About Drispenstedt
What are the main landmarks in Drispenstedt?
Three churches and a railway museum. St. Thomas heads the parish list, with Mariä Lichtmess and the Immaculate Conception Church filling out a district whose other buildings are ordinary housing. The Feldbahnmuseum Hildesheim is the exception.
Its collection gives Drispenstedt the one address that brings visitors in from outside, and without it the district would be housing and parish names alone.
What is the history of Drispenstedt?
Parish names and a museum. Drispenstedt has no charter year attached to it, so the district's account rests on three dedications and one collection rather than on anything written down about the settlement itself. St. Thomas, Mariä Lichtmess and the Immaculate Conception Church are the three.
The Feldbahnmuseum Hildesheim keeps the fourth strand, and it is the only part of the district's past that a visitor can walk into rather than read off a wall.
Where is Drispenstedt?
Drispenstedt takes the north-eastern side of Hildesheim, in Lower Saxony, with Steuerwald the nearer district to the centre. Moritzberg is opposite.
