Dieterode is located about eight kilometers southwest of Heilbad Heiligenstadt in a depression between the Höheberg and the Rachelsberg . Neighboring places are Kalteneber in the northeast, armaments and Schwobfeld in the south and Eichstruth in the west.

history

The place was allegedly mentioned for the first time in 1184 under the name "Diethenroth", in some cases the year 1251 is also given. At times the place was desolate before it was repopulated by glassmakers at the beginning of the 16th century. The local church, dating from 1520, was rebuilt in 1785. In 1914 a station was built on the Heiligenstadt – Schwebda railway line in Dieterode. The cessation of railway operations and the dismantling of the track systems took place in 1947 due to the zone boundary at that time.

Dieterode was the seat of a general court, whose written records from the period 1779 to 1807 are now administered at the Wernigerode location of the Saxony-Anhalt State Archives . From the 16th to the 18th century, von Tastungen and the Elector of Mainz shared half of the court, and administratively it was counted under the Rusteberg office . Nothing is known about a feudal sovereignty of the place before the 16th century and was probably in regional noble possession. With the extinction of those of Tastungen, Dieterode was confiscated as a settled fiefdom from Kurmainz's share.
