history

Endorf was first mentioned in a document in 934 as the "settlement of Emmo or Egino". A striking building in Endorf is the St. Niklas Church , which was built in 1582 from field stones and old tombstones. Inside there is a late Gothic carved altar and an atonement cross built into the wall. The church tower is dated before 1150. In the Middle Ages, Endorf was a well-known mint and court, which is also indicated by the field names Galgenberg and Fahrradberg . After the Thirty Years' War , the place was acquired by Adolph Freiherr Knigge, who was best known for his behavior guide . The Endorf estate with the impressive manor house with a flight of steps returned to the property of the Knigge family after the political change in eastern Germany. In front of the estate there is a boulder to commemorate those who died in the First World War . Throughout the centuries, the people of Endorf lived mainly from agriculture. Sheep and sheep breeding was already practiced here in the 15th century.

A little above the village on a hill stands a Dutch windmill built by Johann Gottlieb Claus in 1857 , which served as a replacement for an older windmill that burned down in the same place around 1824. The mill was decommissioned in 1972. It was restored and put back into operation between 1991 and 1993, making it the only functioning tower windmill in the Eastern Harz. It has a sail gate wing, shotgun, roller mill , trieur , peeling machine and brake elevator.

Not far from Endorf are u. a. the remains of the Konradsburg . The place is also a starting point for excursions into the Lower Harz and the north-eastern Harz foreland.
