About Spork
Where to stay in Spork
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Detmold carries the beds. Spork is a residential edge of that town rather than a hotel quarter, so anyone booking out here trades the town's shops and restaurants for quiet ground near the Evangelische Kirche Remmighausen. Distances stay short either way.
A room in Spork-Eichholz suits drivers and guests who want the church end of the district; everyone else does better closer to Detmold's centre.
About Spork
What are the main landmarks in Spork?
Spork counts one listed building, a church. The Evangelische Kirche Remmighausen is the only landmark recorded for Spork, a Protestant church that puts the Remmighausen name into the district's list of standing buildings. Nothing else in Spork holds a visitor listing.
No museum or gallery appears beside it, and the three square kilometres that make up Spork-Eichholz hold no ticketed attraction of the kind Detmold's centre advertises.
What is the history of Spork?
No one wrote down when Spork began. The record the district carries is a short one: the Evangelische Kirche Remmighausen, a Protestant church whose name preserves Remmighausen, and the compound label Spork-Eichholz that joins Spork to Eichholz. Dates for the wider area belong to Detmold, the town that Spork sits within and whose administration accounts for these three square kilometres.
Where is Spork?
Spork covers just over three square kilometres of Detmold, the district that holds the Evangelische Kirche Remmighausen and answers to Spork-Eichholz in local use.
