geography

The district of Salza is located on the northwestern edge of the core town of Nordhausen. The place extends along the Südharzbahn Nordhausen - Northeim and divides into the old village west of the station and a newer part east of it. The Salza flows through Salza . It rises not far from the district in the largest karst spring in Thuringia, the Salzaspring . To the east of the district, Bundesstraße 4 runs to Ilfeld and further. To the south-west is the federal highway 243 and the federal highway 38 with a connection at Werther . In the north is the Obersalza settlement , in the south Niedersalza .

history

Salza was first mentioned in a document on September 15, 802.

On the mountain spur "Birkenkopf" from the foothills of the Kohnstein massif there are walls lying one behind the other. All three walls probably protected a hill fort from the late Bronze Age and Iron Age.

Around 780 a Frankish settlement was established on the eastern bank of the Salza . At that time there was probably already an older Thuringian settlement on the western bank.

The first school in Salza was built in 1822 in Kirchstrasse 10, and a second in 1864 in Teichstrasse. In 1904 the community received a train station.

The estate, which was managed as a domain, had a usable area of ​​158 hectares in 1923, after 1945 the operation was transferred to a state-owned estate .

Salza has belonged to the area of ​​the city of Nordhausen since July 1, 1950 and therefore has no local council or district mayor.

Sports

The soccer section of the company sports association BSG Motor Süd Nordhausen played in the regional soccer class of Thuringia from 1948 to 1952 .
