Uelzen

Historic Centre Oldenstadt

In “Ullishusen”, Oldenstadt’s historic centre, a Benedictine monastery had been founded already by the middle of the 10th century. Ullishusen gained certain reputation and importance, and around 1250 the citizens of Ullishusen moved from their settlement to the opposite side of the Ilmenau river, where Uelzen’s old town is located. Today, the former church of the monastery is the central point of Oldenstadt’s historic centre.

Next door, in the Music School, practising is possible almost all day long; meals and accomodation are located in the youth education centre just across the courtyard.
