About Duderstadt
Almost two hours south of Hanover, Duderstadt sits right on the edge of Lower Saxony. Capital of the northern portion of the Eichsfeld, the city can trace its history back more than a thousand years. It’s unsurprising, then, to think that Duderstadt is popular with heritage aficionados. Brilliant for a weekend away, the city also boasts some great accommodation options. Our Gurus choice of the best places to stay in Duderstadt is particularly special, promising a fabulous fusion of historic charm and contemporary design.
Take a guided walking tour or amble around the city centre to admire a plethora of well-preserved landmarks, including striking churches and half-timbered houses. Cobbled Market Street is lined with some wonderful medieval homes, bookended by the centuries-old St. Cyriakuskirche and St. Servatiuskirche. The Westerturm, built in 1343 as one of eight gates in the city’s fortified walls, is still standing: follow the route that the walls once took for a sense of the ancient city.
Far more recently, Duderstadt stood close to the post-war inner-German border. Tour the Borderland Museum Eichsfeld in nearby Teistungen and hike the adjoining heritage trail to better understand the GDR. Returning to the present, you’ll find walking and cycling trails aplenty in the area. Round off busy days of discovery with delicious dinners of regional specialities at the best place to stay in Duderstadt.
