history

Elbingerode before 1900

Elbingerode was probably in 1206 as Alvelingeroth in one of Pope Innocent III. for the Gandersheim Abbey mentioned. In it Innocent III. Confirmation to the monastery that it is wealthy in the place. The monastery lent the bailiwick to Count Palatine Heinrich , who appointed the Count of Blankenburg . In 1247 the place came to Otto I. in exchange with Beulshausen .

The region belonged to the Jagdhof Bodfeld and had changing owners over the centuries. For example, the Duke Erich von belehnte Brunswick-Grubenhagen 1427 Count Botho of Stolberg and Count Heinrich von Schwarzenburg with the castle and the spots Elbingerode plus related huts and forests, fishing and hunting ground . Elbingerode had only been owned by Guelphs since 1422 and previously belonged to the Gandersheim monastery.

In 1438 Count Botho zu Stolberg, who stayed in Thuringia most of the time, used his share in Elbingerode as a pledge. He pledged this to Count Heinrich von Schwarzburg, who was related to his wife, and his son of the same name for 12 years. Even before this pledge was redeemed, the amount of the pledge was changed in 1443 by mutual agreement.

For more than 100 years, the deposit could not be redeemed by the Stolberger. A calculation of the total pawn debts in 1561 led to the result of around 26,000 thalers, which the Counts of Stolberg were unable to raise, although Elbingerode has now become very lucrative for them as well thanks to the income from iron stone mining, the important ironworks on the Bode and the extensive forest areas was. The Brunswick feudal lord became active in 1564. For an advanced capital he took Elbingerode into possession under dubious pretexts and distributed several mortgages to the creditors of the Stolberg counts. The latter were returned, but due to their immense need for money, the Stolberg Elbingerode had to pledge again to Asche von Holle in 1574 and to Statius von Münchhausen for the sum of 91,303 thalers in 1584 . In 1600 and 1604, respectively, by betraying the Counts of Stolberg, the dukes of Braunschweig had given the anus with Elbingerode. The last Brunswick feudal letter for the Counts of Stolberg about the office of Elbingerode , which included the castle destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and the town of the same name, which has since been granted city rights, some dairy farms and several important iron and steel works on the Bode, was from Duke Wolfgang zu Braunschweig- Lüneburg was issued in 1590 for the Stolberg Counts. In 1635, Duke Georg von Braunschweig-Calenberg finally refused to enfeoff the Counts of Stolberg with Elbingerode again.

The Brunswick overlords used the weakness of the Stolberg family to acquire the property themselves. In the course of the Reich Chamber Court proceedings brought about by the Counts of Stolberg in 1642, Duke Christian Ludwig von Braunschweig had the creditors of von Münchhausen assign their rights to him in 1653 against payment of 25,000 thalers. Since then, Elbingerode has been continuously owned by the Kurhaus Braunschweig. It passed to Hanover in 1705 and came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 .

On the night of January 8th to 9th, 1858, a large part of the city and all public buildings burned down.

The district president of the Prussian province of Hanover decreed on May 22, 1928 that the city of Elbingerode would henceforth bear the official name Elbingerode-Harz . Regardless of this, the place name addition (resin) in brackets later prevailed.

At the Elbingerode cemetery there is a war cemetery for numerous German soldiers who died in April 1945.

The Eggeröder Brunnen district was named in 1946 after the Prime Minister of the Free State of Braunschweig, Heinrich Jasper , Jasperode, who was murdered in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp . In 1990 the old name was reintroduced.
