Hammerschmiede Distillery

Highlight • Structure

Well known in our area - high quality drinks! Even a tasting with prior registration is possible - but then your legs will be heavy.

Former Children's Home in Borntal

Highlight • Historical Site

The children's home in Borntal, also known as the Bremen children's home or Bremen children's home, was a children's convalescent home consisting of several buildings in Bad Sachsa in the Harz Mountains.

It was built in 1936 by a foundation from Bremen for children from Bremen and continued to be run by the National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV) from 1938 onwards.

After the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944, more than forty children from the families of resistance fighters were held in the home as collective custody.
