Brühl — Historic Half‑Timbered Street, Hildesheim

Highlight • Historical Site

The half-timbered district southeast of downtown Hildesheim gives an impression of what the city might have looked like in the Middle Ages. Between the streets Gelber Stern, Hinterer Brühl, Lappenberg and Kesslerstraße, the old half-timbered houses east of the St. Godehard basilica give the impression of how the city looked at the end of the 19th century.

St. Michael's Church

Highlight • Religious Site

As one of the highlights among Hildesheim's sights, St. Michael's Church rises up, which can already look back on 1,000 years of consecration, near the historic city center. Together with the Mariendom (Cathedral of Mary), it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985. Its slightly elevated location, the thick towers and walls give the former Benedictine monastery something of a fortress – mighty on the outside, harmonious on the inside.

The three-nave basilica is one of the most important preserved churches in the Ottonian, i.e., pre-Romanesque or early Romanesque architectural style. You will feel the special atmosphere of this sacred gem. Don't forget to look up in the church – a significant focus is the monumental ceiling painting from the 13th century in the church's nave: the family tree of Christ is depicted on 1,300 oak boards.

Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The city administration is located in the Hildesheim town hall. The core of the Gothic sandstone building was created around 1325, but like so many other things it was destroyed in the night of the bombing of World War II in 1945 and rebuilt.
