Geographical location
The Liergau was west of today's city of Braunschweig and belonged to the diocese of Hildesheim . In the east it bordered the course of the Oker on the Derlingau , which already belonged to the Diocese of Halberstadt , in the north on Flutwidde and in the south on Saltgau . The western limit to Astfala was the Fuhse . In parts of the older literature it is often confused with the Lerigau .
history
The Liergau emerged as a Gaugrafschaft or Margraviate from the Saxon Gaugrafschaft Astfala and was thus part of the Saxon province of Ostfalen.
The Liergau is mentioned by name when the diocese of Hildesheim was established and as part of a donation from the Saxon Prince Odiltag and his wife Wifelsvint to the Fulda monastery in 780. There, twenty estates in fourteen places are mentioned.

Further development
In a document issued in Worms by the Roman-German Emperor Heinrich III. (1016-1056) from November 3, 1053 the places Dörnten , Döhren , Weddingen and Wehre were mentioned as belonging. Henry III. donated them to the Hildesheim monastery , as they had fallen to the Holy Roman Empire . The reason for this, in turn, was a judgment against a nephew of Duke of Saxony Bernhard II (after 990-1059).
Furthermore Beuchte , Burgdorf , Gielde , United Mahner , Immenrode , Klein Mahner , Lengde , Lüderode , Schladen and Werla included as well. The seat of the responsible archdiaconate of the Hildesheim diocese was Neuenkirchen . The area was temporarily a fief of Emperor Lothar III. (1075–1137) in the hands of the Counts of Wohldenberg .
The painting site was not far north of the Harliburg , but fell into desolation so that it was relocated to Bocla . Bocla was first mentioned as Goding in 1254. The location was the intersection of the old route between Goslar and Braunschweig with the route from Hildesheim via Hornburg to Halberstadt . The site, located not far from Harliburg and presumed by Duke Heinrich I of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1267–1322), was confiscated by Bishop Siegfried II of Hildesheim (before 1279–1310) as a result of the Herlingsberg War .
The name changed from Bocla to Buchladen and is now a location west of Schladen. The associated forest area is called Heiligengraben and was the location of a Prussian optical telegraph in the 19th century . The name Bocla has been changed slightly in the nature reserve Boklah ( ⊙ ).
