Be sure to make time
for a guided tour of the town, in the company, perhaps,
of Frau Fromm or one of her colleagues. Her eyes light up
when she speaks of Duderstadt's history - of its first
mention in the year 929 and of its gradual development
into a medieval metropolis when the salt trade formed the
backbone of its economy. But she can also tell you of
more recent events, of the Congress of Vienna and its
consequences, of the Eichsfeld's separation by the
internal German border and the days of reunification. And
she also has droll stories to tell about Duderstadt and
the Eichsfeld - about the partial and full right to brew
beer, the Duderstadt militia and the time when tobacco
was grown here. |

No
noise - and lots of greenery. A relaxing experience. The
town and its neat little villages enjoy a high quality of
life. Even the air is good. Parks, green open spaces and

town. Duderstadt is a charming place. Tangible reminders
of history - something which appeals to children, too.
The medieval townscape, the historic old Town Hall, the
churches and the town wall. History is a living entity
here - as it should be. |

liking. It's something you can't really appreciate until
you've experienced it. In the Marktstraße is the
rippling Brehme brook with children playing in the cool
water. That way, shopping's fun! Continue
