history

Excavated gate of the Pöhlde Wallburg on the Rotenberg

Some excavation finds from Pöhlde date from the 2nd to 4th century. Pöhlde was first mentioned in 927 in a deed of donation from Heinrich the Vogler to his wife Mathilde von Ringelheim . In this document he transferred the royal court "Palithi" to her. The ending "-ithi" indicates belonging to the oldest Germanic place name layer . In the monastery Pöhlde an important manuscript from the Middle Ages, which was Annales Palidenses . Pöhlde is at the junction of two medieval highways. On June 22nd, 1001 and on September 29th, 1028 synods were held in Pöhlde for the Gandersheim dispute .

Pope Damasus II , actually Poppo von Brixen, was born to Emperor Heinrich III at Christmas 1047. in Pöhlde against Benedict IX. destined to be Pope. Poppo was Pope for 24 days before he died, presumably of malaria.

On July 1, 1972, Pöhlde was incorporated into the city of Herzberg am Harz.

In the first half of the 19th century, Johann Friedrich Nolte and his son Ernst August Hermann Wilhelm Nolte served as pastors of the community.

Until 1990, Pöhlde was the location of a permanent deployment of the Air Force's low-level reporting and control service (TMLD) .

Traffic situation

One reason for the early settlement was the good traffic situation on the trade routes at the time . Examples are the Fastweg , which touched the village to the south, and the Hohe Straße , which reached the place in the north on the site of today's riding arenas.

Wallburg Pöhlde

On the nearby Rotenberg is the Wallburg Pöhlde , which was divided into a main castle and an outer castle . According to excavations , their period of use can be dated to the 8th to 12th centuries. It had a stone wall and a rampart with elaborately constructed pincer gates. Since there were hardly any settlement finds inside the complex, it probably served sporadically as a refuge . The rampart is associated with the name "King Heinrichs Vogelherd ", as legend has it that Heinrich der Vogler received the news here in 919 that he was the first Saxon to be elected King of Eastern France .

Palatinate Pöhlde

The buildings of the Palatinate Pöhlde were located near today's church in the area of ​​the rectory and the parish garden. It emerged from an estate belonging to the Liudolfinger family , which Mathilde the Holy had received from her husband Heinrich I in 927 . After his death, she asked her son Otto I to convert the estate into a canons' monastery. King Otto I signed the deed on May 16, 952 and stipulated that the monastery to be built should be built next to the Palatinate as a monk's abbey. It was settled by Benedictines . There was a connecting passage between the Palatinate and the monastery church. The place Pöhlde gained further importance through the Pfalzstift. Today's church was built in 1668 on the foundations of the former monastery church, which was destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525 and then lost its importance.

From 1964 to 1974 excavations were carried out on an area of ​​1700 m² at the church and in the parish garden . The foundations of the palace complex, which consisted of at least twelve buildings, were exposed.
