history
The first documented mention of 1257 is already identical to the current spelling. As a compound of the old Saxon ostar- and -hagen , the name means enclosed piece of land in the east . The first settlers are likely to come from the much older Bartolfelde , which is west of the village.
On July 5, 1944, a subcamp of the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp for around 300 prisoners was built in a former brickworks near Osterhagen , with the goal of completing the Helmetalbahn route between Osterhagen and Nordhausen , which was not achieved . After several death marches on foot and an evacuation transport by train, most of the prisoners were murdered in the massacre in the Isenschnibbe barn on April 13, 1945 in Gardelegen . Today there is a memorial stone and an information board on the edge of the former camp site. Six unknown concentration camp prisoners are buried in the local cemetery.
On July 1, 1972, Osterhagen was incorporated into the city of Bad Lauterberg through the regional reform in Lower Saxony .
