history

Lutter

Lutter was first mentioned in 1201 as Lutera or Luttera . The name probably comes from the Lutter stream of the same name, where the place is located. During the Thirty Years War in 1626, Lutter burned down completely.

The place belonged to Kurmainz until the secularization , from 1802 to 1945 it was part of the Prussian province of Saxony. 1945 to 1949 the place came under the Soviet occupation zone and was part of the GDR from 1949 . From 1961 until the turnaround and reunification in 1989/1990, Lutter was affected by the closure of the nearby inner-German border.

Fürstenhagen

The district of Fürstenhagen was re-established in the 19th century to the west of a settlement called Indago that existed in the 13th century and was abandoned around 1374 .
