Suterode is a district of the municipality Katlenburg-Lindau in the district of Northeim in Lower Saxony .

history

Suterode was first mentioned in documents in 1208, when a knight of Susa from the noble family resident here at that time was listed as a witness. The village was the seat of a castle, which was mentioned in 1522 when the village came into the possession of the Katlenburg monastery. The village was away from traffic and therefore grew slowly. The sale of Suterode was made on September 8, 1522 by Dietrich the Elder and his sons Dietrich the Younger and Johann von Plesse, who, according to the document, belonged to the Katlenburg Wall monastery, castle site and village of Suterode with all accessories and justice, spiritual and secular fiefs , Left neck court , court and Vogei with all authority. The Lords of Plesse had previously received a deposit of 800 guilders for the village, and with the sale, 200 guilders were added. However, since Suterode also represented the Paderborn fiefdom, the sale could only be fully carried out by Bishop Erich von Paderborn on September 6, 1527. This ended the dispute over the Suterode litigation, which had lasted for more than 60 years, as the village came to the Katlenburg monastery as pledge in 1453 through the brothers Hans and Heinrich Recken and was confirmed in 1466 by Bishop Simon von Paderborn . However, the brothers Gottschalk, Dietrich and Moritz von Plesse then also raised claims on Suterode and received a loan from Paderborn Bishop Simon. The disputes then culminated in a feud between the Lords of Plesse and Duke Albrecht II , which ended in 1477 with the fact that Suterode should remain with the Katlenburg monastery if the Plessians were unable to reimburse the monastery for the purchase price. However, this did not happen, an agreement was made that on June 28, 1483 the brothers Gottschalk, Dietrich and Moritz von Plesse sold the Wall and village of Suterode monastery, including all accessories, for 640 Rhenish guilders for nine years. Since the Lords of Plesse could not raise this amount to buy back either, Suterode remained in the possession of the monastery until it was finally sold in 1522 and 1527. It was looked after by Katlenburg in the chapel renovated in 1649. Economically, the surrounding forest was of particular importance for the residents, as a large proportion of the men found employment as forest workers in winter and the farmers hired out their horses for the back of wood .

To the north of Suterode was the medieval village of Husen , from which the forest ranger's office and the Husum Valley nature reserve take their name.

Place name

The name of the village is made up of the basic word -rode and the epithet sut-. together. Rode means "clearing", "Rodeland", " Neubruch " in Old Saxon and is represented several times in the Northeim district (Oldenrode, Düderode, Ellierode). The places with -rode are assumed to be relatively young settlements that made forests or forest edges usable in the course of internal expansion. Local researcher Adolf Hueg named the years 1000 to 1200 as the most likely time of origin. The epithet sut- contains the Old Saxon suth "south", which is also found in Sudheim (Northeim is considered to be the northern counterpoint).

For Suterode, however, there is no northern equivalent. In place name research, however, it is assumed that Hammenstedt was the northern reference point.

In the same place since 1525

The inventory book of the Katlenburg monastery from 1525, mainly in Middle Low German , suggests that the location of the Suteroder Höfe is still the same today as it was almost 500 years ago. Although it is only a hypothesis, the editors of the chronicle Evelin Martynkewicz and Wilhelm Koch deduce from terms such as "from above down" on a list from the west side, "across the brook" on the left side of the viewed from Katlenburg today's Unteren Strasse. In addition, the chapel between the 18th courtyard (today Dieter Spilker, No. 11) and the 19th courtyard (today Rüdiger Cornehl, No. 19) is given as a fixed point. Further indications speak for the correspondence with today's Altdorf. The town center is almost 500 years old.

Farms with tradition

The history of the farms in Suterode goes back over 350 years. For some, it could be an even longer series of ownership: the continuous bloodline does not always match the identity of the name. The inheritance law applicable to Kötner, for example, always gave the youngest child in a family the inheritance, including the daughters. The youngest son always inherited at Meier-Höfe. If there was none, the land was made available as a fief . The only farm in Suterode that has been run by the same family and their name for over 350 years is the farm of the Zimmermann family. The family still runs the farm at Unteren Straße 20, formerly Suterode No. 8, as the only main business still in existence in the village. Dirk Zimmermann, born in 1963, has been running the farm in at least the twelfth generation from 1646 onwards. However, since the inventory book from 1525 names a Cord Tymmermann as the farm owner, the family is likely to be settled in Suterode for longer. Today Zimmermann cultivates 35 hectares.

The Brandt family can also look back on a long tradition. The Brandts owned the former farm no. 4 at Unteren Straße 22. Since 1987, Reiner Brandt has been managing the nine-hectare farm as a sideline.

The Suteroder families Cornehl, Fricke, Hogreve, Wegener, Schulze, Heise, Scheidemann and Bertram also look back on a long tradition.

Wars and diseases

In the Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648 felt Suterode 1626 for the first time a direct impact: From Lindau from were Katlenburg , Wachenhausen and Suterode looted, to the plague raged. The inventory of the state government from 1636 was used to register the war damage in the "Amt Catlenburg". Only 13 of 29 farms were still managed by their owners, eleven had burned down, and there were no breadwinners on five farms.

The Seven Years' War (1756–1763) and the Franco-German War in 1870/71 did not stop at Suterode either. In addition, the “red epidemic” broke out in the village in 1714 and claimed many victims. At the end of 1835 ten Suteroder fell ill with fatal nerve fever, mostly shepherds and day laborers who lived in the parish hall. An epidemic of measles and diphtheria followed, from which school children in particular suffered. Seven children died.

National Socialism

In 1932 the NSDAP's share of the vote in Suterode was already 65.7%. At the end of the war refugees were accommodated on almost all farms in Suterode, until May 1952 233 refugees were living with 358 locals. The Second World War claimed a total of 43 victims, a seventh of the Suterod population.

Incorporations

On March 1, 1974, the previously independent community of Suterode was incorporated into the large community of Katlenburg-Lindau.
