Duderstadt - Excerpt from the Topographia Hassiae by Matthäus Merian 1655
Duderstadt - town center

Duderstadt is a town and independent municipality in the district of Göttingen in south-eastern Lower Saxony .

The medieval townscape is characterized by around 600 town houses of different style epochs - mostly half-timbered houses  - the two large town churches St. Cyriakus and St. Servatius with their mighty towers, the West Tower with its concise turned tip, the restored city wall and the town hall , one of the oldest in Germany .

geography

location

Duderstadt is located in the lower area in the southern Harz foreland near the border with the Free State of Thuringia . Because of its fertile soil, the surrounding area has been known as the Golden Mark since the Middle Ages . About ten kilometers southeast of the city is the Thuringian Ohm Mountains , about 20 kilometers northeast of the Harz . The rivers Hahle and Brehme flow through the city .

City structure

The medium- sized town Duderstadt comprises the core town and 14 districts that were incorporated in the early 1970s (see incorporations). Of the around 21,500 inhabitants, a good 9,000 live in the city center and over 12,000 in the districts.

history

middle Ages

Most of the authors and also for the setting of anniversary celebrations accept a document from King Heinrich des Vogler dated September 16, 929 as the first documentary mention of Duderstadt , in which he gave his wife Mathilde the places Quedlinburg , Pöhlde , Nordhausen , Grone and Duderstadt as Wittum bequeathed. The certificate was issued in Quedlinburg and mentions Duderstadt with the spelling Tutersteti . A similar document from Heinrich, in which Duderstadt is mentioned as Dudersteti and instead of Grone tithe rights in Wolfsleben and Gudersleben, was issued on May 13, 927. However, this document is only known from a copy that has now also been lost. In 974 the place came to the Quedlinburg Abbey , which administered it for 262 years. In 1237 Duderstadt was given as a fiefdom to the Landgrave Heinrich Raspe of Thuringia, only 10 years later it came as a fiefdom to Otto the child , a grandson of Henry the Lion . Duderstadt remained under Guelph rule for about a century . At the beginning of this period, around 1250, it became a city. Supported by the dukes of Brunswick, it experienced a sustained upswing.

This is how the young city became an important, prosperous place in the late Middle Ages . This is not least due to its location at the intersection of two important trade routes: a north-south route, the “Nürnberger Straße”, from Italy to the Hanseatic cities in Northern Europe and a west-east connection from the Belgian region via Cologne and Leipzig Eastern Europe. The Duderstadt merchants conducted extensive trade; trips to Novgorod are proven .

In the years 1334 to 1366, the Guelph dukes of the Grubenhagen Duderstadt line gradually ceded to the archbishops of Mainz due to a notorious lack of money . This marked the beginning of a period of around 450 years of rule in Mainz. The rise of the city continued under the new rulers. It grew beyond the ring of fortifications, its economic and political weight increased. In the decades around 1400 Duderstadt was able to acquire a considerable territory (approx. 115 km²) with 16 villages. With around 4,000 inhabitants, Duderstadt was almost as big as Hamburg at the time . At the same time, at the beginning of the 15th century, the city had ramparts and curbs built around its fields and on the borders of the Mainz area . Trenches on both sides, the passages of which were provided with barriers and guard towers, were supposed to protect the city against enemy incursions, especially those of Uslar on the Gleichenburg and those of Minnigerode , which sat in the east on the Allerburg . This was preceded by the murder of Duke Friedrich I of Braunschweig-Lüneburg by Mainz feudal people. This then led to a war between the Brunswick dukes, the landgrave of Hesse and numerous other counts and dukes against Archbishop Johann von Mainz , which was settled in the Peace of Friedberg in 1405.

The relocation of trade routes and the decline of the Hanseatic League in the 15th century led to stagnation and finally an economic downturn. Since 1450 the number of inhabitants decreased noticeably, the financial situation became more difficult. Despite this crisis, the city was still capable of respectable achievements: a new fortification ring was built, the churches were completed. Today's townscape almost entirely belongs to the period that was characterized by economic decline. It was positive that Duderstadt was able to preserve a predominantly medieval townscape with half-timbered houses that is rarely found in this unity. Duderstadt has also been a frequent victim of fire disasters since the Middle Ages. Probably the largest fire in the city's history occurred in 1424 and laid almost the entire northern part of the city between Obertor and Westertor in rubble and ashes. Next to the Westertor 340 houses had to be rebuilt, an inscription on the gate tells of this catastrophe.

