history

Ironworks and village of Braunlage with church 1654
Braunlage around 1900
Wurmberg around 1900
Memorial to commemorate the division and reunification of Germany

Braunlage emerged as a settlement in the forest in the 13th century. Between 1253 and 1260, the “holtmarke to deme brunenlo” appears for the first time in the Regenstein county's list of goods . From 1518 the actual mountain and hut town of Braunlage came into being. In 1531 the name "huete to dem brunlohe" appears for the first time.

In 1561 the ironworks were rebuilt by the Count of the Blankenburg councilor Hieronimus Pathe . The Merian engraving from 1654 shows the ironworks "Braunlah auff dem Hartz located in the Kolli" and depicts the medieval mining community of Braunlage.

In 1658 the factor of the ironworks in Braunlage, Christian Walter, set up the ducal-Brunswick-Lüneburg trading post of the Braunlager ironworks. This building has been largely preserved to this day. It is one of the oldest buildings in Braunlage, has been a listed building since 1958 and has been the Harz Hotel Altes Forsthaus since 1963 .

In the 17th century Braunlage was a market town , and in 1934 it was granted city rights as a health resort . From 1946 to 1972 Braunlage was the district town of the Blankenburg district , which was dissolved with the Lower Saxony regional reform in 1972. Since this reform, Hohegeiß has been a district of Braunlage.

Tourism initially developed slowly towards the end of the 19th century. With the connection to the railway network on the routes Braunlage - Walkenried and Braunlage - Tanne of the Südharz Railway , the development accelerated. Whole villa quarters with sanatoriums and hotels emerged first on the Hütteberg, in the town center and finally in the Jermerstein district.

While the glassworks operated by Carl Röhrig in the north of Braunlage had to close in 1905, the timber industry in particular developed as a result of the railway connection. The sawmills Fuchs (town center) and Buchholz (north of the train station) were the most important sources of income. In addition, a large quarry on the Wurmberg , in which stone and rough stones were extracted, with a gravel works on the Warmen Bode, shaped the commercial life of the city. This quarry, in which the Wurmberg granite was broken, is so huge that it is clearly visible even from the plateau near Sankt Andreasberg .

In the first decade of the 20th century, the bus also conquered the Harz with the Bad Harzburg –Braunlage line. The name Büssing plays a special role in this context: He ran the Bad Harzburg line and built a rest home for employees in Braunlage. The bus line was discontinued in 1962/1963.

During the Nazi era there were a number of factories in Braunlage that worked for armaments, many of them with slave labor. The latter is remembered at the Braunlage mountain cemetery. A stele on the grounds of the Evangelical Trinity Congregation has been commemorating death marches that passed Braunlage in April 1945 since 2001 .

In 1963 the Wurmberg cable car was opened , initially from the middle station near the toboggan house, with a length of 1362 m and a height difference of 250 m to the mountain station on the Wurmberg. The second construction phase from the valley station at the large car park to the middle station was completed in the summer of 1965, a further 150 m height difference was overcome and 1,500 m in length were added to the cable car , creating the longest cable car in northern Germany. In the direction of Brocken, the highest mountain in the Harz Mountains, the Wurmbergschanze was located on the Wurmberg .

On May 7, 1964, Gerhard Zucker organized a demonstration of postal rockets on the Hasselkopf . One of these missiles exploded and two people were killed by flying debris (→ see: accident at the rocket demonstration in Braunlage 1964 ).

The opening of the border in 1989 was an outstanding event for Braunlage. The place that had previously been on the border with the GDR now moved to the heart of the Harz Mountains. A memorial on the inner-German border , which also forms the municipal boundary between Braunlage and Elend , right next to the B 27, commemorates the division and reunification of Germany . However, the economic expectations linked to German unity were not fulfilled. If Braunlage was a well-visited holiday resort until German reunification, in the following years it got into considerable economic difficulties due to the discontinuation of zone border funding and increasing competition from the Eastern Harz region - the number of overnight stays fell by almost that between 1991 and 2006 Half.

