Göttingerode [ ˈgœ.tɪŋə.ˌʁoːdə ] (from Old Saxon Gotingeroth ; occasionally with prefix: Göttingerode settlement , Oker dialect Jettchenrue ) is a district of the Lower Saxon town of Bad Harzburg on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains with 811 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019). The place was founded in 1935 as a miners' settlement for the iron ore mine Hansa in the area of the municipality of Harlingerode and fell to the city of Bad Harzburg in 1972 with the regional reform. The name of the place is derived from the nearby Göttingerode desert.
The former Langenberg limestone quarry on the border with Harlingerode is of supraregional importance due to its exemplary nature for the North Harz Fault and the discovery of the Europäischeaurus holgeri .
geography
In the statistics, 135 hectares of Göttingerode - more precisely, the Harlingeröder Feldmark south of the Langenberg - are assigned as a field. Due to the geologically striking position between the high mountains of the Harz Mountains and the immediate fore landscape, Göttingerode has been geologically exceptionally well investigated.
Location and neighboring places
Göttingerode is located northwest of the Bad Harzburg core area in a valley between the Langenberg in the north, Oker and Tönneckenkopf in the west, the Goldberg in the south and Schlewecke in the east.

The view of the Langenberg limestone quarry is, along with the Harz, a striking feature of the Göttingen landscape.
Geology and waters
The soils in Göttingerode are geologically shaped by Kahleberg sandstone from the Keuper in the south, while Jurassic limestone is characteristic of the northern part of the small district. The North Harz Rand Fault , which also forms the border to the North German lowlands , begins south of the Tönneckenkopf , which is characterized by shell limestone . Several brooks flow from the Harz Mountains, of which the Gläsecke, which flows southeast into the Radau , and the Röseckenbach, which flows southwest into the Oker , are of great importance.
The former oolithic iron ore deposits were sunk as far as possible by 1960, they were mined in the north of the local area from the Hansa mine and transported to the Mathildenhütte located in Westerode , among other places .
Biotopes and nature conservation
To the west of Göttingerode is the Tönneckenkopf – Röseckenbach nature reserve , which includes the Röseckenbach floodplain and the area of the Tönneckenkopf and is accessible via two dirt roads. In the north, Göttingerode also has a share in the Östlicher Langenberg nature reserve , which can be accessed through a variety of paths to Harlingerode and Schlewecke.
Like the neighboring towns of Oker and Harlingerode, which are economically very similar, the soils of Göttingen are heavily polluted by heavy metals (especially zinc, lead, arsenic and cadmium), but no agriculture is practiced in the district. Large parts of the Langenberg are cordoned off due to the mining past; this applies to the Langenberg limestone quarry, the former Hansa mine and the “second quarry”, which is located immediately north of Hansaweg and east of Kreisstrasse.
history
Affiliation Göttingerode
prehistory
A find from the Neolithic Age is documented for Göttingerode . A badly weathered part of a shoe last was found on the parcel Auf dem Brande .
Place name
In the first mention in 1163 the place is called Gotingeroht . Further mentions of the place are:
- 1181: Gothincheroth
- 13th century: Gottingerodde
- 1461/1470: Göttingerode
The current place name reflects the language level towards the end of the 15th century, when Alt-Göttingerode was last mentioned as a recent place. Designations as desert / field name are:
- 1578: Göttingeroda ("Wischen in Göttingeroda")
- 1607: Gottingerode ("Wischenplatz ben Gottingerode located")
The name Göttingerode can be traced back to a short form Godo , the short form of Godemar. The ending -ingerode is very common in the Bad Harzburg area and refers here to the old Saxon clearing on the edge of the Harz during the High Middle Ages. The village of Göddeckerode , in the neighboring district of Harz , is based on the same archetype Gotingeroth .
In the course of time, further dialectic blurring occurred, from Gotingerode via Gottgerode , Göddekenrode to Jettgerode / Götjenrode . It is likely that Göttingerode goes back to a name like Godo , the short form of Godemar. Here, too, the origin can also lie in Gotthart (strong in God) or Gottwald (ruling in God). The language level Göttingerode crystallized after a preference phase for Gottingerode in the 20th century and was ultimately also officially chosen for the new establishment.
