to Höxter on the east side of the Weser, then across and a detour to the monastery

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 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. 🤷‍♂️

Attention: As of August 10, 2025, the trip will be discontinued from midday due to the low water level!

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

The Luther Church stands in the center of Holzminden and is reliably open during the summer months. Documentary evidence suggests that a church building stood on this site as early as the 11th century. The church may originally have been dedicated to Mary, as suggested by a stone on the southwest corner of the tower dating from 1506. This stone bears the inscription "MDVI Maria." This name was likely forgotten during the Reformation. With the incorporation of the village of Altendorf in 1922, the church, previously known simply as the town church, received the name Luther Church, which it still bears today.

Nice back road.
