Orsberg and Rehberg mountains are characterised by their extraordinary diversity in the landscape: forests, hedges, meadows and fields on the narrowest of spaces. The richness in kinds is remarkable. On a space of barely two square kilometres, more than 400 plant kinds have been verified, in addition to numerous animal kinds. Ten theme plates lead the way along the cultural landscape path on the Ortsberg. www.hildesheim.de/aktiv, www.hildesheim.de/e-bike www.kanu-leine.de Activities in the region - Water experience | HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 BEACHES, LAKES, WATER SPORTS AND OUTDOOR POOLS Bathing, boating, sailing or simply enjoying the sun – beaches, lakes and pretty outdoor pool facilities invite to do so in the Hildesheim region. A beach of special kind is the City Beach behind City Hall. Sand, palm trees and reclining chairs conjure up a holiday scene in the middle of the city centre during the summer months. The visitors are put into a holiday mood from the end of June to early September, independent of the weather, and sports activities, competitions, musical entertainment and lots of fun accompany them throughout the summer. Cool drinks and delicious cocktails must not be missed in this setting of course. Holiday flair is also guaranteed at the new JoBeach of the outdoor pool „Jowiese“ (Jo Meadows). The City Beach with palm trees, awnings and deck chairs directly at the Hohnsensee promises a holiday feeling. At the beach bar, cool drinks are to be had and all further fun on land is ensured at the volleyball field. Swimming is permitted in the Hohnsensee, even if the adjoining outdoor pool beckons with its many pools. Pure nature can be enjoyed at Hildesheim‘s Müggelsee Lake – the 20,000 square metres large natural lake has been a favourite among young and old for many decades. With separated swimmers‘ and non-swimmers‘ zones, it is ideal for families. Situated in the forest and connected by hiking trails are the four idyllic lakes of the Duinger ponds in the southern district of Hildesheim. Bathing is permitted in Humboldtsee and Bruchsee. The Humboldtsee is the largest lake and is part of a holiday park facility with camping grounds, restaurant and playgrounds. Surfers and sailors are drawn to Sarstedt-Giften in the summer. The local recreation area „Sarstedter-Giftener Lakes“ invites to strolls and bike rides. Surfing and sailing are popular sports on the lake but requires a permit from the City of Sarstedt. Two barbecue places can be used free of charge and without registration. The only requirement is that the facilities will be left behind in picked-up condition. Holiday flair on JoBeach 17 HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 | Activities in the region – hiking POTTLAND TRAILS F Hiking in the heart of the old pottery region or many centuries, Duingen used to be the centre of the region between Alfeld and Springe at the Deister, and for its expansive pottery production, this region used to be called „Pottland“. Since the middle ages, the potteries have exported „Duinger stoneware“ to the northern European free-trade zone – and even into far away cities like Bergen and Riga. Today, on the six Pottland trails, hikers can discover the region with its rich tradition. 1. The longest loop trail is the panorama trail. On 15.9 kilometres it leads the way on the Ith-Hils hiking path between Marienhagen and Brunkensen. The trail routing on the crest of Duinger Mountain is a special experience – here, the reward is the view over the entire Külftal valley. In good weather the view reaches to Hanover. 2. On the Duinger Loop Trail with a length of 8.5 kilometres, hikers can enjoy a unique view from Duinger Mountain of the valley or the higher peaks of the Ith and Hils. The shut-down clay mines along the trail are home to a very rare and protected species of yellow-bellied toads. The area is a paradise for fossil hunters. 3. The quarry trail is 13.3 kilometres long. The hiker comes along the Weenzer quarry on one side (connection to the Duinger lake region and the geological education path) and the Ith-Hils hiking trail between Duingen and Marienhagen on the other side. 4. The shortest Pottland trail is the Haidkopf path with a length of 4.4 kilometres. From the starting point at the Waldhotel Humboldt, this loop hiking trail leads along the lake Weinberger See. The hiker can return to the Waldhotel via the geological hiking and edu- cation path, which provides information about all important geological units, their genesis, composition and use. 5. The Wiesen path offers a diverse and challenging hiking tour on 13.5 kilometres through a beautiful landscape – from the Duinger lake region to the unique plant world in the meadows up to the glider flying field on the Ith. The nature protection area „Ithwiesen“ (Ith Meadows) is part of one of the largest uninterrupted green areas in the Lower Saxon mountain and hillside region. Particularly precious are the blossoming mountain meadows and other hardly fertilised areas with typical kinds, such as betony, primroses, caraway and devil‘s bit. 6. The sixth Pottland path, the potter path, is 10.6 kilometres long. Between Duingen and Coppengrave, it leads along the edge of the forest, into the Hils/Duinger forest, past the beautifully situated Old Köthe in its wonderful location. It passes the old clay mines, from which extraction continued until 2011. Excursions to the Hilsquelle spring or also to the historical pottery furnace in Coppengrave are well worth it. Königsallee boulevard can be marvelled at with its old oak trees. Also inviting to hikes in the region are the „Königsweg“ (King‘s path) and the „Ith-Hils path“. The 85-kilometres long King‘s path is the historical connection between the estates of former German Kings and Emperors of the middle ages in the northern foothills of the Harz mountain range. The Ith-Hils path impresses on 80 kilometres with romantic fortresses, historic cultural sites, lakes and mysterious caves.