Alt-Göttingerode
To the southwest of today's town center is the Alt-Göttingerode desert (coordinates: 51 ° 53 ′ N , 10 ° 30 ′ E ). As for the other clearing sites in the immediate vicinity, it can be assumed that Alt-Göttingerode was founded between the 9th and 11th centuries. It was a relatively insignificant settlement the size of a hamlet or farm. When exactly Alt-Göttingerode fell into desolation is controversial: Gotingeroht is already referred to as “overgrown by trees” when it was first mentioned (“in loco nemoroso videlicet Gotingeroht ”). While the local historian Richard Wieries saw this in the 1930s as an indication that Göttingerode fell into desolation early on, Konrad Sandte paid no attention to this formulation in 2003. In view of the fact that Alt-Göttingerode is already a clearing settlement by name, and also very close to the edge of the Harz, the latter approach seems more logical. Between 1163 and 1468 Göttingerode is mentioned in seven documents. Since from 1510 Göttingerode is no longer mentioned among the places of the Bad Harzburg office, it can be assumed that the settlement was abandoned at the end of the 15th century.
Intermediate period
After the desert fall of Alt-Göttingerode, the old Göttingen village church initially remained in the landscape; it was demolished to support a brickworks in Oker . Schlewecke and Harlingerode initially claimed the old field mark as a common pasture before a violent dispute over the territory broke out between the two villages, which ultimately turned out to be in favor of Harlingerode.
The oldest existing building in Göttingerode is the old forester's house built in 1680. It was originally intended as a hunter's house and was rededicated to the Okerforsthaus in 1830 . It has been rebuilt in several steps since 1953 and is now used for residential purposes.
Over the centuries, all traces of the old settlement disappeared. Only the arrangement of the city stairs and some field names still reminded of the existence of the village and immediately saved the place name until the 20th century.
Start-up
By the economic self-sufficiency efforts of the NSDAP in the German Reich was in the Harz hut areas Rammelsberg project initiated. This was accompanied by an increase in activities in the Harzburg area: the Harlingerode zinc smelter was built from 1935 and the Hansa mine, which had been founded in 1865, began operations again. At that time there were profitable iron ore deposits under Göttingen soil.
In 1934 the Free State of Braunschweig therefore approved the re-establishment of Göttingerode at its current position. On March 21, 1935, the foundation stone was laid by the Brunswick Minister Friedrich Alpers and by 1937 the village was built as a National Socialist model settlement on the Dammwiese , a corridor in the area of the then Harlingerode municipality . The plan was to build around 220 houses and several shops for daily needs. In the initial phase it was still unclear how the settlement should be named. In 1937, a few years after it was founded, it was only casually associated with the name Göttingerode:
"Since 1934, a stately village as a workers' settlement has emerged north of the desert [Göttingerode] between Stadtstieg and Langenberg, Grünem Stieg and the Okerforsthaus – Schlewecke road."
In a first advertising campaign that lasted until 1937, unemployed and penniless miners from the Mansfeld region were recruited to settle in Göttingerode. For this purpose, they were granted an employer loan by the Krupp-Hoesch consortium (Harz-Lahn-Erzbergbau GmbH), which allowed them to build a half-timbered house with an equity contribution of 60 to 70%. For this, the buildings were tied to the company and any alterations required prior approval. Other residents came from the neighboring villages of Bündheim , Harlingerode, Immenrode , Lochtum , Oker , Schlewecke and, last but not least, today's core town. The basic construction was completed in 1937.
The early years in Göttingerode were difficult because the residents lacked the necessary equity to properly develop their parcels. In the 1930s, the business was limited to a baker, a butcher and a retail salesman. Due to its position opposite the village community center, this area was given the name “Am Markt”, which is still used today for the kindergarten.
The outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 caused the somewhat developing social life in Göttingerode to collapse. A forestry prisoner of war camp was set up. Among other things, Wilhelm Baumgarten sat here , who was also the rector of the secondary and primary school in the village.
Early years
After the war, Göttingerode was particularly hard hit by structural problems, so that in the immediate post-war period it first found its fame as “Hungersdorf” and “Elendsdorf” with a certain gallows humor. In the course of the flight and expulsion of Germans from Central and Eastern Europe from 1945 to 1950 , the last construction project for the time being was Hüttenstrasse with around thirty residential units. In some cases, Silesian miners were specifically recruited here who found new work in the Hansa mine.
The increases in production at the Harlingerode zinc smelter as a result of the Korean War in the early 1950s led to an increase in pollutant emissions. These fell as precipitation on the fruit and vegetable gardens of the households, which were largely inedible. The pollutant problem was taken into account by raising several chimneys.
In the 1950s, many residents felt they were financially disadvantaged in relation to their community seat in Harlingerode, and in Harlingerode itself Göttingerode was not in a good light: the village was perceived as a foreign body in the community area, in Low German the settlers were mocked as "Jai hinder Barje" (the one behind the mountain). The choice of mayor Wilhelm Baumgarten was initially controversial due to his Göttingen origin. A rapprochement only took place through municipal support during the dispute over Harz-Lahn-Bergbau GmbH and the various restoration measures, especially from 1960.
