history

Abberode was first mentioned in 966 as Abroden . Later the place was called Abterode . Of the medieval church of Sankt Stephanus , donated by an abbot of Ballenstedt, only the bell tower (restored in 1998) is still standing today. The church in the Tilkerode district was built in 1936.

An old ore mining area is located near Tilkerode, in which Saiger pits were dug up to a depth of 60 meters from 1762 to 1855, initially close to the surface . Although mainly iron ore was mined, gold and selenium ore discoveries made the place famous around the world in 1825. A few ducats with the inscription "Ex auro Anhaltino" were minted from this gold in 1825 (at Loos in Berlin).

In 1822 there were 39 houses with 229 inhabitants in the village, which was subordinate to the patrimonial court of the Rammelburg office in the Mansfeld mountain district . The river flowing through the village formed the border between Prussia and Anhalt-Bernburg.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent communities of Steinbrücken and Tilkerode were incorporated.

On March 6, 2009 Abberode was incorporated into Mansfeld.

Volkmannrode was abandoned around the middle of the 15th century, but the desert still remained a place of jurisdiction over the princely corridors. A rural court was first mentioned in 1489 and until the 19th century (1875) it remained a place of lower jurisdiction, limited to field, forest and hunting offenses. The place of justice in its trinity of the court house, linden trees (860–920 years old) and church ruins is now a protected area as an area monument. Volkmannrode was an exclave of the state of Anhalt belonging to Harzgerode .