Both distance and theme biking trails and loop trails as well as local biking trails and routes for mountain biking – the Hildesheim region offers biking paths for the most diverse demands. On altogether 380 kilometres of well described and developed routes, those searching for peace, those interested in culture and families with children will find the suitable route in the same way as ambitious athletes. The Leine-Heide biking trail, the biking path to art, the Hildesheimer Ring (HiRing) and the new Innerste bike path are suitable for day tourers. These trails put art, culture, nature and highlights of Hildesheim in centre stage. The 45-kilometres long loop path Hi-Ring runs in front of the city gates of Hildesheim and opens great views of the town, charac- terised by churches and its UNESCO World Heritage site, and into the broader area. Since the summer of 2013, the new Innerste biking trail presents a special experience of the river: from the spring to the mouth. The about 105-kilometres long trail leads along the Innerste from its origin in the Harz mountain range to its entry into the Leine River. On the route, bikers experience a landscape intermezzo of from the low mountain range to the foothills of the high mountain range and also extending to flat river landscapes. Biking tourists get close to special natural areas on the tour, for example the mineral springs or natural protection areas. Moreover, the Innerste biking path allows access to diverse cultural landscapes, such as the landscape charac- terised by mining in the Harz or the testimonies to history at the World Heritage sites. Further qualities of the Innerste biking trail are its good connection to public transport and the connections for example, to the Leine-Heide biking trail, the HiRing or the biking path to art. The almost 58-kilometres long theme trail of the biking path to art connects five partial tours from Sarstedt via Hildesheim to Bad Gandersheim: WaterArt path, Romantic path, Contact-Art path, Art-moves and Sculptures path. There is quite a lot to discover on this tour for those interested in art and cul- i ture. But also nature enthusiasts will find what they appreciate on the long stretches of the mountain ranges, tender valley meadows or the Leine and Innerstetal valleys. Detailed information on the Bike Path to Art can be found on the redesigned website. At www.radweg-zur-kunst.de information can be found for the partial tours, tips and recreational offers as well as tour suggestions and GPS data. The Leine-Heide biking path has a total length of 410 kilometres and connects the low mountain range of the Leinebergland hillsides with the Lüneburger Heide moorlands and the Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The route of about 55 kilometres through the Hildesheim region offers grandiose views onto the Leinetal valley, beautiful half-timber towns, and numerous sights to see en route, such as the Fagus factory in Alfeld, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage since 2011 or Marienburg Castle near Nordstemmen. Those who prefer not to ride by bike up the mountain to the castle, can conquer the ascend on weekends and holidays easily with the Marienburg Castle Express, a small train, departing from the Nodstemmen railway station.

