Uniting for our Urban Heartland
Hildesheim, a charming city nestled in Lower Saxony, Germany, is a treasure trove of history and culture. The city's promotional efforts, led by Hildesheim Marketing GmbH, highlight its major attractions and activities, making it an ideal destination for tourists and history enthusiasts alike.
At the heart of Hildesheim's appeal is the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum, a flagship museum internationally renowned for its extensive collection on Ancient Egypt. Founded in 1844, the museum houses artifacts from the Pyramidenzeit and is considered one of the most important museums outside of Cairo and Boston for Egyptian antiquities. The museum's regular special exhibitions, such as the recent "Es ist angerichtet," add an extra layer of allure for repeat and specialist visitors.
The city's historic centre, with its UNESCO World Heritage Site, St. Mary's Cathedral, and the well-preserved medieval churches and market square, is another key attraction. The picturesque half-timbered houses and the bustling market square offer a glimpse into the city's rich past.
Hildesheim Marketing GmbH's promotional strategies focus on these landmarks, supported by cultural events, guided tours, and visitor experience packages. Thematic tours, such as UNESCO World Heritage routes, culinary walks, and art-focused itineraries, are developed to cater to various interests. Local businesses, including hotels, restaurants, and shops, are partnered with to offer combined experience packages, enhancing the visitor's experience.
The city's accessibility is also emphasized through city cards, public transport deals, and family-friendly options, making it easier for visitors to explore the city.
In an exciting new development, Hildesheim Marketing GmbH is launching a project called "Hildesheim Stories."

The podcast, set to be released every two weeks, will focus on a different story, offering a comprehensive exploration of the city's past. The book will provide a comprehensive collection of the stories, with additional information and images, serving as a keepsake for visitors. The mobile app will allow users to explore the city and discover the stories associated with different locations, enhancing the visitor's experience.
