There are no detailed records of this event, which is why all the more myths, legends and adventurous interpretations surround the so-called \"Verden Blood Court\". Information boards about the history and present of the site can be found along the circular path across the approximately 15-hectare site. After the Second World War, displaced persons were initially housed in the buildings. Today, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover runs the Evangelical Youth Center Sachsenhain there."
