Beautiful view of Wittmar. Behind the hill is the village which has numerous things to offer. Among other things, a café and a snack bar with delicious food at fair prices.

🃏 Between silence and mischief: The chapel on the Eulenspiegel Cycle Route This place is a real highlight for history and legend fans! The small St. John's Chapel (also known as the "Chapel of Love") is the last remnant of the lost village of Wittmar. It is idyllically situated on the slope of the Asse and offers a wonderful break of tranquility. 🌳🏛️ Right next to it, you'll encounter Till Eulenspiegel: One of the stations on the Eulenspiegel Cycle Route tells one of his stories here. Wittmar is located in the heart of "Eulenspiegel Land" – his birthplace Kneitlingen is just a short bike ride away. My tip: Definitely take a look at the green information boards. They not only explain the legend but also the exciting history of the chapel, which was once a place of pilgrimage. From here, you also have a great view over the northern foothills of the Harz! 🏔️🚲

There are no records of the construction of the Groß Denkte church. Legend tells that it was built from the stones of the Asseburg Castle, which was destroyed in the early Middle Ages. An original document from Pope Innocent III from 1206 confirms the transfer of the Groß Denkte property, including the church, to the Bad Gandersheim Abbey. Thus, the church existed long before the Reformation. Until secularization in 1803, the abbesses of the Bad Gandersheim Abbey were the local rulers of Groß Denkte. Therefore, the Groß Denkte coat of arms also features the crosier, for "life is good under the crosier." This was a peasant saying in the Middle Ages, as the clerical authorities were considerably more lenient than the secular lords when it came to collecting taxes and duties. There is evidence that the church was robbed during the Schmalkaldic War (1546/47). During the Second World War, Groß Denkte and the church, including its then-spire, were severely damaged in a British bombing raid on January 14, 1944. This raid was originally intended to have targeted Braunschweig. Due to a lack of materials, the destroyed roof structure could not be rebuilt until 1948. After its complete restoration, the church was finally consecrated on the third Sunday of Advent in 1956. On the first Sunday of Advent in 2003, an organ by organ builder Amadeus Junker from Meinersen was consecrated. The congregation had saved up for it for decades, having had to make do with a makeshift instrument since 1956. No name for the Groß Denkte church appears in old records. More recent research suggests it could possibly be "St. Peter and Paul." After the renovation of the church tower, the congregation would like to give their church a name and is therefore continuing to follow old traces.
