history

The village is first mentioned in documents around 800 AD. A prince Dedo or Tete is said to have founded an outbuilding on a consecrated well and later left it to a knight. His name was Mushard von Beroldo, who is considered to be the progenitor of the von Tettenborn family (lived around 1284). His grandson Mango, who died in 1316, is buried in the Walkenried monastery . His brothers Heino and Cuno donated a number of goods to this monastery, so that the brothers of the order hold a weekly soul mass "for all relatives who died from Adam and will still die in the future" (quote from the Genealogical-Historical Adels-Lexicon of the Holy Roman Empire from 1719).

Tettenborn was an independent municipality until it was incorporated into the city of Bad Sachsa on July 1, 1972. The village currently has around 600 inhabitants, 450 of whom live in the actual village, the remaining 150 in Tettenborn Colony.

Frontier Museum

Grenzlandmuseum Tettenborn

In Tettenborn there was a border museum in the village community center since November 12, 1992 . It was only a few hundred meters away from the former inner-German border .

The museum was opened exactly three years after the provisional border opening on the B 243 there . It showed the development of the GDR's barriers in the southern Harz from 1945 to 1990. The museum presented a large number of original pieces of equipment used by the GDR border troops and documented spectacular border breaches, but also life in the border area. The command post of a 4 × 4 m observation tower was set up in the museum.

The former museum director used to work for the public order office of the city of Bad Sachsa and volunteered for the border information service at the border (FRG), the former exhibition manager as senior staff officer of the border troops of the GDR ( NVA ) in the same border section.

The Grenzlandmuseum moved to Bad Sachsa in 2016 .

coat of arms

The coat of arms was adopted by the local council in a town council in 1983.

Blazon : "In blue a silver wave pole with a black wolf tang ."

The blue color and the wave stake should indicate the ending "-born" in the name of the district and stand for spring and flowing water. In a document from the Walkenried monastery in 1237, Tettenborn was named with a family of knights of the same name. This noble family still lived in the village at the beginning of the 19th century. The coat of arms of the von Tettenborn shows a black wolf tang in silver.

The coat of arms was designed by Walkenried Karl Helbing.