Here tradition conjoins in quite a special way with modernity. Bad Salzdetfurth has a diverse range of recreational offers in stock for visitors – be it for ambitious athletes or those seeking relaxation. BIKE AND OUTDOOR PARK A paradise for biking athletes and joggers – the bike and outdoor park is suitable for the entire family by virtue of its differentiated offers. Riding fun for any age group and meeting any demand is guaranteed. On the five hectares large, in part forested area, the City of Bad Salzdetfurth has designed a permanent cross-country course for mountain bikers and a course for young BMX athletes. With practice course, single trail, north shore, dirt line, slop style and pump track, every biker will find their personal challenge there. Beginners have the opportunity to refine their riding technique on the practice course and improve their control over the bike. Additional mountain bike courses, marked with signs and for differing levels of difficulty, meaning with different uphill climbs, narrow curves, and artificial obstacles run directly through the park. Even experienced riders will still find one or the other surprise here. Leading around the entire premises at the entry to the building zone of Ortberg is a fully developed bicycle trail, which is suitable for the entire family. But also joggers, walkers and strollers can do their rounds here. Since the summer of 2012, the city of Bad Salz- 22 detfurth has created a free of charge training offer for mountain bikers and BMX athletes in the Bike and Outdoor Park, which is probably unique in Northern Germany and also offers attractive training conditions to other recreational athletes besides bicyclists.

For a few years by now, this type of golf facility is clearly in the trend of success. And in Bad Salzdetfurth as well, the recreational attraction is enjoying great popularity since June 2012. 18 holes with completely different designs offer playing fun to big and small golfers and require, in addition to strategy, also a certain measure of luck and visualisation. The facility is integrated harmoniously in the landscape of the spa gardens and the design takes up on particular characteristics of Bad Salzdetfurth. For example, traditional elements of mining can be found around the extensive area. One hole is called „the Mine“ and on an additional one a mining lorry is set up as an obstacle. Putters are used for play on astroturf, which is aproned by a socalled raff, a higher-cut green. Integrated are special obstacles as large stone rocks, tree trunks and water runs. The ball is holed with a maximum of ten strokes. The holes are between 16 to 36 metres long and have strong terrain deformations. The correct reading of these deformations and the matching play strategy account for the particular appeal of this game. Besides a secure swing, visualisation and creativity are required. And experience shows that it is not automatically the grownups who have the better results in adventure golf. Children and youths are not rarely able to top their co-players and simply outperform them. The adventure golf facility is opened year-round. Merely in extreme weather from Decem- ber to March, restrictions must be expected. In the summer months, playing fun is guaranteed until 10 p.m. Special competitions as well as full-moon golfing take place here as well. Adults can put their swings to action on the adventure golf course for 5 euro and children for 3.50. A bistro with indoor and outdoor seating affords the opportunity to celebrate the fought for victory and to relax from i the efforts with a beverage or a snack. Families, company and school groups are very welcome guests.

In our stressful age, it becomes more and more important to find a balance to the hectic daily routine and to relax, yet while also using the possibilities for preventive health care. Brine and moor are nature‘s concentrated healing powers, which find versatile uses to contribute to regeneration, therapy and well-being of the body and the mind. Brine and moor still form the traditional basis today for the wide-ranging wellness and therapy offers of the TherapieZentrums für Naturheilmittel (Therapeutic centre for natural healing) in Bad Salzdetfurth. prepared in a natural process, which means that foreign particles are separated and the presoaked raw material is whisked with water and heated up until a semi-liquid pulp is created. In a moor bath the body relaxes in a tub filled with warm moor pulp at a temperature of about 42°C. When packs are used, the warm moor at a temperature of about 48°C is applied directly on the skin while in a pasty condition, which also makes the significant difference compared to fango mud packs. The soothing effect of brine The healing power of moor As early as in the 16th century, the famous doctor Paracelsus described moor as the „quintessence of life“ and recommended moor as an effective remedy for many illnesses. The moor and its valuable contents of humic acids is used today by the Therapeutic centre for natural healing primarily for diseases such as arthritis, arthrosis, spinal diseases, muscular pains and for rheumatic diseases and gynaecological problems, menstruation pain or as balneotherapy for unfulfilled wishes to have children. Moor baths and moor packs work by activating an increased heat and