The Lindenberg is about 122 m above sea level. NHN high elevation of the east Brunswick hill country . It is located near Thiede in Lower Saxony in the area of the independent city of Salzgitter and is commonly called Thieder Lindenberg to differentiate it from other regional surveys of the same name .
geography
location
The Lindenberg is located 850 m northeast of the Thiede district (82 to 105 m altitude), which belongs to Salzgitter, and 1.7 km south-southwest of the Braunschweig district of Leiferde ( 71 m altitude), with the border between the two independent cities running over the north and east slopes. The forest and the highest elevation are in the Thiede district. To the east the landscape slopes down to the Oker and to the west to its tributary Thiedebach .
Natural allocation
The Lindenberg belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Northern Harz foreland (no. 51), in the main unit East Brunswick hill country (512) and in the sub-unit Okerrandhöhen (512.0) to the natural area Thieder Loesshügelland (512.02).
The natural area extends north-south between Broitzem and the Oderwald as a narrow, four-kilometer-wide band along the western bank of the Oker. In the north it includes the chalk formations of the Geitelder Berg and the Steinberg, which also form the northern end of the natural subunit Okerrandhöhen. In the south, the forest near Adersheim marks the beginning of the Oderwald natural area (512.01).
Landscape protection areas
On the Lindeberg is located in the area of Salzgitter, the conservation area (LSG) Thieder Lindenberg ( CDDA -No 325156;. Reported in 1969, 39 ha in size), which is followed directly north and east in that of Brunswick, the LSG Thieder Lindenberg (CDDA no. 325157; 1969; 18 ha) follows.
Geology and prehistoric finds
Geologically, the Lindenberg is part of a red sandstone floe that has been pushed up above the Thiede salt dome - with the dwarf cave (see below ). The red sandstone has been mined by the city of Braunschweig since 1404. At the edge of the Lindenberg there is a gypsum quarry that has been exploited since the 17th century. Famous finds of prehistoric mammoth bones date from June 1692 on the Lindenberg. When it was uncovered, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz used a tooth to prove that no remains of a “giant” had been found, but the skeleton of a mammoth. In 1816 the slopes of the gypsum quarry broke as a result of a downpour. During the clean-up work, the prehistoric bones of over 67 animal species were found, as well as flint knives, evidence of earlier human settlement.
history
In 1381 the battle of the Lindenberg broke out when the Göttingen Duke Otto der Quade , who was seated at Wolfenbüttel Castle, settled in the Braunschweig region after the death of Duke Magnus II . In the battle between the duke's troops united with the Hildesheim land nobility against the independent city of Braunschweig, the Braunschweiger were defeated. Around a dozen villages went up in flames during the clashes on September 3 and 4, 1381 in the area around Braunschweig.
In the Thirty Years War in 1641 the battle for the Wolfenbüttel Fortress was fought near Thiede. The dukes of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and the French, Hesse and Sweden took the rebellion, but the fight against the Bavarian imperial troops ended in a draw.
There used to be a restaurant on the elevation. A tower-like elevated tank (with ancillary buildings) for the Harz waterworks has been located there since 1943 .
The linden leaf of the coat of arms of Thiede refers, among other things, to the Lindenberg.
Myths and legends
The former Braunschweiger Stadtheimatpfleger Wilhelm Bornstedt describes the legend of the Thieder dwarfs in his Stöckheimer Chronik. Accordingly, they lived in the interior of the Lindenberg and were very popular with the people, similar to the brownies : They often brought the poor food and drink, especially on the occasion of wedding celebrations and christenings. However, they always asked for their dishes back cleaned, otherwise they refused to provide future assistance. Bornstedt reports that such legends were also widespread in Leiferde. The naming of the dwarf cave can be traced back to these legends. The access road of a young building area on the southwest slope of the mountain owes its name to this cave, An der Zwergenkuhle .
traffic
A little northwest of the Lindenberg runs the federal highway 39 with the nearby junction Salzgitter-Thiede and a little east the federal highway 36 with the nearby junction Wolfenbüttel -Nordwest . Both motorways are connected to each other via the state road 615 which runs through Thiede . In the village, this crosses the federal road 248 (Thiede– Rüningen ), which passes west of the Lindenberg and from which a road branches off slightly north of Thiede .
