Wernigerode is about 12 km east-northeast of the Brocken on the northeast flank of the Harz Mountains. The Holtemme flows through Wernigerode, into which the Zillierbach flows not far from the western gate.

history

As the name of the town suggests, Wernigerode was created as a clearing settlement. Wernigerode is first used in 1121 as the seat of the medieval County of Wernigerode mentioned with Count Adalbert zu Haimar (near Hildesheim). Wernigerode had the seat until the count's death Heinrich von Wernigerode 1429, with which the male line of the sex died out. Around 1200 Wernigerode received the right to mint, on April 17, 1229 city rights. The city has been a member of the Hanseatic League since 1267. The old town center was in the area of ​​the Klint southwest of the town hall. Around 1270, the new town was formed on the northern edge of the old town by influx. In the 14th and 15th centuries, Wernigerode achieved its heyday through the trade in cloth, beer and brandy. Plague epidemics in the 16th century and the devastation of the Thirty Years' War led to the decline of the city.

From 1645 to 1807 Wernigerode was the seat of the County of Stolberg-Wernigerode. At the end of the 18th century there was a renewed economic boom in the city, which it owed to the tanning of leather and the manufacture of cloth and linen. Since 1815 Wernigerode belonged to the Prussian province of Saxony.

During the industrial revolution in the middle of the 19th century, machine, tool making, wood and food companies settled here. In 1872 and 1884, Wernigerode received connections to the railway network Halberstadt or. Ilsenburg, and the most famous brewery in the Harz, the Hasseröder Brewery, was founded. In the second half of the 19th century, tourism was another economic mainstay. The Harzquer and Brocken Railway was laid out in 1896–1899.

The nature and local poet reported in a very entertaining newspaper report Hermann Loens (1866–1914) 1909 about the city,[1] in which he had stayed two years earlier:

“All cities up the Harz and down the Harz have their treasures and valuables; but none is as rich and colorful as Wernigerode.
Everything is there, what the heart desires: fun life and dreamy silence, urban elegance and village simplicity, flood of tourism and established peculiarities, new design and old architecture; it is the city of colorful contrasts that have merged into an atmospheric uniformity. "

The characterization as a “colorful city” has been used by the Wernigerode tourist offices for advertising since 1911.

At the end of the Second World War, the city surrendered to the US troops without a fight and was thus largely spared from war damage. After the Second World War, Wernigerode belonged to the state of Saxony-Anhalt. Today around 35,000 people live in the city.

Monuments

  • 30  Hermann Löns Monument, Hermann-Löns-Weg, 38855 Wernigerode. The monument erected by the Harz Club on August 4, 1929 has a plaque designed by Hans Bülow. The hunter, nature and homeland poet is remembered Hermann Loens (1866-1914). His most famous novel is "The military wolf“, A chronicle from the Thirty Years War. From May to June 1907 he stayed in Wernigerode with his family for six weeks.[4] In a story in the Hannoversches Unterhaltungsblatt[1][4] In 1909 he coined the term “colorful city”, whereby this characterization probably referred not only to the city itself, but also to the natural diversity around the city. The Wernigerode traffic office acquired the rights and in April 1911 had the almost 30-page brochure “Wernigerode: the colorful city on the Harz” printed by the Vierthaler publishing house. In 1916 the report appeared posthumously as part of the book "The Valley of Songs and Other Descriptions".
