On the wall



The map
Hildesheim lies at the northern edge of the Lower Saxon hill country, south-east of Hanover, where the Innerste river flows past the western side of the old town. From above, the historic centre forms a rough oval. Ring roads and green walkways enclose it along the line of the former walls. The cathedral hill and the market square are its two focal points.
Two of its churches, St Mary's Cathedral and St Michael's, are listed together as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their Romanesque architecture and art. The thousand-year rosebush grows against the cathedral apse. It survived the destruction of 1945 and still blooms each year. The Market Square, with its reconstructed timber-framed Butchers' Guild Hall, was rebuilt after the war.
A Hildesheim map poster shows a city that kept its medieval outline despite heavy wartime damage. Irregular lanes lie inside the ring, broad avenues and railway lines lie outside it, and river meadows run along the Innerste. It is a strong choice for university students, residents and anyone who knows the city's churches.
The cathedral stands on a slight rise within the old town. A close of houses and lanes surrounds it and appears as a distinct enclave on the map.
Ring roads and promenades follow the line of the former fortifications. They enclose the historic centre in a clear, rounded shape.
The small Innerste river runs along the western edge of the centre. Green meadows and parks on its banks soften the city's outline.
