Goslar is located at the northern edge of the nature park Harz and has 46.000 inhabitants. The medieval old town with the emperor imperial palace and the ore mine Rammelsberg, the only one that operated more than 100 years which closed in 1988, have been included in the UNESCO list of “culture- and natural heritage of mankind” since 1992. It is one of the places where the occident’s history began. Many landmarks of a great European past remained mostly unscathed in this city. Two thirds of all buildings in the old town are protected by the care of monuments. Many narrow still cobblestone paved lanes in the old town are an adventure. Every house tells its own story. But this city is no museum. It is livened up by 9.000 people and a strong retail. You find all this on only one square kilometre. We look forward to your visit.

Everybody knows the world known legend whichs’ historical backround could not even be clarified today. The Rat Catchers story is performed by 80 actors on an open air stage every Sunday at 12 o’clock from the middle of May until the middle of September. But not only the play is center of attraction. Hameln has a beautiful historical old town. Especially marvellous are the old buildings from the renaissance, which can only be admired here in such a numerous appearance.
