About this picture

Staufenberg is a municipality in the district of Göttingen . It is the southernmost municipality in Lower Saxony .

geography

The Staufenberg border stretches just outside Kassel on the Hessian border, northwest of Speele, upwards in the Fulda valley to just before Niestetal / Sandershausen and then turns south. The course continues at the Hessian border, crosses the old smugglers ' path , goes over the ski jump down to the Niestetal. From there it continues upwards in an easterly direction. This border, crossed by the Sandershausen – Landwehrhagen road (old Reichsstraße), is still marked by the old boundary stones of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Electorate of Hesse. Above the village of Nieste , the border goes over the heights of the Kaufunger Forest, Umschwang, to the Hessian community of Kleinalmerode . There it swings northwest, at the forester's house Nonnenholz, belonging to the Escherode teaching forestry office, through the Kaufunger Wald over to the cow pasture at the Naturfreundehaus Steinberg and past the old coal mine and brickworks Steinberg. Then it runs west, behind the Great Staufenberg over the Lutterberger Höhe down into the Fulda valley.

Staufenberg is mostly located in the southern part of the Münden Nature Park .

Community structure

history

On the occasion of the Lower Saxony regional reform, the municipalities of Benterode, Landwehrhagen, Lutterberg, Nienhagen, Sichelnstein, Speele, Spiekershausen and Uschlag were merged into one large municipality on January 1, 1973. The name was given after the two mountain peaks Kleiner Staufenberg and Großer Staufenberg near Lutterberg. As early as the 6th century, the Große Staufenberg supplied its basalt for the construction of the nearby Sichelnstein Castle , the seat of the former Sichelnstein office in the Münden Higher Court. The proximity to Hesse has also been an essential feature of the community since then. Diverse connections, sometimes also in terms of language, indicate this. With the exception of Lutterberg, the former upper court was already part of the Hessian-speaking area. As the regional reform approached later, at the end of the 1960s, the idea of ​​joining Hesse met with a great response from the population.

As the ending "-rode" implies, multiple districts back to original forest clearing, at the time of of the Great Karl in the former Saxon Hessengau and in Kaufunger forest counts used Hiddi were conducted. The name of Hiddi's son Asig (Esiko) can still be found today in that of the district of Escherode.

coat of arms

The description of the coat of arms reads: “In red on a silver mountain, a gold-crowned silver column, each accompanied by a facing, jagged silver sickle with a gold handle; A ten-stone red battlement wall 3: 4: 3 “was placed on top of the mountain. Sickles and columns come from the modified helmet decoration of the Dukes of Braunschweig / Lüneburg, which was adopted in the old official seal of the Sichelnstein office or the Münden Higher Court. The bulge in the lower part symbolizes the Great Staufenberg and the ten stones placed on it represent the formerly independent places of today's municipality.

Town twinning

In 2000, a partnership agreement was signed between Staufenberg and the Hungarian city of Pusztaszabolcs .

Attractions

  • Sichelnstein Castle ruins, Sichelnstein Castle can look back on over a thousand years of history. To date, the time of the exact foundation cannot be proven. However, the beginning is traced back to the time of Charlemagne. The descendants of the Saxon Amelung, who was enfeoffed by him, are said to have built the bulwark in the 9th century. It was renewed and fortified - and since then people have also spoken of Sichelnstein Castle - by Otto the Quaden in 1372.
  • Johanniskirche (Uschlag)
  • Churches in Nienhagen and Spiekershausen with crucifixes, created by Gustav Heinrich Eberlein
  • St. Petrus Church in Landwehrhagen with a Gothic defense tower, renovated in 1801. The exterior structure from 1822 is classicist. The interior is in the Empire style of the post-Napoleonic period. The wallpaper linings in the altar area, on the pulpit and gallery are probably unique. Very brave, open-minded to the new, the decision was made in favor of a downright fashionable design with the still new medium of the extremely high-quality, hand-printed paper wallpaper.
  • Hühnerfeld , southernmost high moor in Lower Saxony
  • Gollong-Haus , Heimatmuseum (local history museum) emerged from the foundation of the artist couple Christian and Erika Gollong
  • Kaufmannsche Mühle , watermill with overshot water wheel
  • Steinroda , a recreated medieval village near the Steinberg youth forest home as a project by Libulella
  • Arboretum Habichtsborn , collection of domestic and foreign tree species, since the middle of the 19th century, laid out by the former teaching forest office Escherode, since 2009 looked after and maintained by a local support association
  • Barefoot Path Nienhagen (2.5 km)