Since the upgrading of the Wurmberg ski area, the number of overnight stays in Braunlage has increased. In 2016, the place had around 894,000 overnight stays. In 2017 there were almost 1.3 million overnight stays.

For the presentation of postal history see: Postal history of Braunlage , postal history of Hohegeiß and postal route Braunschweig-Blankenburg .

Origin of the place name

Earlier names of the place were: 1227 Brunla, 1234 Brunenla, 1235–1289 Brunenlo, around 1260 Brunenlo, 1518 Brunlohe, 1518 Braunlohe, 1531 Brunlohe, 1594 Braunenlaw, 1595 Brunlawe, 1595 Braunlag, 1610 Braunla, Braunlahe, 1621 Braun Lohe, 1622 Braunlohe , 1643 Braunlahe, 1650 Braunlah, 1679 Braunlage and 1690 Braunlahe. The following can be concluded from this: There is no name with the component -lage , as the current form seems to suggest , but the original -la- . The second part contains the East Westphalian -la , to which the -lo (h) for forest corresponds in many other place names . The first part could contain the Low German brūn for “brown”. However, since the relation of a meaning "brown forest, brown forest" is unclear, it must also be expected that another word could be the basis, which in Old Iceland as brūn for "brow, edge, protruding edge (for example of a mountain range)" proves is.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1972, the municipality of Hohegeiß was incorporated.

On November 1, 2011, the town of Braunlage and the mining town of Sankt Andreasberg merged with the primary goal of reducing costs through joint administration. The merger to form the new town of Braunlage was decided on March 16, 2011 by the Lower Saxony state parliament.

coat of arms

Braunlage coat of arms
Blazon : "In silver on three green hills three green spruce trees with black trunks, the middle one being higher."
Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms was awarded on December 20, 1935 by the Reich Governor of Anhalt and Braunschweig. It emphasizes the natural location between the Brocken, Achtermann and Wurmberg mountains with three trees and the hilly landscape. The mountains are sometimes tinged brown, probably in an incorrect allusion to the place name, but this is heraldically incorrect. The spruce trees are already featured in the coat of arms of the steel mill Walther in Braunlage in 1693. Three old court seals, one of which is dated 1727, show either a spruce rooted on the ground or a large one, accompanied by two smaller ones.

First of all, the "Lower Kurpark" that was first created with the spa guest center, concert area, "grotto" and the spa pond with a high fountain. This is followed by the “Obere Kurpark”, which is located on a slope and features a water treading area , a kote , the stone cliff with a von Langen monument and a variety of different native and foreign trees. The upper spa park is also managed in cooperation with a private operator who maintains a swing golf course there .

graveyard

In the cemetery there is a war cemetery for German soldiers who died in World War II, as well as prisoners of war and forced laborers.

Natural sights

The natural sights in Braunlage include the stone cliff and the large and small Bodefall.

The Wurmberg is to be named as well as the neighboring Achtermann and the Brocken. The rocky Jermerstein northwest of Braunlage is a tourist destination, as is the Warme Bode with the Großer Bodefall and the Kleiner Bodefall in the north and the Bodewiesen in the south. In the direction of Sorge, hikers can follow both the west and east sides of the Warmen Bode and the Bremke, which rises on the Wurmberg. These paths, which mostly follow the former inner-German border , are also easy to navigate by bike. In the direction of Sankt Andreasberg, the silver pond and the Hahnenklee cliffs are worth a mention.

Natural monuments

Museums

Local history museum at the spa park

The local history and ski museum (official FIS ski museum) provides information about local history as well as the development of skiing in general and especially in the Harz Mountains.

Sports

Braunlage is an important winter sports resort in the Harz Mountains. The Wurmbergschanze , on which the FIS held the Ski Jumping Continental Cup until 2011 , is known nationwide .

The year-round sports facilities on the Wurmberg are to be expanded considerably by 2012. With an investment volume of 7.5 million euros, this “Wurmberg 2015” concept also includes the construction of a snow-making system.

