Detfurth is a northern district of the city of Bad Salzdetfurth in Lower Saxony on the Lamme . State road 490 leads through the village to the city center.

history

Detfurth was first mentioned in a document in 1207 as "Dethvorde". In 1214 it was named "Thietforde" in another document. Detfurth had been the seat of an archdeaconate in the diocese of Hildesheim since the Middle Ages .

Northwest of Detfurth, from 1232 to the Hildesheimer Stiftsfehde (1523), the state parliaments of the Principality of Hildesheim gathered in the open air "on the Roden" on the old Heerstraße, which, coming from Gandersheim , continued to the Egenstedter Sonnenberg. Most of the area in the northwest of Detfurth is now forested.

The Reformation was not introduced in Detfurth and the affiliated branch communities, as the place was always in the hands of the cathedral chapter of Hildesheim Cathedral.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Detfurth had 115 inhabitants.

Among other things, due to the construction of the brine bath and the salt clinics in the village, parts of the spa were relocated from the center of the city to the district. That is why Detfurth, which was incorporated into Bad Salzdetfurth on March 1, 1974, was declared a spa in 1982. In 2003 a stop was set up on the Lammetalbahn in Detfurth .

Culture and sights

St. Gallus Church.
Memorial column on the clearing .
  • Today's Catholic church building St. Gallus on Soltmannstrasse was built from rubble stones between 1772 and 1779 to replace the dilapidated old church. The neo-Romanesque tower of the church, which is strikingly large for a place the size of Detfurth, was raised in 1899. The church has ten high arched windows, four of which have glass paintings. The interior of the church with three altars is kept in the classicism style. A late Gothic statue of the Virgin Mary can be seen on the north side altar . During the restoration of the church in 1983/84, remains of the original painting were uncovered on the walls.
  • Opposite the church, the street "Am Bach" branches off, via which, after a hike of just under 30 minutes, you reach the Auf dem Roden plateau , where the state parliaments of the Principality of Hildesheim met from 1232 to 1523. A granite memorial column several meters high reminds of this .
  • In 1981 the tennis performance center of the Lower Saxony Tennis Association (NTV eV) was inaugurated in Detfurth. The state teaching facility of the NTV is located at the brine bath. Tennis coaches and young tennis players from Lower Saxony are trained here.

Economy and Infrastructure

From the newly established stop at the Lammetalbahn, you can reach Hildesheim every hour and in the other direction Bad Salzdetfurth and Bodenburg.
