Former Lung Clinic Diekholzen

Highlight • Historical Site

The buildings, constructed around 1940, housed forced laborers and prisoners of war from the Diekholzen munitions factory on the site of the former potash mine in the Hildesheim Forest. After the war, the facility became a tuberculosis clinic. The resulting pulmonology clinic was closed in 2018.

From Diekholzen, you can quickly reach the observation tower. The route is not strenuous and is enjoyable.

Here you can have a good rest, eat something or buy a cold drink in summer. There is also the key to the tower.
