The best running trails in Naturschutzgebiet Am Heeder Moor

A new building was constructed in 1904/05 to replace an older town hall, likely built in 1789. The three-story, brick-clad, historicist corner building, with its hipped and gable roofs, side gable projection, segmental and round-arched openings, profiled wooden windows, eaves frieze, stringcourses, bay windows, balconies, and slender corner tower with a tall spire and large gate for horse-drawn carriages, served as the town hall until 1985. Until 1927, it was used as a post office with an attached town hall, along with the local police station and two jail cells. Today, it hosts art exhibitions and events (Old Council Chamber). The county's Europe Direct Information Center was also located on the upper floor until 2011. [2][3] ] The State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments determined: “…historical significance within the context of Diepholz’s local history…” The new town hall of Diepholz, built in 1985, is located at Rathausmarkt 1.

The Old Town Hall, built in 1904/05, is a charming building with bay windows, turrets, and a beautiful brick Gothic gable. A half-timbered town hall was built on this site as early as 1789. After its demolition, the current Art Nouveau building was constructed and inaugurated on November 16, 1905. https://www.stadt-diepholz.de/portal/seiten/diepholz-erleben-und-entdecken-900000276-21770.html

The Moorweg in the Aschener Moor, abbreviated in technical terms to Pr VI, is a prehistoric moor path that was originally 4.2 km long and runs through the Aschener Moor west of Aschen in the Diepholz district of Lower Saxony. It was probably built in the pre-Roman Iron Age around 46 BC and is one of the longest plank paths in northwest Germany.[1] The path construction has been preserved to this day due to the favorable preservation conditions for organic material in the moor. Large parts of the path have been destroyed by mechanical peat extraction up to the present day. A remnant of around 350 meters in the subsoil of an untouched moor area has been permanently preserved in the center of the moor. At the edge of the path, a 950 m long barrier-free footbridge with a viewing platform built between 2019 and 2021 runs along the course of the former moor path. It is intended to make the prehistoric moor path and the moor accessible to tourists.

Great path and a great view of the moor 😊👍

Six-meter-high steel pipes, reminiscent of pick-up sticks, support 32 painted, decommissioned traffic signs. These signs, painted by various artists last year, were originally displayed in the city park as part of the "Art in the City" project. The artwork is located on the grounds of the "House by the Water," a facility run by Lebenshilfe Grafschaft Diepholz e.V. Artists: Ulrich Halfpap and others, 2022, steel and concrete primer

Until 1927 it was used as a post office with an attached town hall, along with the local police and two holding cells. Today art exhibitions and events take place here (Old Council Hall). The district's European information center (Europe direct) was also housed on the upper floor until 2011.[2][3] The State Monuments Office found: “…historical significance in the context of the local history of Diepholz….”

The old town hall on Langen Strasse: “Prussian” is the name given to the architectural style in which our old town hall was predominantly built in 1904/05. In addition, there are medieval elements such as bay windows, turrets and the gable reminiscent of brick Gothic.
