G The wide arched gateway of these buil-

dings, 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 preserveits 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 bee r.

Germany's earliest dated 

choir stall (1288) in the

Minster of St. Alexan-

der, the museums with

their interesting historical exhibits and special exhi-

bitions – for example,

a collection of rare

historical bicycles – 

as well as numerouscraft shops offer 

 further attractions.
