Nach dem Mittagessen steht mir der beschwerlichste Teil der Tour bevor: die Rückfahrt mit der Bahn nach Thale! Und am Bahnhof fallen die ersten Regentropfen.
Nice BMW bike from Germany, which was travelling up the A229 towards Chatham with another German bike. This was originally registered to the district of Osterode, located in the south of Lower Saxony, pretty much in central Germany. I say 'was', as on the 1st of November this year, the code OHA became an optional code, where the Osterode district now is merged with the district of Göttingen. Vehicles in the district are assigned the code GÖ, including vehicles from Osterode am Harz. The bike was also issued with a seasonal plate, valid from April-October.

Die Gipskarstlandschaft Hainholz ist ein Naturschutzgebiet am Südwestrand des Harzes in Niedersachsen. Es liegt etwa fünf Kilometer südlich von Osterode am Harz und unmittelbar westlich von Düna.
Das intensiv verkarstete Gebiet ist teilweise bewaldet und stellt einen repräsentativen Bestandteil der Gipskarstlandschaft des Südharzes dar. Auf engem Raum findet man die typischen Formen einer Karstlandschaft, wie Erdfälle, Dolinen und Bachschwinden. Außerdem gibt es eine Reihe von Höhlen im Hainholz.
Das Gebiet wurde 1967 als Gipskarstlandschaft Hainholz unter Naturschutz gestellt und im Jahr 2000 auf eine Gesamtfläche von ca. 640 ha erweitert wurde. Der Karstwanderweg führt durch das Naturschutzgebiet.

This truck from Germany was travelling along the M20 motorway close to the Eurotunnel. The trailer was operated by Dachser, a huge German logistics company with bases worldwide. The trailer was registered to the district of Osterode, located in the south of Lower Saxony, in central Germany. The code OHA became an optional code in 2016, where the Osterode district now is merged with the district of Göttingen. Vehicles registered within this district are now assigned the code GÖ, including vehicles from Osterode am Harz, unless they 'opt-in' for usage of the 'OHA' code. This trailer was most likely registered prior to the new coding system from Göttingen.

Louis the Pious founded the bishopric of Hildesheim in 815. The settlement developed into a town and was granted market rights by King Otto III in 983. Craftsmen and merchants were attracted and the city developed into an important community. By 1167, Hildesheim was an almost completely walled market settlement.
At the beginning of the 13th century, Hildesheim had about 5,000 inhabitants, and when Hildesheim received its city charter in 1249, it was one of the largest cities in northern Germany. The clergy ruled Hildesheim for four centuries before a town hall was built and the citizens gained influence and independence. In 1367, Hildesheim became a member of the Hanseatic League. But what is now called Hildesheim was various small "suburbs". After centuries of (sometimes armed) disputes, it was not until the end of the 16th century that a union was created and subsequently at least the inner wall was taken down Old and New Town.
During the Thirty Years' War, Hildesheim was besieged and occupied several times. In 1813, after the Napoleonic Wars, the town became part of the Kingdom of Hanover, which was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia as a province after the Austro-Prussian War in 1866.
The air raids on Hildesheim in 1944/45 destroyed large parts of the city. Of the 1500 half-timbered houses, only 200 remained. 90 percent of the historic old town was destroyed in the firestorm.

The earliest church building here was a simple pre-Romanesque chapel, which already existed at the death of Bishop Bernward in 1022. During the Romanesque period, the center of the market and workshops was relocated to near St. Andreas and the chapel was subsequently replaced with a romanesque church with a strong westwork.
The building of the gothic church, in the basilica style and romanesque westwork, was begun at the end of the 14th century. By 1504, the nave with its side altars was finished and all that remained to be completed was the tower. This was only done in 1883-1890 when the tower reached its current height of about 114m.
St. Andreas represented bourgeois self-confidence in the High Middle Ages in comparison to the lordship of the Bishops, manifested in the cathedral. During the Reformation St. Andreas became the first church in Hildesheim to support Lutheranism in 1542.
The church burned down during WWII in March 1945, and only the ruined outer wall remained standing. From 1956-1965, St. Andreas was completely rebuilt as an almost exact copy of the original.
The "Arneken Altar", a work from the Riemenschneider school in Osterode, was created for the chapel of the Arnekenhospital in 1587. Since 2013, it is part of the inventory of St. Andreaskirche.