The opencast mining of the Hansa mine has been carried out in the last few years in expansion construction , the resulting cavities were not filled or supported. Until the iron mine was shut down, this resulted in some immense damage to the mountains, particularly affecting the former Langenbergstrasse (forerunner of the Hansaweg ). Over time, the effects spread to the south, in the area of Kreisstrasse , Schulstrasse and Harzstrasse . A legal dispute between the Harz-Lahn-Erzbergbau GmbH and the state of Lower Saxony created a strong bureaucratic hurdle to contain the damage and to get the situation under control. The damage meant that the northern townscape was destroyed and consequently around forty houses had to be demolished and the gymnasium was closed by a ministerial order.
All this had the consequence that an identity of the inhabitants developed during this time. The local sports club SV Göttingerode and the men's choir were founded as early as 1948 , the women's choir followed in 1950 and the rifle club in 1952. Finally, the community of interests of the Göttingerode settlers was founded in 1955 , which emerged from the split from the Siedlerbund and made particular efforts to support the victims due to mining and emissions damage.
After 1960
With the closure of the Hansa mine in 1960, Göttingerode lost its former main industry in mining; the so-called "second quarry" east of today's county road had already been closed. However, this also meant the withdrawal of Harz-Lahn-Erzbergbau AG from the local scene, so that the renovation regulations that had been strict until then were no longer applicable and the residents were able to carry out necessary renovations and redesigns of their houses. A five-year building ban previously imposed by the damage in the mountains was overturned in May 1963, but new foundations were still necessary on the houses to be built.
In 1964, the Harlingerode community reached an agreement with Harz-Lahn-Erzbergbau AG to restore the destroyed road segments: the former Langenbergstrasse gave way to Hansaweg , which again provided a west-east connection in the village. A ring main was also built in 1965, through which the drinking water supply could be guaranteed again. Discussions with a community merger with Schlewecke, since part of the place was in Schlewecker or later Bündheimer municipality area, were corrected by exchanging the incorrectly planned areas.
In 1971 the new sports area on the Tönneckenkopf was inaugurated.
In the local elections on October 22, 1972, Göttingerode showed the highest voter turnout of all localities in Lower Saxony with 98%.
Between 1970 and 1975 the subsidence areas on the Langenberg were filled in with the garbage produced by the newly merged city of Bad Harzburg. Before and during that time, the area was used by playing children, but the backfilling contributed significantly to the leveling of the mountain damage caused by superficial limestone mining and the penetration holes in the Hansa mine. The area north of the Hansaweg was fenced in 1995 and is not approved for public access.
Until 1987 the federal highway 6 touched the settlement from the south. After the opening of the four-lane new line between Bad Harzburg and Goslar north of Harlingerode, the road was stepped down to state road L 501 .
In 1999 in the Langenberg limestone quarry, the Europäischeaurus was discovered, making the Langenberg one of the most archeologically rich objects in Germany. In October 2006 the farewell forest Goldberg was opened.
Demographics
In 1936 136 households were counted for the town of Göttingerode; this number increased to 598 by 1976.
Göttingerode had 1,444 inhabitants in 1976, but the number of inhabitants fell by 32.6 percent by 2014: it fell below the 1,000 mark in 2010 and reached a low of 973 in 2014, before the number of inhabitants again between 2015 and 2017 grew and fell in 2018.

Post Code
Until the regional reform, Göttingerode had the zip code "3383 Harlingerode", after which the place was led until 1993 under the zip code of the core town "3388 Bad Harzburg".
Location
After the war it was found that the single-family houses were on the eastern side of the Brandweg and on the northeast edge of the forest road in Schlewecker and later in Bündheimer municipality area. In the 1960s, a boundary correction was therefore carried out so that these parts officially became part of Göttingen.
On July 1, 1972, Göttingerode was incorporated into the city of Bad Harzburg with Harlingerode as part of the regional reform in Lower Saxony . Göttingerode changed on 1 March 1974 by the Wolfenbüttel district in the district of Goslar .
Stairs
Göttingerode was not completely built without the orientation of previous streets:
- The Goslarer Stadtstieg was an old, but in the 20th century already meaningless connection from the Bad Harzburg city center to Oker and from there to Goslar ; the name Goslarsche Strasse in the city center is a reminder of this. After the settlement was founded, the path was christened Am Stadtstieg and expanded into a street in the village. The Okerforsthaus was also due to him.
- A staircase, later named as Kreisstraße , opened up the Harlingeröder Feldmark with the areas south of the Langenberg. It crossed the Goslarer Stadtstieg to the west of the Okerforsthaus and then continued into the Harz towards Goldberg. It was also fortified and now provides the north-south connection to Harlingerode in the original course.
