St. Nikolaihof Bardowick

Highlight • Historical Site

Old pen for the care of leprosy patients in the Middle Ages. Very nice location, with a small oak forest to Ilmenau. Right at the lock left in the Eichwald. Also a filming location of the series "Red Roses".

The earliest written record as "House of the Poor Sick" was in a document from the year 1251. The court belonged to the city of Lüneburg, which housed her lepers outside the city walls here. After the leprosy was contained, the facility was converted into a nursing home. The accommodation was separated by gender. In the 15th century, about 80 people populated the court, half residents of women's and men's house, to the other service and administrative personnel (stewards, pastors, sextons, organists, shepherds, servants and maids). In the early 14th century a chapel and the (old) men's house were built, the provisional (house of the steward) in the 16th century. Around 1700 came another (the new) men's house and the so-called Organistenhaus (actually the pastorate, the actual Organistenhaus was demolished in 1802) added. In 1720/21 the women's shelter was renewed.

The women's shelter is still partially used today in its original function. The Nikolaihof is being redeveloped as part of the Bund-Länder program "Urban Heritage Protection", while the exterior work has already been largely completed.

A library almost in the middle of nowhere (on the outskirts of Bardowick). 👍 Added photo with opening times.

Just a nice place with a small lock, an old barge and a houseboat.

Unfortunately, the lock at Bardowick is in poor condition and was closed in 2012. When or if the lock is repaired, is still in the stars. It is, as always, also a matter of money. Since today the vegetables are transported by trucks, Ilmenau no longer has any significance as a transport route. The lock has fallen into a deep sleep and is waiting for a prince who kisses her awake. This is how the museum ship, with which the vegetables were once transported to Hamburg, is caught there.

But somehow it has remained a magical place.

An idyllic spot. This is especially true for the beautiful perspectives from the small river island. Those traveling by canoe must cross here and should take time for a break in good weather.

Bardowick Shipping Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

One of the most traditional Bardowick clubs, the Bardowick Ilmenauschiffer Club - also known as the "Schiffergilde" - keeps the memory alive of the once heyday of Bardowick Ilmenau shipping.

Now the skipper's guild has a new representation in text and image of the history of the Bardowicks.

Ilmenauschifffahrt developed and transferred to a board in a weather-resistant form. Bardowick citizens and their guests, tourists, hikers and cyclists can now learn interesting and exciting things about the history of Bardowick Ilmenau shipping at one of the most attractive places on the Ilmenau.
