ディープホルツ周辺のおすすめシティハイキング＆ウォーキング

Located near the castle, the mint, and St. Nicholas Church, the Clothmaker's House at Lohnstrasse 2 is part of the city's historic core. Settlement on Lohnstrasse dates back to the 16th century. Presumably, living space in the old town was no longer sufficient, necessitating the construction of 26 houses in the street on Lohne Island, which was then called the "New Town." The name Lohnstrasse was not officially adopted until 1834. At that time, the river that gave the street its name was not called the Lohne but rather the Lohn or the Lohnstrom. House number 2 is first documented in 1688 as "Bödecker's House," which the master glazier Hermann Osthagen had purchased from Bödecker. From 1695 onwards, the clothmaker Friedrich Schröder lived there, followed by other clothmaker families, and later also a master shoemaker, a farmer, and a coachman. Clothmakers also lived and worked at times in the other houses on Lohnstrasse. Except for house number 13, which was demolished at the end of the 1950s, the old building fabric is largely preserved. www.tuchmacher-haus.de

When the weather is nice, you can sit outside in the Gänsemarkt (Goose Market) and take a break at Café Vitaly. There's also a globe fountain and a humming stone. Put your head inside and give it a try! The bronze sculpture "Diepholz Geese," created in 1988, is by the artist Heike Walter.

A new building was constructed in 1904/05 to replace an older town hall, likely built in 1789. The three-story, brick-clad, historicist corner building, with its hipped and gable roofs, side gable projection, segmental and round-arched openings, profiled wooden windows, eaves frieze, stringcourses, bay windows, balconies, and slender corner tower with a tall spire and large gate for horse-drawn carriages, served as the town hall until 1985. Until 1927, it was used as a post office with an attached town hall, along with the local police station and two jail cells. Today, it hosts art exhibitions and events (Old Council Chamber). The county's Europe Direct Information Center was also located on the upper floor until 2011. [2][3] ] The State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments determined: “…historical significance within the context of Diepholz’s local history…” The new town hall of Diepholz, built in 1985, is located at Rathausmarkt 1.

The Old Town Hall, built in 1904/05, is a charming building with bay windows, turrets, and a beautiful brick Gothic gable. A half-timbered town hall was built on this site as early as 1789. After its demolition, the current Art Nouveau building was constructed and inaugurated on November 16, 1905. https://www.stadt-diepholz.de/portal/seiten/diepholz-erleben-und-entdecken-900000276-21770.html