Modern times

In the course of the Peasants' War , Duderstadt was occupied by Duke Heinrich the Younger in 1525. He handed the city over to Archbishop Albrecht of Mainz and Magdeburg , which lost its autonomy rights through the Albertine order of 1526. The archbishop appointed a city ​​school leader as permanent representative . The extension of the town hall from 1536 and the rapid adoption of the Lutheran denomination can be seen as a sign of the citizens' increased self-confidence.

Up until the Thirty Years War the situation was not generally unfavorable. The consequences of the war, in particular the Thirty Years 'War 1618–1648 and the Seven Years' War (1756–1763), epidemics and the increasing demarcation of the surrounding states prevented a continuous upward trend. Other reasons for the economic and demographic depression in Duderstadt were the decline of the Hanseatic League and the relocation of freight routes to the Leine valley. From 1660, tobacco growing ended the city's economic downturn. The Counter-Reformation turned out to be successful, especially promoted by the Duderstadt pastor Herwig Böning, who faced a Protestant minority of 25 percent, but which developed better in the city than in the rest of Eichsfeld. Numerous representatives of the Protestant minority found themselves in the urban patriciate. Due to the provisions of the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, noble courts had a special denominational position.

After the Treaty of Lunéville , Prussia received the Mainz Eichsfeld in 1802 as compensation for the loss of its areas on the left bank of the Rhine; the territorial state of the archbishopric was thus dissolved. The Prussians had already occupied the city before the transfer. Napoleon's reorganization also affected Duderstadt, which became part of the Harz Department for six years from 1807 . Duderstadt was the administrative center and thus one of the four main places in the district; it was under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Westphalia . The district consisted of eight cantons: Beuren , City of Duderstadt, Gieboldehausen , Niederorschel , Seulingen , Teistungen , Weißenborn and Worbis . The canton was administered by Kanton-Maires, to which the mayors of the individual places were subordinate. French model was separated Administration and Justice, each canton was a justice of the peace and district a civil tribunal. Maire Hofmann acted as mayor in the Duderstadt district; he had already been appointed mayor during the time of Mainz and kept this office for all years and changes of government from 1792 to 1828.

In the 19th century, Duderstadt finally found itself in a peripheral location. From 1816 to 1866 the city was on the new border between Hanover and Prussia , which ran through the middle of the Eichsfeld. With the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia, at the latest after the amalgamation of the German states to form the German Empire in 1871 , an economic boom began for Duderstadt as a late consequence of the industrial revolution with the removal of customs and trade barriers . When new transport lines emerged with the construction of the railways, the city stayed off the main lines. Only decades later, in the years 1887/89, did Duderstadt receive a connection to the main railways Südharzlinie and Halle-Kasseler Eisenbahn via the Wulften – Leinefelde railway . From 1907 to 1931, Duderstadt also had a connection to the narrow-gauge Gartetalbahn to Göttingen, which was operated from Göttingen to Rittmarshausen until the end of the 1950s.

Major fires broke out again in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1852, fires in the northeast of the city between Jüdenstrasse and Obertor destroyed 108 houses and 162 barns. The church of St. Cyriakus was also damaged on the roof and on the towers. When it was rebuilt, it was given its current appearance with the two towers of the same height. Almost 60 years later, fires ravaged the area around Sackstrasse / Spiegelbrücke in the west of the city and destroyed 44 houses; in the same year, 1911, fires raged in Obertorstrasse and damaged 13 houses there. Because of these two major fires within a year, the city administration acquired a powerful steam engine . The last big fire in 1915 destroyed 39 houses and 68 outbuildings as well as the St. Servatius Church, which burned out completely and was only rebuilt two years later.

