Tips from the Community
At the foot of the former defense tower, which has survived from the medieval fortifications of Verden, stands the executioner's house. This is a half-timbered house from 1553, which was structurally altered in the years 1714/15. Colloquially, the house is also called "Bödelei". Until 1831, the executioners of Verden lived here in the house with a courtyard and a small garden. In the executioner's house, in the semi-underground prison cell, an unadorned cellar hole, the inmates sat behind several massive oak doors. The only source of light was a barred window opening high above the heads of the inmates. The "painful interrogation" also took place here, i.e. the accused was forced to confess. In 1838, the defense tower was converted into a prison with eight cells and a guardroom.

As modest as an old farmhouse, surmounted by a simple wooden bell tower, the Corvinus Church in the center of the former village of Erichshagen is nevertheless steeped in ancient tradition and history. It was built as a half-timbered structure in 1757/58 to replace an older chapel dating back to 1620, which still stood on the Amtshof (official farm) in Wölpe, and is today considered the westernmost half-timbered church in Northern Germany. Why the then bailiff Uden decided to demolish the old chapel and build a new one in the village of Erichshagen remains a mystery. The chapel most likely became too small for the population, as with just under 500 inhabitants, Erichshagen was the largest village in the Amt Wölpe (district of Wölpe). In addition to donations from other parishes and private individuals, the Amt Wölpe also contributed to the construction of the new church and paid for the installation of a pulpit where the bailiff, his clerk, and the district judge could listen to services. To access the church, a separate staircase was built at the rear of the church for the officials, which is still in use today. After the church's completion in 1759, the late Baroque white pulpit altar, decorated with gold and red ornaments, was erected. A bell hangs in the small wooden tower with the inscription: "...Johann Friedrich Altenburg cast Sachsenhagen anno 1796." Source: https://www.erichshagen-woelpe.de/ortsplan/Corvinus-Kirche.htm
