Lamspringe

Lamspringe is a municipality in the Hildesheim area with a network of villages and hamlets surrounded by forests and green spaces. The landscape is rolling and shaped by natural waterways that flow through the region.

A monastery established a glassworks here in the 18th century, bringing the first commercial activities to the area. These early industrial beginnings show how the place developed from purely agricultural land into a center of craft production.

The community has many half-timbered houses that shape the appearance of its streets and show how people built their homes over time. At the center stands the old monastery complex with buildings from different periods that you can see and walk through.

The visitor center at Klostermühle offers information and maps to help you explore the area. You will find materials about walking trails and local sites to help plan your visit better.

About 4 kilometers to the east, a separate village called Glashütte developed as a result of glass production in the 18th century. This settlement shows how craft industries attracted people and created whole communities around their work.
