Until 6.9. there is still a Burgdorf/Hannover exhibition about the 70s to see with some pieces that transported me back to that time 😊 In the entrance area there is a piggy bank, which you are welcome to feed, as everything there is voluntary 👍

I'm curious what will happen to the building now that the church had to sell it...

Unfortunately, it has still been covered with scaffolding for years. ...and unfortunately, they didn't get Christo to 'cover' it, even though they tried to make it a bit more presentable...

My picture from the opening of the Lights Weeks for Advent should be considered historic, as Town Hall I (out of a total of V !!! in Burgdorf) has been fenced off for several years for a major renovation. Currently, not even the carillon, which is mounted on the gable facing Marktstraße (or was 🤔), can be heard.

The path between the outdoor pool and the railway line has now been channeled with fences; previously, it was easier to reach the abandoned tracks to inspect them. The local people called the railway line 'Kasparbahn', but it was actually called 'Burgdorfer Kreisbahnen' and is a relic from the times of potash mining around Burgdorf.