With the final loss of the originally favorable traffic situation, the site conditions for the industry were extremely unfavorable. There were few new jobs, and only a few companies were able to survive. Migrant trades, seasonal work in other cities and high emigration were the result.

From 1885, the city and the villages of the Untereichsfeld belonging to the Prussian province of Hanover formed the district of Duderstadt .

At the time of the Hitler dictatorship , Eichsfeld was never a stronghold of National Socialism . In the Reichstag election in March 1933 , the NSDAP received only 26% of the votes in the Duderstadt district, and 33.9% in the city of Duderstadt itself (for comparison: Göttingen 51%, Reich average 44%). Nevertheless, the Duderstädter did not refuse National Socialism as a result. So came z. B. the historian Dieter Wagner in the Eichsfeld yearbook 2000 to the result: “Serious differences in the attitude of the population towards National Socialism were no longer to be determined between the Unterereichsfeld and the Reich in the peace years of the National Socialist rule. People settled down and almost everyone took part! ”Opponents of the regime were also persecuted in Duderstadt, and deported foreigners and prisoners from concentration camps had to do forced labor. From November 1944 to April 1945 the Buchenwald concentration camp in Duderstadt maintained a field detachment with 755 Jewish Hungarians. The small Jewish community did not survive. During the so-called Reichspogromnacht from November 9th to 10th, 1938, the synagogue on Christian-Blank-Straße was destroyed. A memorial stone on the city wall commemorates this event.

After the war, Duderstadt finally moved to an extreme peripheral location due to the closure of the border between the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR . The railway line to Leinefelde was shut down in the course of the demarcation, the section to Wulften followed on July 26, 1974. Nevertheless, important industrial companies were able to settle in Duderstadt. The integration of thousands of displaced persons and refugees has also been successful.

In 1973 Duderstadt was integrated into the newly formed district of Göttingen with almost all other municipalities in the Duderstadt district.

On November 10, 1989 at 12:35 a.m., the barrier at the Duderstadt / Worbis border crossing to the west was opened. By the afternoon, more than 6,000 GDR citizens came to Duderstadt in over 1,500 vehicles, and by the end of the year there were 700,000 people.

Incorporations

On February 1, 1971, the community of Westerode was incorporated. On January 1, 1973, Breitenberg, Brochthausen, Desingerode, Esplingerode, Fuhrbach, Gerblingerode, Hilkerode, Immingerode, Langenhagen, Mingerode, Nesselröden, Tiftlingerode and Werxhausen were added.

etymology

Duderstadt is referred to in the earliest written sources as Dudersteti , later as Duderstat or Duderstad . The name forms also occur with a tightening of the plosive sound as Tutersteti , Dutherstade or Tuderstad . Contrary to the most common place-name formation in the region with a personal name as a defining word, in the case of Duderstadt the name of a flowing water or a section of a water is to be assumed that is to be classified as Duder and based on the reconstructed forms of the Germanic * Dudra- and Indo-European * dhudhrā- "Impetuous, raging" is returned. The basic word -stadt was then added to this part of the name.

The legend of the naming

Contrary to the etymological origin of the name, a legend in particular has asserted itself as a slightly humorous explanation of the origin of the name: Two brothers built Duderstadt and when they were finished they wanted to give the city a name. But they did not agree on who should do it, and so the first said to the second: " You give the city the name", and the latter in turn said to the first: " You give the city the name", and he asked the same words the third, he gave it back to him with the same words. Then they spontaneously named the city Duderstadt .

traffic

Duderstadt is located on federal highway 247 and is the starting point for federal highway 446 . The A 38 (Göttingen-Halle-Leipzig) runs around 15 km south of Duderstadt, and the A 7 around 30 km west .

Passenger traffic on the Lower Saxony section of the Untereichsfeldbahn was stopped on July 26, 1974.

Culture and sights

Buildings

There are around 500 half-timbered houses in the old town . On the occasion of the Lower Saxony state exhibition Nature in Urban Development in 1994, large parts of the old town were renovated. Particularly noteworthy are the historic Duderstadt town hall (one of the oldest in Germany), the two large churches ( St. Cyriakus and St. Servatius ), the approx. 3.5 km long ring wall and the Westerturm , known for its twisted tip.

