Einbeck is a town in the district Northeim, in southern Lower Saxony. It is located on the
German Timber-Frame Road . Einbeck is famous for its 600 year old beer brewery, home of
Einbecker Bier , the origin for the term Bock beer. It is believed to be one of the oldest breweries in Germany. Einbeck is the birthplace of Henry Mühlenberg, who emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1742 and became the patriarch of the Muhlenberg family dynasty as well as the founder of the Lutheran church in the American colonies.
For many years, the city’s high school has had an exchange program, known as GAPP or German-American Partnership Program , with Roy High School and Ogden High School in Utah. Every other year Einbeck students fly to Roy in October to spend two weeks with host families and attend Roy and Ogden High School’s. After their two-week stay the German students travel to places in the US such as Moab, Las Vegas and California. The Roy and Ogden High students visit Einbeck every other year during their summer break.
