ランゲスハイムのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

The church was built in ten months from 1907 to 1908. Its model was the much older stave churches of Norway. Prof. Karl Mohrmann, consistorial master builder of the Hanoverian regional church, drew inspiration from Nordic churches, but adapted the size and design to the needs of the congregation. Thus, the Hahnenklee Stave Church, with its 240 seats, is larger than its Norwegian counterparts, and the relatively large windows allow plenty of light into the interior. The local craftsmen used spruce wood from the surrounding area as building material, which also made construction more cost-effective than the originally planned neo-Gothic brick structure. Many elements of the architectural style are reminiscent of shipbuilding, even somewhat of Viking ships with their numerous dragons on the roof and in the decorations. The chandelier is modeled after a ship's wheel.

The famous composer's retirement home was here in Hahnenklee, where not only is he commemorated, but plaques are embedded in the ground commemorating the winners of the Paul Linke Prize. Right next to it is the fountain, beautifully decorated with a rooster.

The Scandinavian stave church, built in 1908, was modeled on the church in Borgund. Today, the church is known beyond the Harz region and is a magnet for visitors.

Impressive terrain for running. Lots of small hidden trails to the left and right of the main hiking trail.

A piece of Norway in the Harz Mountains! The Hahnenklee Stave Church was modeled and built on the world-famous model, the Stave Church in Borgund. A very impressive church: both inside and out! During the visit you can listen to an informative audio tour. However, I would prefer it if you could borrow headphones for a nominal fee instead of having to listen to it all the time. The church can be visited from Monday to Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The service takes place on Sundays at 11 a.m. The church, built in 1908, is (in my opinion) one of the most beautiful wooden churches in Germany. There is another stave church in the Harz Mountains: the Stave Church in Stiege. Another wooden church is not far from Hahnenklee: the Market Church of the Holy Spirit in Clausthal-Zellerfeld.
