Salzderhelden

Since 1974 the village of Salzderhelden has been one of today's 46 districts of the town of Einbeck and has approx. 1,750 inhabitants (as of 02.01.2024). In 1305, the village was first mentioned in a document under the name "Salehelden" . This name refers to the location of a brine spring on Heldenberg.
