history

In 1776 , after preliminary work by Heinrich Christian Körtje , Benjamin Hase created a plan for the relocation of the village of Lutgenhausen an der Rhume (south of Herzberg) , which was copied by the chief architect Friedrich Wilhelm Böttcher . The background was the proximity of the place to the Rhume and the associated floods; the place, which then consisted of 32 houses, was then completely demolished in 1782 and moved to a higher location. When it was first mentioned is unclear, but there is a document from 1391. In this document, the place is listed under the name Lütgen Rüdershausen and it is stated that Duke Ernst von Braunschweig and his brother Friedrich their shares in the village of Lütgen Rodershusen the prelate of Pöhlde , Hermann of Sulingen. sold. Before the sale, the village was under the sovereignty of the Mainz office of Gieboldehausen . With the establishment of the Kingdom of Westphalia , Lütgenhaus's affiliation was also restructured. From 1807 it became part of the Harz Department , to which the Duderstadt district was subordinate. As a member of the canton of Gieboldehausens, the Lutheran church village of Lütgenhausen had a total of 190 inhabitants, who were spread over 21 houses. After the dissolution of the Kingdom of Westphalia, the place was part of the Herzberg district. The population rose to 232 people around the middle of the 19th century, and the number of houses also increased to 38. As part of the municipal territorial reform in Lower Saxony on January 1, 1973, Lütgenhausen was assigned to the Göttingen district (previously Osterode am Harz ) and to the Rhumspringe municipality incorporated.
