... Beautiful view of the most known building on the historic
market square... the Butchers Guild Hall features a unique roof and highly decorated façade... the most photographed half-timbered house in Hildesheim... destroyed in WWII during an air raid... from 1987 it was rebuilt inside and out at great expense... 400 cubic metres of oak wood, some 7,500 wooden pegs and 19,000 roof tiles which were nearly 150 years old, were used... it is a faithful recreation of the original and gives a good idea of what life was in the Middle Ages... today it houses a restaurant and the City Museum... with the most sweet stamp❤️ and wonderful special postmark👍 from the series " Childhood Heroes"... I LOVE THEM😍!!... this time featuring "Heidi"... Switzerland's most popular piece of literature and known all over the world... Heidi's books are among the best-selling books ever... about 25 film or television productions of the original story have been made... Thanks so much
