About Moritzberg
What are the main landmarks in Moritzberg?
St. Mauritius carries the name. The church that the quarter is named for stands among streets that were a market town in their own right until 1911, and it remains the first address a visitor here looks for. Bennoburg is the odd one out.
The Christuskirche and the Kirche der Entschlafung der Mutter Gottes complete the set, three churches on one hill in a quarter of no great size.
What is the history of Moritzberg?
An independent market town until 1911. Moritzberg kept its own standing on the hill west of Hildesheim until that year, when the city took it in, and the plan of a market town is what the quarter still trades on. St. Mauritius holds the name.
The Christuskirche, the Kirche der Entschlafung der Mutter Gottes and the Bennoburg fill out the rest of the record, none of them dated in what the quarter keeps of its own account.
Where is Moritzberg?
