New hut (Königshütte)
The Neue Hütte was an ironworks on the Kalten Bode in what is now the Königshütte district of the town of Oberharz am Brocken in the Harz district in Saxony-Anhalt .
history
The ironworks on the left bank of the Bode above the Lüdershof hut is said to have been built in 1400 by Counts Heinrich and August von Wernigerode . In 1525 Count Botho zu Stolberg enfeoffed Hermann Schnawenberg and his son of the same name with the new hut. In 1556 the hut was already owned by the Querfeldt family, who called themselves Querfurt from the 1880s onwards , which is why the hut was sometimes also called Querfurtshütte . The ironworks was in operation until the second half of the 19th century. The last remains of the building were removed after 1950. There are still some residential buildings, the former chapel (now part of a residential building) and the Hüttengraben coming from the Teichtal, which partially forms the well-known waterfall in Königshütte.
