Schierke, Mountain resort in Wernigerode, Germany.
Located in the Harz mountain range at 614 meters elevation, Schierke sits in the valley of the Cold Bode river near the Brocken peak.
The settlement started in 1506 with a sawmill and smelting works, received its first church in 1691, and formally joined Wernigerode municipality in 2009.
The German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe set the Walpurgis Night scene of Faust in the district of Schierke and neighboring Elend.
The Brocken Railway connects Schierke to Wernigerode and the Brocken summit, while numerous hiking trails and winter sports facilities serve visitors throughout the year.
The local Schierker Feuerstein herbal liqueur, created in 1924 by chemist Willy Drube, takes its name from the red granite Feuersteinklippe rock formation.
