history

Sohlingen was first mentioned as a soloist in a document dated July 20, 963 , when Emperor Otto II granted the Hilwartshausen nunnery the right to vote. Since, according to the documents, the emperor stayed in Sohlingen in later years, it is assumed that there was also a royal court here, of which no archaeological remains have been found. In September 994 a Reichstag took place in Sohlingen , on which the later Emperor Otto III. allegedly the full ability to govern was given in the form of a sword line .

In 1829 a model workshop for bleaching was set up in Sohlingen , as the surrounding meadows and the water of the awl were ideal for this. In 1910, the then bleaching master Alwin Schreckenbach was awarded the contract to purchase the bleaching company for the Sohlingen sample bleach. In September 1936, the entry of the Schreckenbach brothers in the commercial register was deleted and the Hermann Windel company in Windelsbleiche near Bielefeld was appointed liquidator. A flax roasting facility was set up on the site of the former Musterbleiche, which existed until 1953. The Norbert Kordes company acquired the site in 1955 and produces electrical cables. Kordes-Kabel is one of the largest cable manufacturers in Germany.

At the end of the Second World War, Sohlingen station was attacked by Allied fighter planes, with three bombs dropped causing no significant damage. During the advance of the Allied troops, armored spearheads shot at the Sollingturm and damaged it.

Since March 1st, 1974, the formerly independent municipality has belonged to the city of Uslar after a regional reform .

The small, high half-timbered building has a half- hipped roof with a central hexagonal roof turret with a bell roof. Due to the segmental arches of the high windows and the shape of the roof turret, the style of the building can still be assigned to the late Baroque forms of the late 18th century.
