history
Rhumspringe was mentioned for the first time in a deed of donation for the local parish church of St. Sebastian from 1250. In the following years, the place is often mentioned again in documents, which was due, among other things, to the richness of fish in the Rhume and agriculture . In 1263, for these reasons, the Pöhlde monastery bought a farm in Rhumspringe. The pastor Johannes de Rumesspringe, who is mentioned in 1310 and later became vicar of the city of Einbeck , enjoyed a high reputation . Numerous documents report on his presence on site at the time. There is also an account of the noble family of the von Rhumspringe, who had their headquarters in Rhumspringe. A representative of the family is mentioned in 1321 as Johannes de Rumespringe sen. Witness how Johannes and Ehrenfried von Esplingerode sell their farm in Seulingen , including four Hufe Landes, to the Marienstein monastery in Nörten-Hardenberg . Other mentions show him in 1327 as a witness in a transfer of Count Otto von Lutterberg , who donated a mill near Nesselröden to the Teistungenburg monastery . In that same monastery in 1238 a Mechtild von Rhumspringe was recorded as a nun, while in Duderstadt numerous citizens came from the noble family and in 1338 and 1343 provided the mayor of Duderstadt, Hunold von Rhumspringe. In 1496 the town was allowed to import beer from Duderstadt twice , which was allowed to be delivered at Whitsun and the carnival festival .
The water power of the Rhume was already used at an early stage. It is said that the mill of the Elector of Mainz was able to grind grain even when there was a great drought. The plague broke out in Rhumspringe in 1625 , and the local priest was one of the victims. A drawing by Pastor Flucke from Uder shows which buildings existed at that time. The drawing shows a mill, a glassworks, a bridge with a customs house and a church. In 1650 Rhumspringe had 170 inhabitants with 55 stoves. In 1659, after the Thirty Years' War , a community rifle is mentioned. At the latest since the beginning of the 15th century, the place belonged to the Gieboldehausen office . By the middle of the 19th century, the population grew significantly, 736 people were counted, who were spread over 137 houses and the fulling mill belonging to the village. The Schickert plant planned during World War II no longer went into operation.
Old castle
On the outskirts above the Rhumetal a castle complex is suspected on a small mountain spur. There are no written records, only remnants of the terrain in the form of a section wall and a ditch can be seen in the area. An excavation brought only a few finds, so that no reliable information can be given about the origin and settlement. Presumably it is an early medieval refuge. There is probably no direct relationship to the local noble family.

Attractions
Rhume spring
The Rhume spring is located about 1.2 kilometers northeast of the town center and has been eponymous for the place Rhumspringe since the 13th century at the latest. It is considered the third largest spring in Germany and one of the richest karst springs in Central Europe. The bluish spring pot and the alluvial forest in the area are accessible to tourists through laid out paths and a nearby car park. In addition to the hydropower use of the Rhume for industrial purposes, part of the water from the Rhume spring is used as drinking water after treatment .
Catholic parish church of St. Sebastian
The parish church of St. Sebastian was built in 1976-77 and is the successor church to the church of Rhumspringe, which was constructed in 1812/1822 and demolished in 1976 and which was also consecrated to St. Sebastian . The draftsman was the architect Johannes Reuter from Kassel, the inauguration took place on August 20, 1977 by the Hildesheim bishop Heinrich Maria Janssen . It has a central area in polygonal shape, an attached community center and a free-standing bell tower , the interior of which is used as a seven-meter-high chapel for the fallen. With these characteristics, the development of the church shows similarities with other places of worship in the lower area . Emphasizes the unity of the church and the community center through the roof of the church square, the hexagonal interior is spanned by a paneled roof pyramid having a height of 12 m and has exactly over the chancel rises. This is also highlighted again by a step. A noticeable bronze lecture cross in the church , the narrow body of which in its standing shape is based on earlier, Romanesque crucifixes. On the back of the cross there are five malachites that symbolize the five wounds of Christ . A contrast to the surrounding area is the baroque altar from the old church, which was originally a side altar of the Wöltingerode monastery , acquired in 1850 and converted into a high altar with subsequent additions. New side veil boards with acanthus tendrils and a picture of the Annunciation instead of the faded Marian emblem were added to the altar in the following years. Along the sloping gable of the church, in adaptation to the altar, there are window areas with sparse coloring in dark red, dark blue and gray, which are connected by a skylight band. Since November 1, 2014, the Rhumspringe parish has also included the churches in Brochthausen , Fuhrbach , Hilkerode , Langenhagen and Rüdershausen .
Economy and Infrastructure
General
Up until a few years ago, the tax revenues from the paper mill and the Rhume Hotel ensured that the Rhumspringe budget, unlike that of many surrounding communities, did not show a deficit. Among other things, using these tax income from the former was Herzberg am Harz next railway Bleicherode East Herzberg developed into an attractive cycling and hiking trail. This path was later continued in the direction of Hilkerode , so that there are opportunities for extensive bike or hiking tours in the Harz Mountains or to Duderstadt.
Harz paper mill Rhumspringe
As early as 1828, a woolen factory was founded by the Duderstadt manufacturer Ludwig August Hertwig on the site of today's paper factory near the Rhume spring . This factory used the water power of the Rhume for its spinning and fulling mills and produced camelot fabrics and particularly heavy flannels on hand looms.
The wool goods factory existed until 1871. The Duderstädter banker CF Hertwig, as the lender of the wool goods factory, took over the entire property and built a leather paper and leather cardboard factory on the extensive site using the existing buildings.
On August 9, 1872, the company called Rhumspringer paper factory was entered in the commercial register. In addition to the water power of the Rhume, a new steam power plant with 500 hp was built. In 1873 around 400 tons of leather paper and cardboard were produced with forty workers.
In 1928 the paper mill had around 200 employees and a production volume of around 4,500 tons of paper and cardboard. The administration was still in Duderstadt at the time .
Concentration processes in the paper industry and falling prices for paper products led to bankruptcy in 1952 following a settlement petition. One of the main creditors, Walter Gerstenmaier from Stuttgart, took over the work with a trust company. In February 1954 the new Harzer Papierfabrik GmbH was founded, which mainly processed waste paper. In 1955, Carl-Heinrich Sievers from Bremen joined the company as another partner. So-called Schrenz paper was produced in the Harz paper factory ; the number of employees was around 60 people.
In the course of the following years the management changed several times; the last owner of the paper mill was ALBA AG . In mid-2003, due to globalization and ongoing concentration processes, insolvency proceedings were initiated again, as a result of which the Harz paper mill ceased operations. Paper machines and other technical inventory were partially dismantled and sold. Since then, the privately owned industrial and administrative buildings have been vacant, and an investor is being sought to build a new industry on the site of the former paper mill.
Rhume Hotel (now: Festsaal Calabria)
On May 13, 1964, the Rhume Hotel was opened with an opening ceremony. The construction of the hotel cost more than DM 1 million at that time. In the following decades, in addition to the hotel, many church and private celebrations took place in the Rhume Hotel.
Despite some interesting tourist opportunities, the Rhume Hotel has found it difficult to maintain its operations in recent years and ultimately had to be closed by its private owner in 2006 for financial reasons. In 2012 the municipality of Rhumspringe, which had acquired the area with the buildings a few weeks earlier, sold it to a local restaurateur and cook.
