The nearby mountains Große Blöse ( 527.8  m ; northeast), Großer Ahrensberg ( 524.9  m ; north) and Moosberg ( 513  m ; south) are the highest mountains in the Solling low mountain range, which is why it is referred to here as Hochsolling.

history

The place Silberborn goes back to the founding of a glassworks in 1742, when the colony "Silberborn" was created in 1765 and expanded in the following years by the settlement of growers. The Markuskirche was consecrated in 1860, the highest church in Solling.

In December 1910, 338 people lived in the place, while about 60 years earlier 361 people were recorded, spread over 51 houses; not among them were nine people in a house located outside the village Am Moosberge and the 123 inhabitants of the Neuhaus stud .

Silberborn belonged to the Uslar district until 1932 . This was incorporated into the Northeim district on October 1, 1932 , so that the village belonged to this district until it was incorporated.

On December 30, 1957, a British Canberra (XJ 249) bomber plane crashed in a forest near the Mecklenbruch. The wreck was recovered on January 2, 1958. The three crew members HWR Clarke, B. Milne and DT McCarthy were killed in the crash. A memorial was dedicated to them on April 26, 1958.

In 1961, the Silberborn youth center was built to enable children and young people from the Northeim district to have a range of leisure activities close to their home. Closure is planned for the end of December 2018.

On January 1, 1973 Silberborn was incorporated into the district town of Holzminden. The youth home remained in the Northeim district.

Silberborn was a state-recognized health resort until the end of 2010 .