The Sulbergwarte on, situated northwest of Duderstadt Sulberg is erected in the 14th century former watchtower . Along with the Wehnder Warte, it was one of a total of 16 waiting towers around Duderstadt. In 1998, the observation tower , which is now used as a lookout tower , was renovated and again given a pointed roof, with which it reached a height of around 14.5 m.

Duderstadt - Town Hall

Church of Our Lady

Church of Our Lady

In addition to the two large churches of St. Cyriakus and St. Servatius, there is the Church of Our Lady as the church of the Ursuline monastery that has existed in Duderstadt since 1700 . Its predecessor was the Ad Beatam Mariam Virginem chapel , which was built in 1424 and expanded into a larger church in 1700. After its demolition, the construction of the neo-Romanesque Church of Our Lady was forced under the Duderstadt Cardinal Georg Kopp and the foundation stone was laid in 1889, followed by its consecration in 1890 . The plans came from the Hildesheim diocesan master builder Richard Herzig . The two-aisled basilica red sandstone building has round arch friezes and a pilaster structure , round windows in the upper storeys and a roof turret in the west. The apse , which is almost the same height as the church, while the rest of the height of the lightly plastered interior is 13.5 meters, is flanked by two slender towers with pointed helmets that face east. A two-story aisle joins the main nave in the northern part of the church , which is 27 meters long and 9.5 meters wide. The organ gallery is located on the upper, flat-roofed floor. It opens to the main nave through coupled round arches. Slender columns with bud capitals are used as the central post . A belted, eight-bay groined vault extends over the entire nave to the nuns' choir in the west of the church . Half-columns with bud and cube capitals were used as pillars. The interior of the church is relatively sparse with two works from the late Gothic period . In the apse there is a life-size, three-figure crucifixion group , in a side altar in the aisle there is a crescent Madonna with child. The Liebfrauenkirche was extensively renovated in 2007, and the slightly different Liebfrauenkirche was built in Duderstadt. The new altar was consecrated on May 8, 2007 by Bishop Norbert Trelle .

Chapel of St. Martin

St. Martin

The chapel dates back to 1443 and was then connected to the St. Martin Hospital , which was built in front of the city's western gate . Today the small church is closely related to the hospital complex. The chapel is a sandstone building , the end of which no longer exists. The nave is thereby shortened, while the choir is elongated. He is drawn in, closed on three sides and carries a slate-covered rider with a Welscher hood . Inside, the barrel-vaulted nave presents itself in a simple style and thus stands in contrast to the choir, which spans two yokes and is cross-vaulted with a polychrome frame. The repainting in 1995, which goes back to the original condition from 1867, provided the ceiling of the chapel with floral tendrils and gold-colored accents. The chapel was used as a cattle shed and in 1830 as a tobacco store, so that it suffered severe damage. In 1853 the late Gothic Trinity altar was brought to the Cyriakus Church and some damage to the chapel was repaired. A new altar made of dark oak by Duderstädter Anton Riepenhausen was made in 1865 and, after 40 years of storage in the cellar, was not put back in the chapel until 1995.

Local museum

The Duderstädter Heimatmuseum is a regional history museum with a comprehensive collection on the subjects of archeology, craft and economic history, as well as rural and urban life in the 19th century. The foundation of the Heimatmuseum goes back to efforts in 1929, when Duderstadt celebrated its 1000th anniversary. In 1931 two rooms were set up in the town's boys' school, which contained an exhibition of folklore objects. In the mid-30s, the local Hitler Youth used the rooms as a meeting place, refugee billeting as a result of the Second World War meant that the museum had to be completely cleared. It was not reopened to a limited extent until 1959, and in the following year the city and the district council took over the sponsorship. In 1969 all floors were available for the first time. At the beginning of the 1980s, the baroque half-timbered house was extensively renovated, the collection was scientifically processed and the museum was completely taken over by the city. The grand opening took place in 1986. Since then, the range of topics has been continuously updated and expanded, and in 1990 a museum teaching garden was added with useful and ornamental plants from the region that are important for economic history.
