History+

The church in Nordhusen was built around the year 1200 or shortly before, on the northern bank of the Beber river. Soon after, around 1214, the inhabitants of Nordhusen began to abandon their original settlement and founded the nearby Hundisburg, likely for security reasons. A chapel in Hundisburg was consecrated as early as 1218 and served as a branch of the Nordhusen church. In 1262, Bishop Volrad of Halberstadt transferred the patronage rights of the Nordhusen church to the local cathedral chapter, by which time Nordhusen had probably already lost its significance. Mentions of income from Nordhusen can still be found in the years 1307 and 1325.
