World Heritage: Historic Town of Goslar VI

One of the buildings around the Market Square.

Located close to the Rammelsberg mines, the town of Goslar played an important part in the Hanseatic League because of the richness of the Rammelsberg metal-ore veins. The historic centre, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is perfectly preserved, and includes some 1,500 timber-framed houses from the 15th to 19th centuries. The town was not significantly damaged in the Second World War, partly because it was a hospital town.
