The City of Hildesheim

Hildesheim is said to be a small metropolis in the heart of Lower Saxony. This historical city designated by UNESCO World Heritage celebrated its 1200th anniversary in 2015. Hildesheim is home for the oldest rose in the world. The Rose of Hildesheim (also known as Thousand-year Rose) grows in the yard of the Hildesheim Cathedral (UNESCO heritage site). In 1945, as the cathedral was destroyed, the rosebush survived, the roots remained alive under the ruins.