oxygen exchange through the skin. Moor has positive effects on the immune system and stimulates 24 the metabolism. It has anti-inflammatory and detoxing effects and stabilises the hormone balances. The moor baths and moor packs, which are prepared in the moor department of the Therapeutic centre, consisting of natural low moor extracted from the moors of Luttrum. The natural moor is At the salinas of Bad Salzdetfurth, air with high salt contents has been generated by now for more than 250 years. The air has a soothing effect on the respiratory system without requiring a trip to the sea and coast. Up to seven times a day, even nowadays, the natural brine is led from the main salina out blackthorns, in which process the salt contents can be condensed to around 30 percent through the evaporation of the water When breathing in the salty air during relaxing strolls near the salinas, the respiratory system is moistened with a positive effect on the walls of the respiratory organs. In addition, the fine salt crystals have a secretion-solving effect, which cleans the respiratory system thoroughly from bacteria and reduces the swelling of the mucosa. This has a positive result especially for people allergic to pollen and those suffering from asthma. The healing power of brine has a long tradition in Bad Salzdetfurth. As early as in 1850, a few of the people extracting the salt in Salzdetfurth had the daring idea to not only use the extracted brine with its high mineral contents for salt extraction, but also for healing purposes. In Sulza, in Thuringia, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe recommended the use of the brine for healing purposes already in 1828. While the salinas were originally built to streamline the salt extraction, soon they attracted vacationers to come to Salzdetfurth. They enjoyed the salty air in the area near the mighty structures and discovered the healing aspect particularly for diseases of the respiratory system. TherapieZentrum der Naturheilmittel | URLAUBSMAGAZIN HILDESHEIM 2012 Letting your thoughts drift Healing purposes however are not just one aspect of the positive effects of natural brine. In the brine outdoor and indoor pool facility, located directly at the spa gardens, visitors enjoy the soothing effects, as the human body shows positive reactions to the brine. Doctors speak in this regard of „vegetative reactions“. For example, the salt penetrates the cornea, the protein in the skin cells is increasingly decomposed and the cell splitting rate is increased. A so-called „rejuvenating effect“ sets in. In the normal case, we cannot simply lay in water and let ourselves drift afloat. But because of the water‘s salt contents and the increased updrift swimming is especially easy in the brine pool – contrary to the fresh water pool – in Bad Salzdetfurth. With its warm water at a temperature of 30 to 33°C and its three-percent brine content it makes staying in the water extremely pleasant. The muscles are relaxed, the joints spared, the circulation is stimulated and the blood flow supported. Moreover, the brine pool is not an adventure or fun bath, so you will find peace and quiet here to also let thoughts drift. Time and leisure for oneself Relaxation but also the possibilities for preventive healthcare is offered by the 5-star saunas at the brine, outdoor and indoor pool. Sauna – synonymous with time and leisure for oneself, and means cleansing the body and mind while developing natural beauty – is simply pure wellness. More and more people discover the soothing and healthy effects of taking a sauna. With its five different saunas, from the classic Finnish sauna, to the Kelo earth sauna and the Kelo hexagon sauna, the dry sauna and steam room sauna, a wide spectrum is offered for recovery in a pleasant and quiet setting. A multi-faceted offer of popular massages, such as the aroma oil or hot stone massage and the Ayurveda massages, as well as special baths, such as the dairy or Cleopatra bath, round out the diversity of possibilities to do something good for well-being and wellness. With tradition in the services of health, wellness and well-being For nearly 160 years, Bad Salzdetfurth has been synonymous with relaxation and healing. As early as in 1856, the first bath facility was built and brine was used there for healing purposes for example, for circulatory disorders, skin diseases or modest cardiovascular diseases. Success was not missed and thus, the spa operation was opened in 1857 and in 1868 already the spa building had to be extended for the first time. Nearly 70 years since its founding, the spa building extended several times no longer met the heightened demands of the spa guests. The spa operating company founded in 1925 built the central spa building that exists to this day in 1927/28. Brine and moor – these two highly concentrated healing powers of nature – form even to this date the traditional basis of the therapeutic offers of the Therapeutic centre for natural healing. In combination with other kinds of therapy – and noteworthy here are foremost the physical therapies including traditional massages, connecting tissue massage and underwater massage, lym- i phatic drainage, physical therapy, special back therapy and even light, cold, heat and electrotherapy – moor and brine can be used with great effect.

