Eickesche House, Einbeck

Highlight • Historical Site

The Eickesche Haus in Einbeck's pedestrian zone is a late Renaissance half-timbered house richly decorated with figurative carvings. Today it houses the city tourist information and the cultural ring. (...) The facades of the Eickesches Haus are decorated with rich carvings, which make up the cultural significance of the building. The motifs come from the educational world of humanism, the Reformation and the Renaissance and antiquity. The thresholds of the protruding upper floors, the 51 consoles and the filler wood are decorated with ornamental carvings. The numerous figurative representations on the 42 existing parapet panels show Christ, the four evangelists, the five senses, the planetary deities, the seven liberal arts as well as the virtues (e.g. faith, love, patience or prudence) and the muses (such as Erato, Euterpe, Calliope or Polyhymnia). The eleven apostles, seven warriors and 25 hermen pilasters are depicted in the posts of the window areas above the parapets. There are also 110 carved heads and masks. On the front corner beam, three warrior figures stand on top of each other as atlases, each apparently supporting the floors above them. The Middle Low German inscriptions in the corner area between the cleats on the first floor come from the Proverbs of Solomon and from the 37th Psalm.

Historic Old Town, Einbeck

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1614 a master brewer, probably named Elias Pichler, was lured away by Einbeck to the Hofbräuhaus, who from then on brewed his Ainpöckisch beer in Munich. In the Bavarian dialect, it became the "Oanpock" and over time the name Bock beer. Einbecker beer is the origin of all bock beers.

The Eulenspiegel fountain dates from 1942 and is optically dominant in the middle of the market square in front of the market church, flanked by the town hall, bread house and Ratsapotheke. It is named after Till Eulenspiegel, a previous guest.
(Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marktplatz_Einbeck#Eulenspiegel-Brunnen)
It is historically rather doubtful whether Eulenspiegel actually stayed in Einbeck. According to legend, he is said to have apprenticed to brewery and received the order there to throw hops into the brewing kettle. But instead of the hops, he allegedly threw the master brewer's dog named "Hopf" into the kettle.

Brodhaus Einbeck

Highlight • Restaurant

The Brodhaus Einbeck is the oldest inn in Lower Saxony since 1378. It is right in the heart of Einbeck, across from the old town hall.
The restaurant is very cozy and the drinks and food in the historic city are appropriate.

Knochenturm (Bone Tower), Einbeck

Highlight • Historical Site

bone tower
The object known today as the Bone Tower is, as historical sources clearly indicate, a powder tower. The name bone tower was not built until the year 1890, when one part of the city wall was removed during the construction of the north-south pen road and also destroyed numerous burials of the cemetery north and east of the Minster St. Alexander Cathedral. The bones of the destroyed burials were stored for a short time in the powder tower, giving it its new name. (...)
