History

In April 1935 Goslar's town council issued the development plan for the district of Sudmerberg and, as early as 1936, the first people moved into their houses and flats. Building ceased during the Second World War. From 1948 numerous refugee families found homes in Sudmerberg and so, in expectation of an increase in the permanent population, it was decided to build Sudmerberg School; the school was opened in 1950. Until about 1960 there was an open-cast mine on the Sudmerberg in a small sandstone quarry.

Points of interest

  • The wellspring on the market square contains a lump of ore from the Rammelsberg Ore Mine. The sculpture called Girl with the umbrella (Mädchen mit dem Wasserschirm) was created by the artist, Anna Barth, from Sankt Andreasberg.
  • From the old watchtower, the Sudmerberger Warte, on the summit of the Sudmerberg there are good views of the entire town of Goslar, the northern Harz Foreland and the highest mountain in the Harz, the Brocken.

    • Clubs and events

    The Fanfarenzug Goslar Sudmerberg, now Powerbrass Goslar, was founded in 1965.
