Damm Street, Hornburg

Highlight • Historical Site

In Dammstrasse there are a number of renaissance and baroque houses that are well worth seeing, including the early baroque hop store with its gable-facing side and artistic network framework with original. House 20, a renaissance half-timbered house built in 1569, served as a school for the Jewish community from 1761 to 1810. A baroque synagogue stood behind the house until 1924, which is now rebuilt in the “Jewish Museum” in the Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum. At the end of Dammstrasse is the Dammtor.

Hagenmühle Watermill

Highlight • Monument

Nothing is ground here. The modernized water wheel still serves the power generation. The Hagenstraße should be included in a city tour. Very contemplative, in the summer very nice along the Mühlenilse. There are also very low doors. Were the people so small or was the road raised so the doors had to be cut?

Former Inner German Border Near Osterode

Highlight • Historical Site

Witnesses of the time and history of Germany. The importance is made clear in many places on the former border, the isolation between the FRG and the GDR as well as the reunification of Germany.

Hessendamm Border Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

Very emotional place, I think! In this day and age we should all become aware that we should live freedom.
