history

In October 1731, the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg decided to expel the Protestant residents of his country. The Protestant states took in the refugees. The Electorate of Hanover initially waited, but in 1732 also agreed to not only support exiles in transit, but also to allow them to settle in the country. Among other things, a small settlement was created in Glashüttengrund on the west side of the Osterwald in what was then the Lauenau district , which was named Salzburg . This is where emigrants from the Berchtesgaden area settled.

Each of the six families received around 1.4 hectares of arable land, plus house land and a garden. Although there was evidence of a glassworks at the settlement site before 1700, according to tradition, the settlers were only active in agriculture and forestry. A part of the arable land available to them was not used as such and from the middle of the 19th century it was reforested with beeches as planned.

There was a restaurant in Salzburg that was closed in 2016.
