Narrow but well-maintained cycle path

Short but brutal wall. The Garmin shoots up to 16 percent here and there. At the top, it then rolls nicely into the Elm.

There are no records of the construction of the Groß Denkte church. Legend tells that it was built from the stones of the Asseburg Castle, which was destroyed in the early Middle Ages. An original document from Pope Innocent III from 1206 confirms the transfer of the Groß Denkte property, including the church, to the Bad Gandersheim Abbey. Thus, the church existed long before the Reformation. Until secularization in 1803, the abbesses of the Bad Gandersheim Abbey were the local rulers of Groß Denkte. Therefore, the Groß Denkte coat of arms also features the crosier, for "life is good under the crosier." This was a peasant saying in the Middle Ages, as the clerical authorities were considerably more lenient than the secular lords when it came to collecting taxes and duties. There is evidence that the church was robbed during the Schmalkaldic War (1546/47). During the Second World War, Groß Denkte and the church, including its then-spire, were severely damaged in a British bombing raid on January 14, 1944. This raid was originally intended to have targeted Braunschweig. Due to a lack of materials, the destroyed roof structure could not be rebuilt until 1948. After its complete restoration, the church was finally consecrated on the third Sunday of Advent in 1956. On the first Sunday of Advent in 2003, an organ by organ builder Amadeus Junker from Meinersen was consecrated. The congregation had saved up for it for decades, having had to make do with a makeshift instrument since 1956. No name for the Groß Denkte church appears in old records. More recent research suggests it could possibly be "St. Peter and Paul." After the renovation of the church tower, the congregation would like to give their church a name and is therefore continuing to follow old traces.
