History
The town became the seat of the Bishopric of Hildesheim in 815. The Bishopric of Hildesheim was a state of the Holy Roman Empire from the Middle Ages until 1803. For four centuries the clergy ruled Hildesheim, before a town hall was built and the citizens gained some influence. In 1367 Hildesheim became a member of the Hanseatic League. The Hanseatic League (also known as the Hansa) was an alliance of trading cities and their Guilds that established and maintained trade It became part of the Kingdom of Hanover after the Napoleonic Wars, but was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War in 1866 and made part of the Province of Hanover. The Kingdom of Hanover (Königreich Hannover was established in October of 1814 by the Congress of Vienna, with the restoration of George III to his Hanoverian The Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815 involved Napoleon's French Empire and a shifting set of European allies and opposing coalitions The Kingdom of Prussia (Königreich Preußen was a German kingdom from 1701 to 1918 and from 1871 was the leading state of the German Empire, comprising The Austro-Prussian The Province of Hanover (Provinz Hannover was a province of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Free State of Prussia from 1868 to 1946
The city was heavily damaged by air raids in 1945, especially on March 22. Strategic bombing during World War II was greater in scale than any wartime attack the world had previously witnessed Events 238 - Gordian I and his son Gordian II are proclaimed Roman emperor. The centre, which had retained its medieval character until then, simply ceased to exist. After the war, it was rebuilt in a completely different style and concrete structures took the place of the destroyed buildings. Fortunately, most of the major churches, two of them now UNESCO World Heritage Site, were rebuilt soon after the war. In the 1980s reconstruction of the historic centre began. Some of the unattractive concrete buildings around the marketplace were torn down and replaced by replicas of the original buildings. In the fall of 2007, a decision has been made to reconstruct the "Umgestülpter Zuckerhut" ("Upended Sugarloaf"), an iconic half-timbered house famous for its unusual shape. It is scheduled to be completed in 2009.
In the 1970s, the University of Hildesheim was founded. The University of Hildesheim (in German Universität Hildesheim) was founded in 1978.
