The wide arched gateway of these buildings, through which the town brewing
vessel was once driven, is testimony to
their former use. The imaginative
ornamentation and carvings on many
of the 400 timber-framed buildings
(of which more than 120 are late
Gothic and Renaissance), the partially
preserved town fortifications with
defence towers, ramparts and ditches or
the churches that are well worth a visit,
vividly document Einbeck's past.

Einbeck, the picturesque town with gems of mediaeval

timber-framed architecture famous for its beer, situated
between the Harz mountains and the river Weser,
invites you to take a journey into the middle Ages.

As a member of the Hanseatic League (1368)

Einbeck was already a thriving merchant town at
the intersection of major trading routes.
The hanseatic town has been able to preserve
its historic timber-framed character virtually
undamaged to the present day.
Einbeck's wealth, acquired through its beer
brewing activities, can still be appreciated
today at every turn. Around 1600 there were more
than 700 houses licensed to brew beer.

Germany's earliest dated

choir stall (1288) in the
Minster of St. Alexander, the museums with
their interesting historical
exhibits and special exhibitions for example,
a collection of rare
historical bicycles
as well as numerous
craft shops offer
further attractions.

Einbeck's broad range

of quality hotels, guest houses
and holiday apartments entice you
to stay longer.
Enjoy relaxed shopping and a stroll
through the town centre with its
historic setting. Explore the beautiful
historic surroundings either by
bicycle or by car.

There's plenty to
keep you entertained. Einbeck
hosts a variety of
events such as the
Einbeck Owl festival,
beer barrel rolling or
the Einbeck music
night. The tourist
information centre is
happy to provide you
with information on current events.

houses enjoy a tasty meal
