Citizen Grotto
The Bürgergrotte is a shelter carved into a sandstone rock west of Niedeck, a village southeast of Göttingen in the municipality of Gleichen , with a bench also carved from the rock. It bears its name after the poet Gottfried August Bürger (1747–1794), who secretly met his sister-in-law and later second wife Auguste Leonhart, called Molly (1758–1786), whose father Johann Carl Leonhart bailiff at Gut Niedeck , here in the 1770s was.
To the left of the citizens' grotto is a portrait of the citizen on a metal plaque. In addition, a notice board with information and the poem "Der Liebekranke" by Gottfried August Bürger is attached to the rock. The citizen grotto is reached from the forest path via a path several hundred meters long on the edge of the rock, which leads down to the forest path north of the citizen grotto.
