Göttingen Synagogue Memorial

Highlight • Monument

The work by artist Corrad Cagli consists of triangles that gradually decrease in size towards the top, based on the basic motif of the Star of David, forming a pyramid that is twisted inward due to axial shifts. The sunken space beneath the sculpture is accessible. Since the memorial's erection, Göttingen residents have gathered annually on November 9, the anniversary of the November Pogrom of 1938, at the synagogue square to commemorate the murdered Jews and other victims of the National Socialist dictatorship.

Odilien Mill (Little Mill) on the Leine Canal, Göttingen

Highlight • Monument

The Leine Canal branches off water from the Leine south of the Kiessee and directs it through the city. This water was used, among other things, to drive mills with an undershot water wheel. Some of the names of the mills have survived to this day: Walkemühle, Stegemühle, ... and also the Odilienmühle, which is also called "Little Mill".

Albaniwall Promenade, Göttingen

Highlight • Trail

Göttingen's green belt around the old town has held a special fascination for generations. In every season, from the delicate green in spring, to the lush foliage in summer, to the red-brown-golden autumn. The wall is exciting even in winter, because then you can really see the mighty giant trees. Should snow fall and exceptionally remain, the wall is a dream in white.

Deutsches Theater Göttingen

Highlight • Monument

The Deutsches Theater (DT) is a playhouse in Göttingen, built in 1890. It is the largest theater in Göttingen. After the major fire at the old city theater on the Neuer Markt, today's Wilhelmsplatz, on the night of January 10-11, 1887, the citizens of Göttingen agreed on the need for a new, dignified theater building. On July 18, 1887, the city council decided to build the theater between the Royal Gymnasium (today's Max Planck Gymnasium) and the Göttingen Wallanlagen in the eastern district. Fears (which reached the district president and the minister of culture) that the theater's proximity would pose a moral threat to the students of the Gymnasium proved to be unfounded. The theater was built in 1889 and 1890 as a replica of the Oldenburg Grand Ducal Court Theater by architect Nierenheim, based on the plans of the Oldenburg court architect Gerhard Schnitger, as a stone building in the Neo-Renaissance style.

Between 1958 and 1963, Götz George, who later became nationally known as the crime scene detective "Schimanski," played at the DT.

The special tour of Göttingen's vaulted cellars is truly something special. In the cellars beneath the city, you learn a wealth of interesting facts about life from the 15th to the 19th centuries. We stood in a mikveh, a Jewish purification bath, in a medieval boiler room from which the city's senators were personally heated up under their robes, in …
