At the foot of the Mühlenwall, on the corner of Bismarckstraße and Benser Straße, stands the Einbeck War Memorial. It commemorates the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. It was inaugurated on September 3, 1876, during the Sedan Day celebrations. Originally, the approximately eleven-meter-high monument stood in the middle of the market square. In 1942, it had to make way for the Eulenspiegel Fountain and was relocated. The design of the memorial, constructed of sandstone and limestone, comes from the Einbeck architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase.

The Diek Tower is part of Einbeck's town fortifications and forms part of the southern ramparts near the former Benser Gate. The massive round tower was built around the year 1500. It owes its name to Heinrich Diek, the son of an Einbeck patrician. He was later accused of starting the great town fire of 1540. As punishment, he was imprisoned in a cage and later executed.

The Romanesque former monastery church of St. Blaise and Mary significantly shapes the appearance of the town of Fredelsloh. After the dissolution of the Augustinian Canons' Convent and later the Canons' Convent (founded in 1132) as a result of the Reformation, the large Romanesque basilica became too large for the congregation and was structurally divided inside. As a result, it appears complete from the outside, but somewhat peculiar on the inside. 😉

Unfortunately, it's probably closed for the longer term. 🤷‍♂️

Towards the end of a tour, it becomes clear who has trained... or not.

The tower owes its name to the arsonist Heinrich Diek, who was punished by being placed alive in the cage in 1540. An interesting photo opportunity and a must-see on any city tour.

The saltworks are still in operation and make a lovely stop on any bike ride through the town. Across the street is the "Esel" (Eagle's Nest), a venue for special musical events. (Kultur im Esel e.V.)

Worth a tour