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 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 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 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, [email protected] 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. 26 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 Exploring towns | HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 CITY TOURS SEGWAY TOURS Extraordinary adventure tours are offered by the Segways. 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. Who would suspect that Alfeld was once the most important animal trade centre of the world? i Hildesheim: www.hildesheim.de/stadtführungen, phone +49 (0)5121 1798-0 Bad Salzdetfurth: www.bad-salzdetfurth.de, phone +49 (0)5063 999-0 Alfeld: www.alfeld.de, phone +49 (0)5181 703-111 i Hildesheim: tourist-information, www.hildesheim.

At the centre of Magdalena‘s Gardens in Hildesheim is the Rosarium – it was renovated according to old plans dating back to the baroque period and is a highlight particularly when the roses are in bloom. Magdalena‘s Gardens are 800 years old and are among the oldest historic gardens of Lower Saxony. It is structured into three areas: the ornamental garden with more than 1,800 roses, lawns and paths for promenading, the fruit garden and a vineyard, which is cultivated by the Wine Convent of Hildesheim. Those who would like to learn more about the rose can visit the neighbouring Rose Museum. Idyllic ponds, benches in protected places, and a very beautiful old tree population characterise the Ernst-Ehrlicher-Park in Hildesheim. Playing and sunbathing lawns around the rose labyrinth make the public park a popular meeting point. Mighty beech trees, chestnuts, oaks, lindens and ponds dominate Park Walshausen near Bad Salzdetfurth. The park has a size of about eight hectares and is designed following the English role model. The Italian villa, the farmhouse, was planned by the Court‘s Architect, Laves of Hannover, and was built in the years 1828/29. The garden is open to the public in the time from 1 May to 31 October on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Very rare tree populations, ponds, a waterfall with grotto and a tea temple situated on the top of a hill make the park of Wrisbergholzen Castle in the municipality of Sibbesse a particular idyll. Also worth seeing is the orangery built in 1860. The park can be visited on the Day of the Open Monument on the second weekend of September. Ponds adorn the picturesque park of Lamspringe Cloister, while the public park is also characterised by modern art. Six sculptures have been created here in 1984 during a sculptors‘ symposium. Artists, who have received a working stipend for a limited time, live and work in the Cloister mills at the edge of the park. Simply letting thoughts drift and relaxing – a stroll through the five hectares large spa gardens in Bad Salzdetfurth is more than promenading past beds of flowers. The major attraction are the 250-year-old salinas, which are responsible for the sea air (see page 24).

At the same time, this order constitutes the Customer‘s binding offer to the contract partner (Organiser) of the contract arranged by us for the conclusion of the contract to be brokered; to this extent, we are empowered to accept declarations and conclude contracts on behalf and in the name of the Organiser. (2) If the order is placed not by electronic means via the NetHotel Portal, it will not yet constitute an offer by the Customer but merely a non-binding inquiry. The Customer‘s offer will then be made on the basis of the documents the Customer sends to us. (3) The conclusion of the contract does not require any specific form. The declarations may be provided in writing, verbally, by telephone, fax or email or otherwise by electronic means. Whenever the order is placed by electronic means, we will immediately confirm the receipt of the order; this confirmation of receipt does not yet constitute an acceptance of the agency contract. (4) The agency contract will in any case only be effectively concluded upon our acceptance declaration. (5) A travel contract in the meaning of the law governing travel contracts will not be established between the Customer and us. We solely act as agents arranging the contract to be concluded between the Customer and Organiser. Mutual rights and duties under the arranged contract solely arise from the relationship between the Customer and the Organiser. Each agency contract placed with us by way of a booking shall apply only as an individual contract. Therefore, a combination of different travel services is not possible. For this reason, an independent and by itself autonomous agency contract shall be established for any additional agency service. The arranged contracts are also independent from each other. The rights and duties based on these contracts remain unaffected from each other. § 2 Liability of the party registering If the Customer registers additional persons besides him or herself for the event, the Customer also accepts the liability for all persons registered by him or herself, insofar as the Customer does not provide an accordant separate statement at the time of placing the order. § 3 Contractual duties under the agency contract (1) Our contractual duties are determined according to the agency contract concluded with the Customer, in the form of an order to effect a transaction in consideration of these