Pöhlde–Herzberg am Harz Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The cycle path connects the district of Pöhlde with the town of Herzberg am Harz. The path is mostly paved and follows a former railway line until just before Herzberg. From there, the rest of the route runs on an asphalted farm track that ends at the entrance to Herzberg at the Eisanbahn bridge.
You can branch off the path both in the Pöhlde area and further north, near the old railway bridge over the Oder. Heading west to Hattorf or Gieboldehausen. Heading east to Scharzfeld or Königshagen. Heading south, the cycle path continues on the former railway line to Rhumspringe.

Market Square (Anger), Herzberg am Harz

Highlight • Settlement

Herzberg has corners that are characterized by industry and road traffic. But it's idyllic here. From here it is only a short walk to the pedestrian zone, which has seating, restaurants and shops for provisioning.

Former Herzberg–Bleicherode Railway Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The route was not destined for a long life: 100 years ago, on November 1, 1911, the Herzberg - Bischofferode section was put into operation. The continuation of the line to Bleicherode Ost had already been opened between 1908 and 1910.

After the Second World War, the zonal border divided the route at Zwinge station. On the west side of the route, passenger traffic ended as early as 1961, and freight traffic was discontinued in 1982.

On the east side of the route, the part maintained by Deutsche Reichsbahn, passenger traffic between Zwinge and Bischofferode ended in 1972 and, after the closure of the local potash mines in 1993, freight transport also ceased. The year 1998 meant the definitive end of the route with the discontinuation of the section to Bleicherode Ost.

St. Andreas Church, Rüdershausen

Highlight • Religious Site

The present parish church is at least the third church in Rüdershausen. The massive church, which survived the Thirty Years' War (1618-48) for another 200 years, may have been built at the end of the 15th century.

When the old church was built, Rüdershausen had 200 inhabitants. By 1800, this number had already grown to 600, and by the time the current church was being built (1866), the village had 1,000 Catholics. The old church had become far too small for the growing congregation. This was in addition to the poor condition of the church, which had become dilapidated due to age and was now over 350 years old. To save costs, the parish council (established in 1849) initially decided to build a replica of the church in Nesselröden, which had been newly constructed in 1853.

Ultimately, however, the architect Tochtermann in Hildesheim was commissioned to design a new church in Rüdershausen. The construction of the present-day church in Rüdershausen, designed by the architect Tochtermann from Hildesheim, was significantly influenced by the hardworking and skilled craftsmen of Rüdershausen. History tells us that the village actively participated in the rapid progress of the construction; many farmers, with their horse-drawn carts, worked day in and day out to transport the heavy stones from Ebergötzen and Herzberg (train station), in all kinds of weather.

The parish itself raised the costs for the church, in addition to providing labor and draft animals. The church's builder, Dean Spieker, was unfortunately no longer in Rüdershausen at the time of the consecration. Thus, his successor, Dean Theodor Vollmer, as the new parish priest of Rüdershausen, was responsible for the church's consecration on May 3, 1874.

Unfortunately, no contemporary accounts of the actual consecration ceremony of St. Andrew's Church have survived. Given the large number of local craftsmen and farmers involved in the construction of this magnificent church (the "Cathedral of the Eichsfeld"), the village of Rüdershausen could be proud of this successful building erected to the glory of God, and they duly celebrated and honored it. The church gradually acquired its present appearance in the following years.
