From Hildesheim to Hollywood

Hildesheim is more than just World Heritage sites, half-timbered houses, and Romanesque architecture! Street art and graffiti, from the city center to the northern district, are right on trend – witty, thought-provoking, and created with input from local residents. Hildesheim's old alleyways also hold more Hollywood glamour, film sets, and celebrity appeal than you might expect! Diane Kruger is just one of Hildesheim's Hollywood "exports"; the city has also produced other stars and starlets and served as a filming location for numerous series and movies. Let's get started with a guided tour and a film!

Strong women

Hildesheim's long history has repeatedly produced women who, full of courage and fearlessness, ventured into male-dominated fields and thus fought for their place in society. At various sites throughout Hildesheim, stories are told of the intelligence, imagination, resilience, but also the despair of these women.
