Die Welterbe-Infozentren - Ihr idealer Einstieg ins UNESCO-Welterbe im Harz

Die Infozentren zum UNESCO-Welterbe „Bergwerk Rammelsberg, Altstadt von Goslar und Oberharzer Wasserwirtschaft“ sind für Sie an den Standorten Walkenried, Goslar und Clausthal-Zellerfeld geöffnet. In einer spannenden Ausstellung können Sie sich kostenfrei an zum Teil interaktiven Stationen über das Thema Welterbe informieren.

Die barrierearmen Infozentren dienen als Überblick über das UNESCO-Welterbe und bilden den Auftakt zu den Originalschauplätzen im Welterbe im Harz. An den jeweiligen Standorten übernehmen sie vor allem die Funktion als „Scheinwerfer“ für die Orte in direkter Nähe und vermitteln deren Besonderheiten. Am Standort Walkenried sind diese näher beleuchteten Orte das ZisterzienserMuseum Kloster Walkenried, die Grube Samson in Sankt Andreasberg oder der Oderteich der Oberharzer Wasserwirtschaft mitten im Nationalpark Harz. Der Standort Goslar beleuchtet das Weltkulturerbe Rammelsberg und die Altstadt von Goslar. In Clausthal-Zellerfeld sind das Oberharzer Bergwerksmuseum und die Oberharzer Wasserwirtschaft eins von vielen Themen.

Auch wird die Bedeutung von UNESCO-Welterbestätten für die gesamte Weltgemeinschaft dargestellt – Welterbe gehört allen und verbindet Menschen grenzüberschreitend miteinander.

3D model, video projection and media terminal


At the heart of each World Heritage Information Center is a 3D landscape model with video projections that clearly illustrate the process of change that has taken place in the 3000-year-old cultural landscape of the West Harz. The interrelationship between man, nature and technology is put into context in terms of time and content. The film offers guests a unique possibility to gain a bird's eye view of the entire World Heritage in the Harz and its underground dimensions, and also to get to know its impressive history.

At a media terminal visitors can inform themselves in detail about everything that is offered and all events in the World Heritage Site. They can then leave the World Heritage Information Centre with an individually compiled itinerary and information, and then explore the World Heritage directly on location.
