Cycling

In the Middle Ages, the imposing Pferdebergwarte towered on the highest peak of the Pferdeberg, an important part of the Duderstadt Landwehr and an integral part of the city's defense system. The first written mention of this defense system can be found in the city's accounting book (Annale) from 1445, where it is referred to as the "Horse Guard". It is believed to have been built towards the end of the 14th century, while Duderstadt was embroiled in a feud with Hans von Osterode.
