from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ellingerode desert is located in the district of Katlenburg-Lindau in the Northeim district in southern Lower Saxony .

location

Ellingerode was about one kilometer northwest of Lindau on the edge of the Eichsfeld in the vicinity of Wachenhausen and the Albrechtshausen domain; the exact location between the districts of Lindau, Wachenhausen and Katlenburg is not known. The former place lies in the lowlands between the Rhume and its right-hand tributary Oder on today's federal road 247 .

History of the desert

The first written mention of the place Ellingherode comes from the year 1290, Abbot Heinrich von Corvey hands over all goods to Ellingerode von Albrecht von der Rhume to the Katlenburg monastery. In other documents between 1290 and 1311 various owners or buyers of goods are named, including the bishop of Hildesheim, the Corvey monastery , Albert von der Ruma and Hermann called von Uderde, a nephew of Albert.

There are last mentions for the years 1318 and 1330 as Eldingerode. It is not known exactly whether the place was no longer inhabited at that time or whether it was abandoned a short time later. In 1525 the place is mentioned again in a document in connection with a Katlenburger Stiftswiese. In this area, an Ellingeroder meadow is still known at the beginning of the 20th century.

Origin of name

The spellings vary in the known documents between Ellingerode and Eldingerode. The origin of the name refers to a first name "Aldo-" in connection with the basic word "-rode" or "-ingerode".