Wurmberg Stadium

Ice hockey has been played in the Wurmberg Stadium since 1974 . In 2009, after a long break, another tournament for the Wurmberg Cup was held. Participating teams were the Hanover Indians , the Iserlohn Roosters , the DEG Metro Stars and the eventual winner the Kassel Huskies . In the 1970s and 1980s, the ice hockey tournament took place annually with an international field of participants. Participating teams included the national team of Poland , HK Spartak Moscow and HK CSKA Moscow , TPS Turku ( Finland ) and PHK Krylja Sowetow Moscow as well as other teams from the former ČSSR , Romania and Sweden as well as the top teams in Germany at the time.

On the nine-hole swingolf course, the Swingolfclub Harz u. a. held the annual Harz Open.

The Braunlage bike park has been built on the Wurmberg. Events (downhill races) also take place on the 18 km route. Many laid-out routes with a length of up to 4.5 km are largely natural and use the specific topography of the Wurmberg. A 6-seater gondola bridges the approx. 400 vertical meters and brings the riders from the valley to the 972 m high summit. In the immediate vicinity of the mountain station there are two starting platforms, from which two different routes can be traveled.

Hikers pass Braunlage as one of the stops on the Harz Hexenstieges .

Regular events

  • Köhler Festival (until 2012)
  • Christmas / Advent market

Economy and Infrastructure

tourism

Braunlage traditionally forms one of the centers of tourism in the Harz. In addition to well-developed hotels and restaurants in a wide variety of price categories, there are also offers for campers and leisure facilities such as skiing and hiking opportunities and an ice rink. If one tried for a long time to imitate alpine mountain resorts in terms of the type of presentation and marketing, there are increasing voices calling for the sharpening of one's own profile. At the same time one tries to attract more affluent public with offers of higher quality. Nevertheless, several hoteliers got into existential difficulties in recent years due to the lack of holiday guests.

traffic

Street

Braunlage can be reached by car via federal road 4 , which crosses the Harz when coming from Braunschweig , and federal road 27 , which leads into the eastern part of the Harz. To relieve the Braunlager town center, a bypass road was built along the B 4, but it does not keep traffic from east to west out of the center. During the main season, the city center is very busy with car traffic.

railroad

Until 1962, the bot South Harz Railway Company with the narrow-gauge railway Walkenried Braunlage / Spruce rail connection towards Walkenried . The connection to Sorge with connection to the network of the Harz narrow-gauge railways had already been interrupted in 1945. After 2000, the construction of a new rail connection to the Harz narrow-gauge railways was discussed again. The next in operation narrow-gauge train stations are worry and misery on the Harzquerbahn . The nearest train stations for standard gauge railways are in Bad Harzburg , Bad Lauterberg-Barbis and Walkenried. The last-mentioned stations are on the southern Harz line .

Public buses

There are line connections to Bad Harzburg, Bad Sachsa, Sankt Andreasberg, Walkenried and via Elend to Wernigerode. In terms of tariffs, Braunlage lies at the intersection of several transport associations: to the north (Bad Harzburg) the Kraftverkehrsgesellschaft Braunschweig (KVG), to the east (Wernigerode) the Verkehrs- und Tarifgemeinschaft Ostharz (VTO) and to the south (Bad Sachsa) the Verkehrsverbund Süd-Niedersachsen (VSN) .

education

Brown location has a primary ( "worm Bergschule") and a school center (since 1834 in the center near the spa) with a cooperative main and secondary school and the upper secondary sub-stage ( "upper resin School"). Since the school year 2011/12, the lower secondary level (formerly Hauptschule and Realschule) has been converted into a high school with all-day operation.

In order to maintain the Braunlage school location in the long term, since the 2006/07 school year no longer only pupils from Braunlage, Hohegeiß, Zorge and Sankt Andreasberg have been accepted, but also from the Saxon-Anhalt towns of Benneckenstein and Tanne .
