Duderstadt Attractions

Beyond St Cyriakus Church in Duderstadt, in a Baroque house of 1767, is the Eichsfeld Heimatmuseum.

The museum features regional history such as cigar rolling, tobacco growing, migrant labor and water related exhibits.

In Marktstrasse, which runs west from the Duderstadt Town Hall, are a number of handsome half-timbered houses.

A short way east of the Duderstadt Town Hall is the church of St Cyriakus or Oberkirche (14th-16th C.; R.C.).

In the Duderstadt Untermarkt is the Protestant parish church of St Servatius (or Unterkirche; 15th-16th C.), with an interior partly decorated in Art Nouveau style.

The central feature of Duderstadt is the Obermarkt, with the Town Hall (13th-16th C.). This is an imposing half-timbered building with three small towers and sandstone arcades on the ground and first floors (historical exhibition; carillon).

There is an attractive walk round the medieval walls of Duderstadt.

To the north of the Duderstadt Untermarkt stands the Westerturm (1424), with a twisted spire, the only surviving town gate.
