Stiftsherrenhaus, Hamelin
Highlight • Historical Site
The merchant and then Mayor Friedrich Poppendieck built the canon's house in 1558.
Like the Leisthaus, the Stiftsherrenhaus has a façade richly decorated with ornaments and figures. In addition to various ancient planetary gods, a myriad of Christian motifs can be found.
This mass of religious symbolism was then attributed only to an influential canon, which ultimately gave the house its name.
Since 1975, a bridge connects the canons house with the Leisthaus. In addition to the museum café, part of the Hameln Museum is also located on the upper floors of the convent house. The bridge connects this part of the museum with the rest of the museum.

Old Market Street, Hamelin
Highlight • Historical Site
In the Middle Ages, the entire district between the Old and New Market Streets was called “The New Market”. It is assumed that the enlargement of the city - the creation of the new town - compared to the original monastery settlement is the reason for the name.
In an old city map from 1761, today's Alte Marktstrasse is still called "The New Old Market". This is probably intended to express the older age of this part of the New Market.
