Geographical location

The place is located southwest of Wolfenbüttel and west of the Oderwald . The streams flowing from the Oderwald to Cramme unite above the village to form the Meesche , which after just under a kilometer from the right flows towards the Fuhse , more precisely the Alte Fuhse .

history

Place name

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1150 as "Cramme". Since then, the name has only varied occasionally - there are occasional mention of "Kramme" (1269) or "Kram" (1242) - and the first form has been preserved to this day. The name is based on a form Cramme or Cramma, which is derived from the Indo-European “grem” (moist) or Gothic “qrammiþa” (moisture) and the Old Norse “kramr” (moist, half-thawed by snow). The geographical location with the flowing streams and the proximity to the Fuhseniederung could have been a motive for the choice of the place name.

By the way

There are assumptions that the historical Deitweg , which was already mentioned for 747, which coming from Pilsenbrück crossed the Oker in Ohrum and led further into the Oderwald, crossed the Fuhse at Cramme. It is viewed as part of a long-distance Rhine-Elbe route.
