From the Rollberg, we turn left into the Petersilienstraße and follow the street to the junction with the footpath towards the playground and cross it.
We reach the street Langer Krummer Bruch.
This area of Osterode was originally very damp
and closed the gap between
old and new town.
The building No.18 reminds, with a memorial plaque, at its use as Jewish school and Synagogue.
Coming from the Langen Krummen Bruch we turn right into the Scheffelstrasse.
On our left, we see the Luisen-School, which serves as town library today.
Now, we are in the town's pedestrian area and turn right into the Waagestrasse.
The wonderful building of the scale of justice catches one's eye immediately.
The former wedding and weighting house impresses through its facade.
From the Waagestrasse we walk left, through the Hellhofstrasse towards the road Strasse am Schilde.
In the past, mainly craftsmen and traders lived in these middle-class houses. One can see architectural differences in the new town. Here, agrarian usage wasn't wanted.
On the left, we see immediately the old historical town hall.
This impressive building was Osterode's pride and was to represent the town's wealth.
On the town hall's front wall, we see the sculpture of the Harzer donkey herder.
From the town hall, we walk into the Johannistorstrasse, which is the only one of the four leading from the town roads that has kept its medieval tightness.
Looking over the Söse one can see the St. Johannes Church and on the right the former protection facility the old castle.
We don't walk along the Söse but turn left into the Eisensteinstrasse.
There we see the impressive building of the grain magazine immediately.
The grain supply was stored here in the past to provide the Oberharz with grain. Today, it is used as the city's town hall.
Past the grain magazine over the car-park along the back of the building, we reach the Aegidienstrasse via a passageway.
We follow the street to the left and see at the house number 1, the commandant's house. It served the town commandant as lodges.
Immediately left of the commandant's house, we go past the St. Aegidien church and have reached the heart of Osterode the Kornmarkt.
