It is located above Bremke at an altitude of about 272 to 290  m .

history

Today's settlement emerged as a manor after the Lords of Uslar (today: Uslar-Gleichen , not to be confused with the Goslar noble family Uslar ) abandoned the double castle Gleichen and created residences in the vicinity. With the nearby town Bremke Appenrode belonged to the 19th century to court elderly peers . The lands around the castle hills, around Appenrode and Sennickerode, are still partly owned by the Uslar-Gleichen family.

The large estates split into Obergut and Untergut Appenrode. The upper estate was renovated in the eighties of the 20th century by the editor-in-chief of a Hamburg art magazine, the lower estate was leased for a few years towards the end of the 18th century by the poet Gottfried August Bürger; it is closely related to his life story, but is in the process of decay at the moment.
