Tips from the Community
A special highlight of the municipality of Rhumspringe is the Rhumequelle. It springs from an idyllic location and is one of the largest and most water-rich karst springs in Europe.

Most of the bridges could be used for the cycle path, so cyclists and hikers have a green route with little gradient available. Only in Rhumspringe does the official route lead through the town – the most beautiful, but undeveloped viaduct on the route is left to one side.

The present parish church is at least the third church in Rüdershausen. The massive church, which survived the Thirty Years' War (1618-48) for another 200 years, may have been built at the end of the 15th century. When the old church was built, Rüdershausen had 200 inhabitants. By 1800, this number had already grown to 600, and by the time the current church was being built (1866), the village had 1,000 Catholics. The old church had become far too small for the growing congregation. This was in addition to the poor condition of the church, which had become dilapidated due to age and was now over 350 years old. To save costs, the parish council (established in 1849) initially decided to build a replica of the church in Nesselröden, which had been newly constructed in 1853. Ultimately, however, the architect Tochtermann in Hildesheim was commissioned to design a new church in Rüdershausen. The construction of the present-day church in Rüdershausen, designed by the architect Tochtermann from Hildesheim, was significantly influenced by the hardworking and skilled craftsmen of Rüdershausen. History tells us that the village actively participated in the rapid progress of the construction; many farmers, with their horse-drawn carts, worked day in and day out to transport the heavy stones from Ebergötzen and Herzberg (train station), in all kinds of weather. The parish itself raised the costs for the church, in addition to providing labor and draft animals. The church's builder, Dean Spieker, was unfortunately no longer in Rüdershausen at the time of the consecration. Thus, his successor, Dean Theodor Vollmer, as the new parish priest of Rüdershausen, was responsible for the church's consecration on May 3, 1874. Unfortunately, no contemporary accounts of the actual consecration ceremony of St. Andrew's Church have survived. Given the large number of local craftsmen and farmers involved in the construction of this magnificent church (the "Cathedral of the Eichsfeld"), the village of Rüdershausen could be proud of this successful building erected to the glory of God, and they duly celebrated and honored it. The church gradually acquired its present appearance in the following years. Source: https://www.sankt-sebastian-rhumspringe.de/kirchorte/st-andreas-ruedershausen/

The bridge was part of the Leinefelde–Wulften railway line, also known as the Lower Eichsfeld Railway. The Wulften–Duderstadt section was opened on November 1, 1889.

Nickname "Bimmelbrücke": The bridge got its popular name because the train constantly rang its bell ("bimmelte") when crossing the iron Oder bridge to warn of the many unguarded level crossings.

Suddenly, the "rich and the beautiful" are running around there. Opinions may differ as to the purpose of this in terms of sports and nature conservation. But you should definitely see a green like this. Although I find the request to get to safety when you hear the call "FORE" to be absolutely outrageous. The bike path runs along the edge of the golf course and is a public dirt road. Then golfers should put up safety nets or move the sport far enough away from the road so that no one is endangered. The path was there long before the golf course!
