history
Rottleberode was founded in the 10th century. Wilhelm , the Archbishop of Mainz owned a farm here, he died in 968 in Rottleberode, which led to the first written mention of the place. Rottleberode already had market, coin and customs rights in 994. Later the place came into the possession of the Counts of Stolberg , who integrated the place into the Stolberg Office of the Stolberg-Stolberg County . Until 1815, Rottleberode was under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Saxony and then came to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony . In 1819 662 people lived in 119 houses in Rottleberode.
During the Second World War , the Rottleberode subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp (which was subordinate to the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp from October 1944 ) was set up from March 1944 , as well as a subordinate subcommand in Stempeda , in which around 1,300 concentration camp prisoners, among other things during the partial assembly for the Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke had to do forced labor . Polish and Ukrainian slave laborers were used to manufacture ammunition at the armaments company Stock & Co. Sabotage was carried out through the solidarity of a resistance group with the participation of the nurse Elsa Neumann and the communist Paul Rößler. After evacuation transports by train and death marches on foot, many prisoners from the two satellite camps in Rottleberode and Stempeda were murdered on April 13, 1945 in the massacre in the Isenschnibber field barn in Gardelegen .
In the British bombing raid on Nordhausen on April 3, 1945, four residents of Rottleberode were also killed.
From 1952 to 1990 Rottleberode belonged to East Germany - Halle Region .
The place and its surroundings were shaped by centuries of mining for iron , non-ferrous metals ( copper slate ), fluorspar and gypsum . Numerous smaller and larger heaps in the vicinity as well as pingen and traditional names such as copper smelter and smelter yard are witnesses of the extraction and smelting of these mineral resources. The "river shaft" near Rottleberode in the Krummschlachttal is worth mentioning. At the beginning of the 20th century the largest fluorspar deposit in Central Europe was exposed here. Production was stopped in 1989 due to exhaustion of stocks.
