geography

Located north of the Sulberg, the Hahle , a tributary of the Rhume , flows through Mingerode . The field corridor extends in the east from the Hämelei to the Loh in the west and in the south to the northern foot of the Sulberg. In the north, the Betzelföhre brook forms a natural boundary that covers an area of ​​6.83 km².

history

Mingerode was mentioned for the first time in 1184 in a document from the Abbess of St. Servatius-Stift Quedlinburg , Agnes II. This happened in the context of the repurchase of Agnes II. To lost possessions that were, among other things, in Munningeroth. In 1261 the plebanus Bertoldus de Munningerode, who probably came from Mingerode, is mentioned in connection with the settlement of a dispute between Ludwig and Hermann de Rostorf and the Beuren monastery .

Since Hans von Minnigerode sold the village to the city council of Duderstadt in the 15th century, Mingerode became one of eleven council villages in Duderstadt around 1430. In the following years there were often disputes between Mingerode and the city council of Duderstadt. There was a dispute about “appropriate” and “inappropriate” manual and tensioning services , which the then mayor Barckefeldt described in his chronicle of 1683 as the town's treasure, as well as about Duderstadt's hat rights in the Mingerode district . This dispute was even carried out in court. The scandal came in 1730, when the farmers and the people behind the streets demanded that a new “court” be built on the Sulberg. Despite heavy fines and the imprisonment of 41 men, they initially insisted on their opinion. Only after a six-day detention did they give in to the argument and vow to put the gallows back up in the future.

Towards the end of the Thirty Years' War , Mingerode suffered devastating devastation when Duke Christian von Braunschweig carried out military attacks on the place. In 1646 10 of 37 houses were still habitable, large parts of the arable land were covered with bushes and no horse could be found in the village.

In the middle of the 16th century, the parish lost its pastoral position and became a branch of the parish of Obernfeld. This connection lasted until 1923. From January 1, 1924, a parish vicar began his service in Mingerode and since 1966 the place has again been an independent parish .

A series of fires broke out in the town in 1954 and 1955. Five barns, and even the stables on three farms, fell victim to the flames. The suspected arson has not yet been proven, although there were violent riots due to suspicions in the town itself. In 1994 the village renewal program was completed, as part of which the linden alley, the main road and the village square could be redesigned.

In economic terms, Mingerode was dominated by agriculture until the 19th century. It was not until 1851 that the manufacturer Franz Adolf Möller began to produce flannel products with the help of water power. However, his factory burned down completely in 1885. In 1908 the Engelhardt and Biermann company set up a cigarette factory that provided around 60 people from Mingerode and Obernfeld with a modest income until 1958. As the last village mill in the Untereichsfeld , the Wüstefeld mill ceased milling operations in the fall of 1985.

Choir of St. Andrew's Church

The Catholic St. Andrew's Church is a three-aisled basilica in neo-Romanesque style. It was built by the Hildesheim architect Wilhelm Daughtermann in 1872/1873 in place of the dilapidated previous building from 1522. The exterior of the red sandstone church is characterized by a pilaster structure , rectangular hatch-like upper facade windows and a polygonal tower with a pointed dome. Inside the church, the wooden arcades are particularly striking . They consist of slender polygonal pillars and arches with ornamental openwork spandrels . On the side aisle walls there are six baroque figures of saints, which presumably originate from the Duderstadt St. Servatius Church . In addition, the church has a three-part carved winged altar from 1500. Its origin can be found in the Cistercian monastery Teistungen, which was closed in 1809 . The altar sculpture, consisting of eleven figures, suggests a Hildesheim workshop. The figures are preserved in it, Mary with child in a halo, each flanked by two saints. One of them is holding the model of the Teistungenburg church in his hands. The side wings are each decorated with three male saints. Before the figures were placed on the shrine in 1873, they formed the wall decorations of the previous church in individual suspension. The outside of the altar wings are decorated with two panel paintings showing St. Andrew's crowning of thorns . The tabernacle and predella are neo-Gothic , while the cracks and veils represent historical additions to less well-preserved original parts. Since November 1, 2014, the church has belonged to the parish of St. Cyriakus , based in Duderstadt.
