Liebenrode is a district of Hohenstein (Thuringia) in the northern part of the Nordhausen district on the Harz .
history
Liebenrode has the shape of a clustered village . The place was first mentioned in documents as Lievenroth in 1178. The village developed from four settlement centers. Starting from the settlement around the church, the area around the eastern upper village and the middle village was created, followed by the plan and the angle with the later colony and finally the lower village. Oberdorf and Unterdorf together were surrounded by a protective ditch with a black thorn hedge in front of them in the Middle Ages. The church had the character of a fortified church.
The Steinsee district belongs to Liebenrode, is located about two kilometers south-east and was incorporated on July 1, 1950. In Liebenrode there was a manor owned by the Counts of Klettenberg and later by those of Hohnstein .
During the GDR era, Liebenrode was the location of the NVA's 2nd border company, the corresponding barracks still exist (2013).
The once independent municipality of Liebenrode belonged to the Grenzland administrative community from 1991 to 1996 . With the dissolution of this on October 17, 1996, the member communities were merged to form the community of Hohenstein.

Culture and sights
- Liebenrode is known for its listed Petrikirche from the pre-Reformation period ; the church tower is placed in the middle. The high wall that surrounded the former churchyard and the massive gate construction still remind of the former character of the complex as a fortified church. The organ was created in 1835 by the organ builder Friedrich Knauf .
- Parts of the structures of the former manor still exist.
- Another manor (of the Linsenhoff family) is located in the Steinsee district.
- There are several clubs in Liebenrode, including the “Anglerclub 58 Liebenrode e. V. ", the" TSG Grün-Weiß Liebenrode e. V. ”and the“ Small Animal Breeders Association Liebenrode e. V. "
- The seven linden trees are a natural monument , the oldest is over 300 years old.
- About one kilometer east of the village there is a group of sinkhole lakes : the Röstesee , the Mönchsee , the Opfersee , the Anabaptist Hole and the Grubenloch . All of these standing waters are based on karst phenomena . The Anabaptist Hole got its name from three Anabaptists from Ellrich , who are said to have been drowned here around 1535 (see also Anabaptists in the Harz Mountains ).