General Terms and Conditions, and consist of the execution of the actions required for the performance of the requested agency contract, the associated consulting and provision of the needed travel documents, unless these are sent to the Customer directly by the Organiser. (2) Insofar as we send notices to the Customer, we will only be liable for the correct choice of the source of information and the correct forwarding to the Customer, within the scope of the law and the contractual agreements that were concluded between the Customer and us. The same applies to the provision of information. Any 54 contract for the provision of information in excess thereof that is subject to a contractual central liability for the provision of information may be effected exclusively by express agreement between the Customer and us. § 4 Supplementing provisions for agency services for accommodation (1) General terms 1. The event price shall be paid exclusively to the Organiser. 2. In this respect as well, the mutual rights and duties established between the Customer and Organiser shall be solely determined by the contract arranged by us. The general terms and conditions of the Organiser shall apply, provided these are effectively included in the contract. 3. The provisions set forth in this paragraph in addition, shall only apply to agency services for accommodation provided by the commercial and private Organisers who are linked to our booking system and only to such, which are booked via this system. The Organisers listed in the NetHotel Portal are all linked to the booking system. Exclusively accommodations with these Organisers are the subject of the agency services. These supplementing provisions do not apply to any other agency services. 4. The general terms and conditions of the Organiser shall apply – provided these are effectively included in the contract – and the following provisions shall apply merely in supplementation. (2) Travel time, non-arrival 1. The respective Organiser is only obligated to keep the booked accommodation available until 6:00 p.m. of the booked day of arrival, unless a different arrival time was agreed between the Customer and the Organiser. In the case of a non-arrival, the Organiser will be entitled to provide the accommodation to third parties; in that case, the Customer will lose his or her right to the accommodation. This does not apply if the Customer has given notice of a later arrival when placing the order, or on the day of the arrival, if the order was placed on the same day. 2. If the booked accommodation cannot be occupied by another party, the Organiser will be entitled to request a flat sum of up to 80% of the agreed travel price. The flat sum is measured by the type of the booked accommodation and the requested additional services. 3. The charged flat fee will then be determined depending on the claim of the Organiser against the guest, lesser the expenses ordinarily saved by the Organiser. The Customer will in any case be entitled to provide proof of a lesser damage. (3) Withdrawal (cancellation), change of bookings 1. The Customer may declare its withdrawal from the contract (cancellation) to the Organiser at any time. The declaration shall be given exclusively in the written form. 2. The cancellation is possible free of charge for the Customer until 30 days before the start of travel. Thereafter, the Organiser will be entitled to charge the flat sum incurred for the non-arrival. 3. Requests for changing the booking or cancellations may be directed to us in writing. If it is possible to meet the Customer’s request, the Customer will receive a separate confirmation thereof. Otherwise, the request will be declined. A fee of €5.00 will be charged by us for the change of the booking or cancellation and will be charged on the contract that is affected by the change of booking. 4. Should the original contract have to be cancelled in full or in part General Agency Terms | HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2014 due to a change of booking, the Organiser will be entitled to charge a lump sum for damage incurred through the cancellation or nonarrival. This lump sum will be charged in addition to the fee for changing the booking. relevant for the Customer in the enforcement of his or her claims. (2) We are likewise not obligated to advise the Customer regarding his or her claims against the Organiser or to inform him or her of the observation of deadlines. § 5 Supplementing provisions for agency services for events with event services consisting of guest tours (1) The visitor tours are dependent on a minimum number of participants. We are required to take this into consideration in the scope of our agency service activities. In this respect as well, we act merely as agents arranging the contract to be concluded between the tour guide as the Organiser and the Customer for the respective tour guide service. The contract to be arranged may therefore only be accepted when the required participant number is reached. These tours are hereinafter referred to as “Closed Tours”. (2) Excepted thereof are the city tours regularly offered by Hildesheimer Stadtführer-Gilde e.V., which are separately referred to in the agency service or in the context of the service description. In this case, we are also only agents. The contract for the respective tour guide service will then be concluded between the Customer and the gild, which assigns its members to conduct the tours. These tours are hereinafter referred to as “Open Tours”. (3) Non-participation, withdrawal (cancellation) 1. The Customer may declare its withdrawal (cancellation) to us at any time. Notice may be given exclusively in the written form. Closed Tours may be cancelled free of charge during the opening hours of tourist-information only until one day before the start of the event. Thereafter, or in case the Customer does not appear, the Customer will be obligated to pay the agreed tour guide fee in the full amount. Expenses already paid in advance (e.g. admission fees) or any fees already paid to us that are intended for the Organiser will be refunded to the Customer in the case of a timely cancellation. 