Wernigerode: Guide
Wernigerode is a town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is the capital of the district of Wernigerode (district)|Wernigerode. It is located southwest of Halberstadt, and is picturesquely situated on the Holtemme river, on the north slopes of the Harz Mountains. Population (1999): 35,500. During the GDR period, it was very close to the border between East and West Germany.
It contains several interesting Gothic buildings, including a fine town hall with a timber facade of 1498. Some of the quaint old houses which have escaped the numerous fires that have visited the town are elaborately adorned with wood-carving. The Gerhart-Hauptmanngymnasium (school)|-Gymnasium, occupying a modern Gothic building, is the successor of an ancient grammar-school, which existed until 1825. Brandy, Hassserode Lager, cigars and dyes are among the products manufactured in Wernigerode. Above the town rises the castle (Schloss Wernigerode) of the prince Stolberg-Wernigerode; the original was built in the 12th century. The present castle was built between 1862 and 1893 by K. Fruhling and includes parts of the medieval building.
There is a narrow gauge railway, the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen|Harzer Schmalspurbahn, that leads from Wernigerode both to The Brocken (1141m), the highest peak in the Harz Mountains, and onward through to Nordhausen to the south of the Harz mountains. The second highest peak, the Wurmberg (971m), is accessible by cable car from Braunlage which is connected by bus to Wernigerode.
The counts of Wernigerode, who can be traced back to the early 12th century, were successively vassals of the margraves of Brandenburg (1268), and the archbishops of Magdeburg (1381). When the family died out in 1429 the county fell to the counts of Stolberg, Saxony-Anhalt|Stolberg, who founded the Stolberg-Wernigerode branch in 1645. The latter surrendered its military and fiscal independence to Prussia in 1714, but retained some of its sovereign rights till 1876. The counts of Stolberg-Wernigerode were raised to princely rank in 1890.
