About this picture

Dorstadt is a municipality of the Oderwald municipality (seat in Börßum ) in the Wolfenbüttel district in Lower Saxony ( Germany ).

geography

Dorstadt is located between Wolfenbüttel and Schladen on the eastern slope of the Oderwald directly on the Oker , naturally in the Börßum-Braunschweiger Okertal . This is formed by the Oker, the earlier course of the Ilse and the Warne flowing into the Oker in Dorstadt . On the right bank, several elevations such as the Westerberg and the Spitzberg form the rather forestless landscape. Two kilometers north, on the left bank, is Ohrum with the historic Oker crossing and a few kilometers south of Heiningen and on the right of the Oker the former Börßum railway junction .

history

Dorstadt was first mentioned in 1110. Eiko von Dorstadt, who had his ancestral seat in today's Dorstadt, received the episcopal castle Schladen from Bishop Udo von Hildesheim. In 1167 the community was mentioned in a document as Neuendorf .

The history of the place was linked to that of the Dorstadt monastery for 600 years . In 1189 the Augustinian women's choir of the Holy Cross was donated by the noblemen in front of Dorstadt. The monastery continuously increased its property by buying land in the neighboring villages, up to Bruchmachtersen in the 13th century the monastery property increased to 1000 hectares of fields. After a “Protestant interim phase” from 1568, the Augustinians returned in 1643.

The monastery was secularized in 1802. In 1810 the monastery was sold as a manor.
