Long (resin)

The Lange is a plateau in the Harz between Warmer Bode and Rappbode .

The Lange was also known as the Langelge in the Middle Ages . It was originally a fiefdom of the Dukes of Braunschweig and was already mentioned in the feudal book of Count Siegfried von Regenstein in 1209. Some wood stains on the Lange came to the Count Heinrich von Blankenburg, who sold them to the Bishop of Halberstadt in 1313 , making this loan recipient of the Duke of Braunschweig. In 1343 the Halberstadt bishop again enfeoffed the Counts of Regenstein with the forest rights on the Lange and in 1355 pledged the hut to the fir in the Bodetal valley. The contract of 1427 confirms that the Lange (with the exception of Königshof Castle) is a Brunswick fiefdom of the Counts of Regenstein.

In 1554 the Counts of Stolberg came into the possession of Lange. They had a stud established here. In 1725, the Duke of Braunschweig built a popular hunting lodge on the Lange, which no longer exists today. The building of the hunting lodge was demolished around 1850 and rebuilt in Halberstadt . The hunting lodge then stood in Halberstadt until 1945 and was destroyed in an air raid.

Today, the name Die Lange bears a mostly straight road that runs between Rübeland and Benneckenstein .
