history

The settlement of Lindenberg began in the late 1650s. At that time, Straßberg, just a little further south on the right side of the Selke, had existed for several hundred years. And there were also farmers from Strasbourg who cultivated land on the left of the Selke on the Lindenberg and on the Heidelberg, as it is called in the Harzgeröder Salbuch of 1608. At that time, five people from Strasbourg paid almost five thalers in taxes to the Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg. After the Thirty Years' War, the first of them built his homestead here with princely permission. The Selke was the state border between the county of Stolberg , to which Straßberg belonged, and the Principality of Anhalt-Harzgerode , to which Lindenberg belonged. Initially the name Keipenburg , Kneipenburg or Kniepenburg was common for the place .

Around 1800 58 people lived in 14 houses in Lindenberg. Lindenberg belonged to the Harzgerode office of the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg . Ecclesiastically, the place belonged to the St. Paulus Church in Siptenfelde . At times a marble quarry was operated nearby .

In 1890 Lindenberg was connected to the Selketalbahn and the Lindenberg station was built. Plans by the Gernrode-Harzgeroder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft to build a railway line from Lindenberg to Rottleberode were not implemented. In 1900 Lindenberg had 119 inhabitants, the much larger Straßberg had around 900 inhabitants. In 1933 there were 112 inhabitants, in 1939 106 inhabitants. Lindenberg belonged to the Ballenstedt district of the state of Anhalt . The neighboring Straßberg was now Prussian . On July 1, 1950, Lindenberg was incorporated into Straßberg; after the reorganization of the federal states, both places belonged to the province of Saxony-Anhalt . The renaming of the station in Straßberg (Harz) took place in 1952. Together with Straßberg Lindenberg became part of Harzgerode in 2009.
