history

In 1007 the small town of Ellierode was created in the protected Alvungamark valley . At that time still under the name Alveningarod . The mansions and servants' houses in the second row were built around today's St. Stephen's Church . A predominantly religious village community developed under the protection of the Bad Gandersheim virgin monastery.

Ellierode was nicknamed "The Hidden Village" towards the end of the Second World War . When the American troops marched into Bad Gandersheim in the spring of 1945, Ellierode remained undiscovered for two weeks due to its valley location in the middle of forests. It wasn't until an airplane landed on the radiator that the Americans became aware of the village. There were two German fighters.

On March 1, 1974 Ellierode was incorporated into the city of Bad Gandersheim.
