Geographical location

Hahnenklee-Bockswiese is a double town with two settlement cores, of which Hahnenklee is the larger and therefore the better known. The district of Bockswiese ( 51 ° 51 ′  N , 10 ° 20 ′  E ) is on the connecting road that branches off  the Bundesstraße 241 to Lautenthal at Kreuzeck - between Clausthal-Zellerfeld and Goslar . From there, a district road branches off north to the Hahnenklee district and ends there. The residents of Hahnenklee wanted this cul-de-sac location, especially since the lack of through traffic means that you can advertise for tourism. The historic center of Bockswiese lies on the Grumbach .

history

The first settlements both in Hahnenklee (first mentioned in 1569) and in Bockswiese (mentioned in 1580) already existed in the 16th century. Both places have their origins in mining, which was operated in the upper Granetal and until 1930 in the upper Grumbach valley. It is believed that the Herzog-Georg-Wilhelm-Stollen and the Hahnenkleer Stollen go back to medieval beginnings. Mining was mainly carried out along the ore-rich Bockswieser Gangzug .

The early miners' settlements Hahnenklee and Bockswiese, which were spatially separated from each other, formed a political municipality since the middle of the 19th century, which bore the official double name Bockswiese-Hahnenklee. Around 1800 there were 100 inhabitants in Hahnenklee, which at that time was directly on the Heerstraße from Goslar to Lautenthal . At that time, Bockswiese only consisted of a colliery house in which 20 residents lived.

At the beginning of the 20th century Bockswiese-Hahnenklee had 491 inhabitants, 336 of whom lived in Hahnenklee.

Around Bockswiese and the Bocksberg near Hahnenklee there are several legends related to the earlier witch hunt .

At the end of the 19th century, tourism became increasingly important. It was named a state-approved spa town in 1882. In 1900, 5676 spa guests were counted. After mining was stopped, tourism - apart from forestry - became almost the only livelihood of the place.

In June 1935 the municipal council of Bockswiese-Hahnenklee decided to reverse the previous place name because Hahnenklee had outstripped the population of Bockswiese. Since the same year the community has had a coat of arms designed by the Berlin heraldist Closs.

During the late years of the Second World War , there were many billeting as part of the children's country deportation . In addition, pregnant women from cities particularly threatened by the bombing war were offered a largely undisturbed confinement in a Hahnenkleer Hotel that had been converted into a maternity ward. In those years this led to particularly high birth rates for this small community. More than 3,600 children were born in the tourist facilities confiscated by the Nazi organization “Mother and Child” (Kurhaus Bockswiese - maternity home, Haus Maria - maternity home, Hotel Waldgarten - maternity home, Haus Niedersachsen - rest home, Haus Rische - rest home, Hotel Hahnenkleer Hof - Sisters - rest home, Hotel Deutsches Haus - rest home). In a separate part of the maternity home in the Hotel Waldgarten, there was a maternity ward for Lebensborn , the notorious Nazi facility for “breeding pure-bred Aryans”. Helene (Leni) von Radziewski was the registered superior of the Waldgarten family. At the end of the war the place was filled with refugees, mostly from the East German areas. Shortly after the end of the war, the deaths of 18 Latvian babies and toddlers made national headlines. They died in the "Victoria" maternity home of the former National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV). The exact circumstances of death were never clarified. The surviving over 100 children were scattered all over the world.

Tourism boomed again from the 1950s and probably reached its peak in the 1970s. Numerous guests from northern Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Berlin, Denmark, the Netherlands and southern Sweden spent their holidays in the recognized climatic health resort. During this time, many new hotels were built with a correspondingly high number of guest beds. Towards the end of the 1980s, tourism began a massive downward trend, which has very diverse causes. Tourism has been recovering somewhat since the mid-2010s, with considerable investments in the Bocksberg and a renewed image of the place playing a role.

The community of Hahnenklee-Bockswiese was incorporated into the neighboring town of Goslar on July 1, 1972 as part of the general Lower Saxony regional reform.

Religions

The landmark of Hahnenklee is the Evangelical Gustav Adolf Church , built in 1907/08 , which was designed as a rare stave church . In 1928 a small Catholic wooden church was built, it was replaced in 1975 by the Maria Schnee church designed by Josef Fehlig , today a branch church of the parish of St. Nikolaus in Clausthal-Zellerfeld.
