There are many medieval backstreets in Goslar full of half-timbered houses to discover. Don't be afraid to venture off some of the more travelled paths and lose yourself in this little town. I promise you will stumble upon some absloute gems.... Walking around a town has to be one of my favourite ways to see a place, its inexpensive and good exercise, so what's stopping you?
The photo pictured is one such valuable jewel I found in Goslar's crown...
The Frankenberger church has always had a close connection with the miners. The Rammelsberg mines are close. Its bells used to toll the miners' work shifts. The church belonged to a convent of nuns.
Its imposing location on a steep hill on the edge of the old town is best viewed from the southern side, from the street Am Beek (photo 1). The majestic western front (photo 2) was part of the town's fortification. The formerly two steeples were torn down in the late 18th century and substituted by the bell-shaped top.
The church is closed during the winter months, so I could not get in. Access is through the convent gate (photo 3) from Frankenberger Plan, the pretty triangular square below (photos 4 and 5).
A building of specific historic significance is located in the "Schreiberstrasse" in Goslar - the red-orange, half-timbered "Siemenshaus". Since 1689 it was the residence of the Siemens family that later established the Siemens company, one of the most important enterprises in Germany. 1778 the family sold the house, but they reaquired it in honour of family history at a later date.
The day after we arrived in Hamburg, Johannes drove us to Goslar to meet his parents. This was indeed a lovely day and even though we only spent one day in Goslar we did manage to see quite a bit of the area. We did not do any shopping here but we did go on a walking tour of the historic town center and we also went for a drive in the Hartz Mountains and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
Goslar is a one thousand year old town nestled up close to the Hartz Mountains. Two of Goslar's annual festivals are the "Altstadfest" a festival for singing, street players & bands. The other is "Schuetzenfest" their marksmen's festival. Goslar's Oker Valley offers a variety of activities from hikes through the mountains, or wild-water-canoeing on the Oker River as well as the winter sport resort, Hahnenklee.

Q: Quedlinburg or Goslar "Quedlinburg or Goslar - If you could only visit one. Which one would it be and why?"
A: "Quedlinburg I think - but that's because I visited Goslar more as a child on the western side of the wall. But yes, it is so unspoilt compared to the former western..."
