Neuwerk Church and Cloister Garden, Goslar

Highlight • Religious Site

The nunnery was founded in the 12th century outside of Goslar's medieval city fortifications. This also included the collegiate church “St. Maria in Horto" (Holy Mary in the Rose Garden), today called Neuwerkkirche.

A popular photo motif 📷 for locals and guests of the city of Goslar - even before the whole "selfie cult" broke out. 😉

Weber Tower, Goslar

Highlight • Historical Site

Legend of the Weaver's Tower and the Devil's Tower:
It happened around the year 1280 that Count Siegfried von Blankenburg went to Goslar to steal the cattle of the town's citizens. This sacrilegious act failed and the count was captured. As punishment, he had to build a tower on the northern part of the town wall.


This building, now known as the Weaver's Tower, did not meet the expectations of the Goslar councilors. Siegfried von Blankenburg had no choice but to build another tower in the town fortifications. He did this amid loud protests and uttering horrible curses: "So another tower shall be built in the name of the devil!"

That is why this second tower is now called the Devil's Tower.

Devil's Tower, Goslar

Highlight • Historical Site

Tell about the Weaver and the Devil Storm:
It was around the year 1280 that Count Siegfried von Blankenburg moved to Goslar to steal cattle from the citizens of the city. This outrageous act failed and the count was captured. As a punishment, he had to erect a tower on the northern part of the city wall.
This building called Weberturm today did not correspond to the ideas of the Goslar councilors. Siegfried von Blankenburg thus had no choice but to build another tower in the city fortification. He did so under loud protest and the emission of hideous curses: "So in the devil's name a tower should be built!"


That is why this second tower today bears the name Teufelsturm.

Kluskapelle on the Klusfelsen

Highlight • Natural Monument

Few people suspect that the area around the town of Goslar in the Harz Mountains was already settled in the Stone Age. Besides typical cave dwellings and ancient steps, there is also a rock carved with cup marks. In short – everything points to use since the Stone Age.

A Christian chapel was established in one of the cave dwellings as early as the Middle Ages.

St. Stephani Church, Goslar

Highlight • Religious Site

In the east of the old town of Goslar stands the Stephanikirche in the former residential area of the merchants, craftsmen and arable citizens. It was named after St. Stephen, the Christian arch-martyr from the early church in Jerusalem, who was stoned for his belief in Jesus Christ. There was already a Romanesque basilica on this site in the 12th century. Like the entire district, this fell victim to a devastating city fire in 1728.
Shortly after this tragedy, the residents of Goslar began building a new church. Today's three-aisled hall church was built in the Baroque style, which was inaugurated in 1734.
In the Stephanikirche, the carved pillars of the organ gallery, the altar wall from the 18th century and the pulpit are particularly worth seeing. A guided tour of the church is possible by appointment.