- The Bohlweg leads from Schlewecke to the Okerforsthaus. The construction of the later federal highway 6 immediately to the south made a complete asphalting redundant, but it was asphalted in Göttingen local area and baptized with the name Alter Brand .
Economy and Infrastructure
The most important economic factor after the decline of the Hansa mine is tourism. Quite a few houses are rented out as holiday apartments, the location between Langenberg and Goldberg makes Göttingerode an attractive location.
The Göttingerode campsite ("Harz-Camp Göttingerode") was founded in 1956 by the married couple Walter and Anna Gilge south of the former Bundesstraße 6. In April 2019, Göttingeröder Platz was taken over by the Kiel tourism company Regenbogen AG. The “Café Goldberg”, located in a somewhat remote location, already existed before the settlement was founded.
In 2006 the “Farewell Forest Goldberg” was built south of the village. It is a forest cemetery for pets. The plant is operated by the Lower Saxony State Forests and is the first of its kind in Lower Saxony. In the meantime, the concept has also been introduced in other parts of the state. An expansion of the farewell forest was announced in November 2018.
traffic
Via the L 501 , Göttingerode is connected to the federal highway 498 to Oker and Goslar in the west and Bündheim and the city center to the east. To the north, the district road leads over the Langenberg to Harlingerode , from where there is a connection to the federal highway 6 and the federal highway 369 .
The bus line 810 (HarzBus, Goslar – Göttingerode – Bad Harzburg) has a stop on the L 501. In school traffic, the bus line 871 ( KVG Braunschweig , Stadtverkehr Bad Harzburg) runs from Harlingerode through Göttingerode in a ring-like manner, the bus line 810 then serves the Bus stops at Stadtstieg and Querstraße .
Hiking and biking trails
Further paths open up Göttingerode with the surrounding area: In a south-westerly direction, a path leads from Göttingerode up to the Kästeklippen , a group of rocks ( 602 m above sea level ) in the Upper Harz Mountains above the Okertal . The Stadtstieg leads through Göttingerode from Bündheim to the Klusfelsen in Goslar , another path north of Göttingerode runs on the southern slope of the Langenberg and connects Schlewecke with Oker .
The European cycle route R1 runs south of the village .
education
kindergarten
The municipal kindergarten "Am Markt 6" is located in the village community center. In 2018, the kindergarten was expanded to include the first floor of the village community center in order to meet the growing demand. In January 2019, a new group room for 25 children was opened.
On June 21, 2019, the Göttingerode kindergarten officially gained its independence, a day nursery with places for 15 children was set up during the first half of the year. Until then, the kindergarten was run between August 2012 and June 2019 as a branch of the Schleweck Kindergarten "Bahnhofstraße 6b".
Former elementary school
Up until the end of the 1983/84 school year, the Göttingen elementary school was located in the village as a branch of the Harlingerode elementary school. The last 80 or so primary school students have been taught in the previous main office in Harlingerode since then. As early as 1959, the upper level of the school was closed.
Culture, sights and the townscape
The housing strategy was developed by the in Oker located Adenbergsiedlung taken: Family houses were built with barn and garden, a self-supply with food ( subsistence farming to enable). The road network was built following the parcels in a north-south orientation; an east-west connection is only incomplete via the streets Querstraße / Am Markt / Brandweg and is based on the village community center. The northern boundary is the Hansaweg , named after the iron ore mine , which borders directly on the free parcels of the Langenberg. The village has a village community center that can accommodate up to 180 people plus a bar room.
The choral societies in Göttingerode have an important tradition throughout the city. The men 's choir Göttingerode von 1948 eV and the women's choir Göttingerode von 1950 eV have a total of around 110 members and shared a floor in the village community center with the Harzburg mandolin orchestra until 2018 . The local women's choir, which still exists today, was founded in 1950.
Since 2016, a "Metal Feast" has been taking place in the village community center in the middle of the year, organized by the Clausthal-Zellerfeld band Zappenduster . Several death metal bands from the Braunschweiger Land will perform at this event .
religion
There is an Evangelical Lutheran parish hall in the village. Together with Schlewecke, Göttingerode forms a parish.
Clubs and sports
There is a sports field with a sports center on the southwestern edge. The local soccer club is SV Göttingerode von 1948 eV, which offers gymnastics and aerobics courses in addition to soccer. He celebrated his 70th birthday on July 22, 2018. The SVG's Tönnheads darts division is also of regional importance .
Other clubs in town are:
- Schützengesellschaft Göttingerode from 1948 eV
- Göttingerode eV settler interest group
- Table tennis club TTV Göttingerode
Club home of SV Göttingerode at Tönneckenkopf
