history
A hermit named Günther is mentioned in the year 1006 , who gave the village to the Benedictine monastery in Göllingen . The name of the hermit could be the etymological origin of today's place name: Günserode = "clearing of Günther".
In 1265 the place came to the monastery Kapelle , which was on the left bank of the Wipper between Günserode and Seega . In 1193 it became a Benedictine monastery and was closed again around 1537, probably as a result of the Reformation . Later, a chapel mill with an excursion restaurant was built here , of which only a ruin remains today.
The place had been owned by the House of Schwarzburg since 1356 and became part of the rule of the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt . After the end of the First World War, the Free State of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt was established at the end of November 1919, and it was incorporated into the State of Thuringia in 1920.
On December 31, 2012, the community of Günserode merged with other communities of the Kyffhäuser community to form the community "Kyffhäuserland".
