history

The first settlement of the area can be seen in the Linsburg large stone grave located about 3.5 kilometers southeast of Linsburg in the Grinderwald , which was built about 4500 years ago. In a document from 1263 reference is made to a noble family "de Linesburg". A ducal hunting camp that probably already existed in the 16th century, which was expanded over time into a hunting lodge with 10 buildings, was expanded by the dukes of Calenberg to the representative Linsburg hunting lodge at the end of the 17th century . From 1770 the castle was demolished because it had been largely unused since the elector's departure to Great Britain in 1714.

In 2003 Linsburg celebrated its 800th anniversary, which goes back to a document from 1203 with the first mention of the place Linsburg.

A self-contained settlement was built at the station in the 1950s.
