geography

Location and townscape

Bettingerode is located at an altitude between 175  m above sea level. NHN and 190  m above sea level NHN in a valley of the Harzburg foothills of the Harz Mountains through which the Shamlah flows. The village is located two kilometers northeast of Westerode , five kilometers east of Harlingerode and three kilometers southwest of Lochtum in the sparsely populated eastern half of the Bad Harzburg urban area. The Feldmark allows a good view of the Harz Mountains and especially the Butterberg , which is clearly noticeable in the south. Various streams and trenches flow into the Shamlah here, the most important of which are the Maschbach from Westerode and the Lehmgrundsgraben .

Apart from the southern part, which arose in the post-war period as living space for people who were expelled from the east (Schlesierring), Bettingerode consists entirely of a historic town center. The farmhouses here face the local main street on one side and the Schamlahbach stream on the other, so Bettingerode can be classified as a historic street village .

The Gut Radau settlement two kilometers to the west and the Altfelder Krug homestead four kilometers away belong to Bettingerode for statistical reasons.

history

Early history / etymology

Bettingerode in 1910

The defining word of the place name is traced back to the personal name Badu , which comes from an ancient Germanic root * badwō and which means something like fight . The word exists in Icelandic böð , Norwegian bad and Swedish badd, ba to this day. The basic word -rode of the place name is derived from the Old Saxon term for clearing. Especially in the area around the Harz , the basic word -ingerode is often found in place names , which is used in this region in connection with personal names instead of -rode .

In the first recorded mention of Heinrich II to the royal palace Werla in 1013, the place is referred to as Redingaroth (a misspelling of Bedingaroth ). Further mentions of the place are:

  • 1018: Beddinge
  • 1129: Botingeroth
  • 1174/1195: Bettingeroth
  • 1265: Bettingerod
  • 13./14. Century: Bettingerode, Bedtingerode, Bettyngerode

Historically, the village belonged to the Harzburg office until 1972 . Bettingerode is referred to as a fiefdom of Count Schwiecheldt zu Wernigerode in 1407 and 1436 and from 1542 as belonging to the Duchy of Braunschweig .

In the period around 1500, the places Bintingerode / Halbertingerode (before 1506) and Kulingerode (before 1468) fell in the Bettingeröder Feldmark . Bintingerode, which was also called Puerinnenroth, probably formed a political and spatial unit with Halbertingerode according to the common names. The places were west of the Ecker, so they are probably between Bettingerode and Stapelburg . Kulingerode was located south of Abbenrode in or on the Schimmerwald.

Modern times

According to the church inscription, Bettingerode was completely burned down around 1600.

In 1852 Bettingerode had 506 residents, 46 campfire sites, a pastorate, a church, four farmyards, eight cart farms, 5 Großkötherhöfe and 9 Kleinkötherhöfe.

In 1923 the local fire department was founded.

After the Second World War , Heinrich Deutsch was appointed the first local mayor in Bettingerode.

On July 1, 1972 Bettingerode was incorporated into the city of Bad Harzburg.

Between 2002 and 2008 a village renewal program was carried out in Bettingerode.

Bettingerode celebrated its 1000th anniversary in June 2013.
