Eberholzen is a village and former municipality, located in the district of Hildesheim in Lower Saxony, Germany. The village has been a part of the municipality Sibbesse since November 1, 2016.[1]
Sights
The tower of the Protestant church dates back to the 12th century, where a medieval stone coffin can be seen in front of it. According to legend, it belonged to Ritter von Eberhardt, a knight who was excommunicated and not buried on the cemetery of Eberholzen.[2]
Infrastructure
Unlike many villages in Lower Saxony, Eberholzen still has a traditional village shop. There is also a well-known butcher's shop. A bus service connects Hildesheim and Alfeld with several trips each day.[citation needed]
