Tips from the Community
The combination indicated in the highlight name may seem unusual, but it is correct. So, in order: In the early centuries AD, this area was part of the Roman Empire, and excavations on the site of the present-day Erlöserkirche revealed the remains of a Roman Villa Rustica. The foundation walls can be viewed on site, and a museum directly next to the church displays finds from the excavations. More than one and a half millennia after the era of the Villa Rustica, i.e., in the early 20th century (1911 to 1913), the still existing Protestant Erlöserkirche was built here. Its construction dates back to Kaiser Wilhelm and his wife. The rich decoration with mosaic depictions makes this house of worship unique.

In the long-gone days of our grandparents, a central bakehouse was common for the village community. In many places, these were eventually demolished. Here in Bolsdorf, however, it has been preserved and still bears witness to the old days.
