The red sandstone bridge on Ivenstraße spans the Krumme Wasser (Crooked Water). The striking bridge, with its two flattened pointed arches, was built in the 16th century and was part of the former military road between Einbeck, Alfeld, and Hanover. It was thus situated on an important route for goods and travelers between southern German cities and the Hanseatic cities in the north. Today, the bridge is a popular subject for photographs by the water.

The Stiftsgarten (Abbey Garden) is located on the northeastern edge of Einbeck's old town. In this green oasis in the heart of the city, you can spend some relaxing time – whether by the pond with its romantic fountain, in the Generations Garden with its play and fitness stations, or on the many paths that wind through the park.

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.

Because so many crows once nested there, it was long known as the "Crow Tower." With the arrival of other feathered inhabitants, it was renamed the Stork Tower. It is part of the rampart system around Einbeck, which was completed around the year 1300 and was then about two kilometers long, and has been extensively renovated in recent years.

Einbeck's ramparts were first documented in 1264. Where the former ring of fortifications once encircled the town, there is now a park. The two ponds at Bäckerwall are remnants of the outer city moats that protected the town until the 18th century. Today, it's a pleasant place to relax.

A great city, the streets and alleys are fantastic!

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.
