In the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, the place merged seamlessly with the neighboring towns of Bad Harzburg and Schlewecke , so that a clear separation is only given by the streets that form a noticeable break towards Bad Harzburg city center, but not at all towards Schlewecke can be seen. The place is traversed by the Bleiche , a tributary of the Radau further east . Other small tributaries such as the Füllenkuhlenbach complete the hydrological picture.

Towards Schlewecke, the Scharenberg delimits the village as part of the north edge of the Harz, and to the east, the Zauberberg as a western slope of the Butterberg .

Various subspecies of ammonites in the Bündheim area from the lower Jura have been geologically proven .

Local history

Former furniture store Krebs

Bündheim was first mentioned in a document in 1251. In 1573, Duke Julius zu Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel's administration was relocated from Harzburg to Bündheim and an office building was built.

In the same year, Duke Julius set up the Bündheimer brass works on the basis of an older smelting works and used the furnace quarry (Hüttengalmei) , which was first made usable by the ducal council Erasmus Ebner, as an additive to the processed Mansfeld copper.

The original office building fell victim to Tilly's soldiers in the Thirty Years' War in 1626 . The office building that was then rebuilt turned out to be a bad construction. It was therefore torn down in 1685 and replaced by what is now Bündheim Palace . The knight's hall of the castle is used today for cultural events and representative receptions.

Immediately on the west side of the castle is the former regal thoroughbred stud Harzburg , whose beginnings go back to the 15th century. For the most famous horses of the stud, among them the famous Luciano , memorial stones were set up in the adjacent castle park.

The Friederike mine , which opened in the 1860s, was closed in 1963.

The culturally and geographically closely interwoven communities of Bündheim and Schlewecke merged on January 1, 1963. Finally, on July 1, 1972, Bündheim-Schlewecke was incorporated into the city of Bad Harzburg. The place came in 1974 from the Wolfenbüttel district to the Goslar district.

Between January 1, 1963 and July 1, 1972, the place was known as Schlewecke . This was due to a compromise, as the Lower Saxony ministry did not allow double names and the Schlewecker local council protested against the impending loss of name.

In 1983, Bundesstraße 6 was stepped down to the L 501 in the course of the four-lane route built further north.

The furniture store Krebs, which had already been abandoned and in a desolate state, was destroyed in 2015 by a major fire.

Population development

While in 1798 only 625 residents were settled in a census by the Harzburg Office in Bündheim, the number of residents rose until the middle of the 20th century and has been falling since then until 2014. Since this year, the population has increased by 95 from 5,167 inhabitants (2014) to 5,262 (2017).

Economy and Infrastructure

Mann + Hummel branch in the former Friederike mine

As a former lumberjack and miners' village, Bündheim is now suburban. In the last few decades, the village has turned strongly to tourism, so there is a municipal indoor and outdoor swimming pool in the district with the Silberbornbad . The centuries-old tradition of horse breeding is culturally valuable, with annual horse races in the sports park and the Bündheimer Thoroughbred Stud.

In addition, the village is also partly industrially developed: The Mann + Hummel company settled on the site of the former Friederike mine , and there are also several master car workshops in Bündheim.

freetime and sports

Horse racing track

A horse racing track has been located on Bündheimer Boden since 1909 , on which the Bad Harzburg horse racing week and other events not only about horses take place every July .

In the middle of the racetrack is the sports park, which was inaugurated in summer 2005, with the new clubhouse. This is where TSG Bad Harzburg plays its home football matches. This club was formed in 1993 from the two clubs TSG Bündheim / Schlewecke and BSV Bad Harzburg.

The Silberbornbad is located on the northwest side of the racetrack . Actually a year-round pool, it is only open in the summer months for cost reasons. There is an 18-hole golf course to the south and partly inside the racetrack.

The Bad Harzburg Mountain Marathon has been taking place at the racecourse since 2007 and requires runners from regional to international runners to cope with a difference in altitude of more than 300 m.

education

The Bündheim elementary school is located on Dr.-Heinrich-Jasper-Straße . As a former joint project with the Schlewecke community, today's school was also built on the Deilich .

The Bündheim kindergarten is still located in the village. Since May 2019 he has had his own vegetable patch, which is tended by children and educators as part of the "Vegetable patches for kids" project.

religion

The historic Protestant St. Andreas Church is located in Bündheim and belongs to the provost of Bad Harzburg. The Catholic St. Gregory VII Church was built in 1880 and is now part of the Liebfrauen parish in Bad Harzburg. From 1934, Christoph Hackethal was the pastor of St. Gregory's Church . When Polish and French forced laborers came to Bündheim during the war , he disregarded their mandatory segregation and made negative comments about the war and the regime in private and in church services. In 1941 he was arrested by the Gestapo and died the following year in Dachau as a result of the abuse in the concentration camp.
