Langelsheim

The urban center extends between the Innerste and Grane rivers at the northern edge of the Harz mountains, near the Harz National Park.

The settlement emerged from a tenth-century hill fort at Kahnstein mountain, constructed under the supervision of the Ottonian dynasty rulers.

The Heimatmuseum of Langelsheim displays regional artifacts and documents that demonstrate the evolution of local mining and metallurgical traditions.

The town connects eight districts including Astfeld, Bredelem, Hahausen, Langelsheim, Lautenthal, Lutter am Barenberge, Wallmoden, and Wolfshagen im Harz.

The municipality developed from a medieval iron smelting center that processed ore from the neighboring Rammelsberg mines starting in the thirteenth century.
