    by Mariajoy
    The hospital was founded in 1433 by the Quedlinburger robe tailors "All misery to utility and pious" - seems to be their motto - Hmmm... a jolly bunch then those robe tailors (or maybe something is lost in translation ;-)). Anyway, after extensive rehabilitation in 2000/2001, it has now been made into dwellings suitable for the elderly.

    Through a Quedlinburg arch...
    by Colzy
    Inarguably, the best thing about Quedlinburg is Quedlinburg itself. It has 1200 half timbered houses dating back 8 centuries and street after cobbled street its beautiful. Get lost and explore.

    The tourist information office is located in the main square and they will provide you with a free map. Quedlinburg is really not too big though so I just walked in whatever direction took my fancy and didnt worry too much about being able to find my way back and voila suddenly I had weaved my way back to the centre of town If I can do it anybody can do it, trust me!

  • The Rathaus - Quedlinburg
    The Rathaus
    by Colzy
    The Rathaus, built in 1320 is a beautiful addition to the medieval centre and well worth a closer inspection. There is a Roland statue on the left hand side of the Rathaus that dates back from 1426, the year Quedlinburg joined the Hanseatic league. This Roland is minus the chastity belt that is on its counterpart in Bremen. The small hound above the entrance is the citys symbol and is said to protect all those who enter.

    Castle district
    by Colzy
    The castle district was established during the reign of Heinrich 1, 919-936. The Renaissance Schloss dates from the 16th century and it is from this vantage point there are some very nice views of the city.

    Dont catch the Bimmelbahn up to the schloss walk and take in all of the towns cobbled streets and splendour.

    Coming through that
    gate...
    by Sjalen
    Quedlinburg's smallest street is in fact a small alley and started off as the shoemakers' yard. You find it just off the market square where you enter a "gate" and end up in a small yard with more half-timbered houses. Some have book shops and such and it is all very pretty. Several houses have doors which close at the base to keep animals out but which have an open top half so that the residents could talk to passing people. People were coloquially known as "klön" which is why the doors are called Klön-Türen. You can see another picture under my hotel tip which also shows the wooden counters that the shoemakers could fold up to use as window shutters at night.

    In many places in this part of Germany you will find the statue of Roland with his raised sword - the Knight of Charlemagne. This one from the 15th Century is outside the Rathaus.

    Also towering high up on the Schlossberg is the castle built by Heinrich I. After his death, it was kept by his queen Mathilde and women in general had a strong influence in Quedlinburg throughout history. As you approach the hill, you can see how the sandstone below is withering away and if you read German, you might want to click on the link below to see that the whole hill is in fact in danger and that you can contribute towards restoration work being done to stop that. The castle today houses a museum with all sorts of things related to its history.

    Legend (and a memorial plaque) has it that this is the very place where the Saxon duke Heinrich received the German regals as told of in a famous song by Vogl. Hence Quedlinburg has the honour of being where the German "First Reich" was created.

    The cosy and unique 17th century Speicher Building is the setting for this museum where you can see painted glass but also take part in workshops or paint your own mug yourself if you are a whole family. When it has dried, you come back to pick it up. To do that, please call the number below to make sure they can arrange it that particular day. Children will also like the colour and light exhibition.
