Sudmerberg is a suburb of Goslar on the edge of the Harz Mountains in Germany, which is named after the prominent, 354 metre high hill to the east. It lies between Goslar and Bad Harzburg on the B 6 federal road and has 1,880 inhabitants.[1]

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.
