The desert lies between the places Schachtebich and Freienhagen on the red sandstone plateau of the middle Eichsfeld at an altitude of about 300 m. The headwaters of the Rustebach , a right-hand tributary of the Leine, are in the immediate vicinity .

History of the settlement

In 1545 the von Linsingen family built two houses on Lentershagen. Several historical maps from the end of the 16th century refer to territorial disputes over the place Gänseteich and the associated Lentershagen between the Electorate of Mainz and the Duke of Braunschweig . In 1629 the place was mentioned in writing as Wustung Lentershagen .

In a contract in 1815, the Kingdom of Hanover ceded the places Gänseteich with Lentershagen and Rüdigershagen to Prussia . In 1982 all buildings were demolished because of their proximity to the inner-German border , after which the last residents had died.