2. The fee to be paid to the tour guide for his or her services will become due upon the conclusion of the arranged contract. Admission fees shall be paid – insofar as these are not expressly assumed otherwise in exceptions – by the Customer on site and these fees are not included in the event price. 3. We are authorised in the name and on account of the tour guide arranged by us or the gild to receive the fee from the Customer that was agreed with the Customer. The Customer will receive a written confirmation of receipt for the fee for verification of the payment to the tour guide. The tour guide may only perform his or her services after Customer has presented the confirmation of receipt. 4. Conducting the event is not a highly personal obligation of the tour guide even in the case of the Closed Tours. He or she is entitled without prior information to be substituted by another guest guide. All tour guides arranged by us have to fulfil the service according to the quality requirements agreed with them. The tour guide is obligated to designate persons as his or her substitute, who have been accepted by us for the agency service. § 7 Liability, liability limitation (1) We are not liable for claims based on the contractual relationships arranged by us. This also applies with regard to any defects of the arranged service and property damages and personal injuries, which have been caused to the Customer in connection with the arranged event, unless we have expressly declared our obligation for such. (2) The liability based on the agency contract concluded between us and the Customer remains unaffected thereof. Damages in consequence of slight negligence by us or one of our legal representative or vicarious agents, shall be limited to the damage typical and predictable for the contract, and in amount to three times the event price. Liability for damages based on a violation of essential contractual duties shall be limited to damages based on intent and gross negligence. Liability for personal injury as a result of the agency contract remains unaffected thereof. § 6 Complaints (1) Complaints or other claims arising from the contracts brokered by us shall be made exclusively against the contract party to the arranged contract. A notification to us is specifically not sufficient for compliance with possible deadlines and we are neither entitled to accept notifications to the Organiser in this regard nor obligated to forward documents to the Organiser. We are only obligated on the basis of the agency contract concluded with the Customer to provide the Customer with all information and documents that are § 8 Limitation / Preclusion periods (1) Claims of the Customer based on the agency contract concluded with us shall be asserted against us within one month (preclusion period). The preclusion period will start upon the Customer’s notice of the circumstances giving rise to the claim, at the earliest however upon the end of the contract term of the contract arranged by us. (2) This shall not apply if the Customer is not responsible for having missed the deadline. (3) The assertion of claims against the Organiser does not serve for the observation of the deadline. (4) All claims of the Customer against us will become time-barred within one year (shortened limitation period). Excepted thereof are claims due to prohibited acts. § 9 Data protection The data transmitted to us by the Customer will be recorded, stored and processed electronically and also by way of automated procedure We are authorised to use the data in the scope of our agency contract and to pass it on to the Organisers, insofar as this is required for the fulfilment of the purpose of the contract. § 10 Place of fulfilment, applicable law, place of jurisdiction 1) All legal relationships between us and the Customer are solely governed by German law. (2) Hildesheim or if applicable, the court competent for the City of Hildesheim is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising from the legal relationships between us and the Customer, provided the Customers are businesses, legal entities of private or public law, or persons who have their place of residence or habitual abode abroad, or however whose place or residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time when an action is filed. For the rest, the place of jurisdiction is determined by the legal regulations. § 11 Severability clause Should individual provisions in these General Terms and Conditions be or become fully or partly invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Insofar as a provision has not become part of the contract or to the extent as a provision is invalid, the legal regulations shall apply. 55 ANZEIGE GREAT PERSPECTIVES 1200 years of Hildesheim.
