Dorste is a village in the southwestern Harz foreland and district of the town of Osterode am Harz in the Göttingen district in southern Lower Saxony , Germany , and is located on the edge of the district on the border with the Northeim district . Dorste currently has 1,505 inhabitants (as of July 1, 2012).
geography
Dorste, which used to be called Dorstide, Dorstede and Dorstat, is about 10 km away from the district town of Osterode am Harz on the edge of the Harz in southern Lower Saxony. The villages of Berka , Schwiegershausen, Förste , Ührde, Wulften and Marke are in the vicinity of the village . The river Söse flows near the place ; a shallow hilly landscape characterizes the surrounding area.
history
Dorste was mentioned for the first time in 1218 in a letter of foundation from the Jakobikloster in Osterode. Before that, the hills around the place were populated by smaller villages, which have gradually merged into the village of Dorste (including Thomashagen, Helmoldshagen, Altenhagen). Some street names still indicate these old villages today (e.g. Hagenstrasse).
The Nuremberg military and trade route, which stretched from Lübeck to northern Italy, ran through Dorste .
Apart from belonging to the Guelph domain, nothing further is known about the place until the middle of the 13th century. In 1269 Dorste came under the rule of Otto's son Albrecht when Otto "the child" divided it. When it was divided again, Dorste fell to Heinrich “the miraculous” in 1285 .
In the 14th century, the area around Dorste was occupied for several decades. In 1365 Friedrich, Landgrave of Thuringia , took the palaces and fortresses between Stauffenburg and Osterode in the war against Duke Albrecht I, including Lichtenstein Castle near Dorste. In the following period, the power over the place changed more often between the Archdiocese of Mainz, the Duke Albrecht von Grubenhagen and the cities of Osterode and Herzberg am Harz . The families von Dyke, von Hoyer, von Leuthorst as well as the monasteries in Einbeck, Katlenburg and Hildesheim owned land, farms and tax rights in and around Dorste.
Nothing more precise about village events has survived either from the time of the Thirty Years 'War (1618–1648) or the Seven Years' War (1757–1764). The place was partially destroyed in the Thirty Years War. Shortly afterwards, the oldest church invoice from 1665 can be found, while the church records are kept as early as 1627. The St. Cyriaci Church was built in 1824 and is 22 m long and 14 m wide. The lower part of the older church tower, in which the Hedemanns' hereditary burial was located, has simple stone walls , pointed arched windows and a wooden ceiling that forms a vault.
At the time of the French occupation by Napoleon in what is now Germany (1807-1815), Dorste belonged to the newly established Kingdom of Westphalia. More precisely, the place was in the Harz department of the kingdom in the Osterode district, canton Lindau . A company of the 95th French Regiment occupied the village for a few months in 1803, but soon had to withdraw. However, the company moved back into the area in 1807 and stayed there until 1813. On July 27, 1814, the peace festival was celebrated at the final end of the occupation.
After the Wars of Liberation and the liberation of the peasants, Dorste's situation deteriorated. Bad harvests and cholera resulted in famine, due to which some Dorst citizens emigrated to America .
From the middle of the 19th century, however, the economic situation of the village improved again due to the high productivity of its farms. This was u. a. As a result of the coupling of the land, through which small parcels were amalgamated and previous common areas were allocated to individual farms. The municipality of Dorste was therefore one of the richer in the Osterode district from this point on. In 1895 a dairy was founded, from 1910 there was electricity in the village and in 1911 the new schoolhouse was built.
In the time of the Weimar Republic with its economic crises, the village was still doing comparatively well due to its agricultural structure. The bourgeois parties obtained a majority of votes in the elections until 1930. After that the National Socialists prevailed more and more.
After the Second World War , the economic structure of the village changed. Due to improved technology and lower profitability, the number of jobs in the agricultural sector decreased. More and more people found work in companies located in nearby cities.
On July 1, 1972, Dorste was incorporated into the city of Osterode. In the years 1975-78, the agricultural areas were again consolidated through another land consolidation.
The Edelhof
The Edelhof was built as a settlement by Braun Gerlach, who later moved in with his wife, the noble Anna von Vetterott. Your child was called "Hans von Dorste". After his death at the beginning of the 17th century, the chancellor Johann Jagemann bought the farm and lived in it with his family. From 1617 the Hedemanns lived on the Edelhof. They received the court as a fiefdom for their services to Duke Christian von Braunschweig and practiced a. a. Serfdom had a strong influence on the economic and cultural life of the Dorsters in the following 250 years. After some disputes about the court, they too were raised to the nobility at the beginning of the 18th century. By enlarging their possessions after the Thirty Years' War (in the middle of the 18th century they owned two large and 27 small farms as well as the paper mill built in 1619), the family became very rich in the meantime and was able to own a pleasure garden that no longer exists and several extensions to the noble farm Afford.
Between 1708 and 1859, a total of 25 members of the family were buried in a crypt under the church. In the middle of the 19th century, however, the Hedemanns became impoverished and the Edelhof was sold to Friedrich Ohlmer. In 1882 the farm was then sold on to the community.
The Lichtenstein
Approx. three kilometers away from Dorste located on the wooded Lichtenstein the ruins of once the Dukes of Grubenhagen belonging, Castle Lichtenstein . From there, robber barons besieged the Nuremberg military and trade route in the Middle Ages. The castle was first attested around 1404, but its origin is certainly older. In 1507 the permanent house, after it had already been mortgaged, was sold to the Lords of Leuthorst . Since the castle is made of light-colored plaster, it was also called the Silver Castle, today only a large remains of the wall testify to the former permanent house. Lately this place has attracted a lot of attention because a cave ( Lichtensteinhöhle ) with well-preserved skeletons from the Bronze Age was discovered near the castle ruins .
Religions
The majority of the inhabitants of Dorstes are of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination. The local St. Cyriaci parish includes the church, the parish hall and a rectory. Other denominations or religions are not represented with their own communities.
politics
Since the local elections on September 11, 2016, the local council has consisted of eleven council members and councilors (changes compared to 2011):
Culture and sights
Regular events
- Schüttenhoff
Schüttenhoff is the name given to the shooting festival that takes place every four years on Whitsun in Dorste and other villages in the area. Historically, the festival stems from the need for villagers to defend themselves earlier against knighthoods and other enemies. The landlords urged that shooting and drill exercises be held in the villages in order to be prepared in the event of a dispute.
The first documented Schüttenhoff took place in Dorste in 1742. The first trailer on the so-called “gem”, a device to which another trailer with the name of the Bestemann is added to each Schüttenhoff, comes from this year.
