Birnbaum is a desert in the middle Lower Harz , near Neudorf . The Anhalt mining area Birnbaum got its name after this place.

history

The first documented consideration of the place comes from the year 1300. Prince Otto I. von Anhalt granted the monasteries Marienthal , Riddagshausen and Michaelstein mining rights for ore in the upper Selketal , in particular "in loco qui Birbom vulgariter appelatur" (in a place that is usually pear tree is called). It was first mentioned as a settlement in 1324.

The settlement was mentioned as "Berbeyme" as early as 1467 as a desert. In 1539, thalers were first minted from the area. A name as desert "Auf dem Birnbaum" is known from the beginning of the 17th century in connection with the Vorwerk Birnbaum. Around 1573/74, Prince Joachim Ernst von Anhalt had an old Bergk Hauß that was still standing here demolished and a sheep farm built, which was moved to Harzgerode a few years later . They were replaced by a farm that included a little over ten Hufen of land. At that time Birnbaum was on a no longer existing road leading from Güntersberge to Eisleben . In 1830, 18 people lived on the Vorwerk.

A little north of the desert, the pear tree pond was created in 1636 , which from 1742 supplied the impact water for the arts of the Vorderer Pirnbaum and Glückstern pits in the Birnbaum district . The union of the Vorwerk with the Neudorf domain, which took place in 1753, was dissolved again in 1896. The area was then afforested. The holiday home area with a campsite and restaurant (Ferienpark Birnbaumteich), which is now located on the Birnbaumteich, also belongs to Neudorf.
