Osterode is a German village (Ortsteil) in the municipality of Harztor in the district of Nordhausen, Thuringia. It is located approximately 1 kilometer northwest of Neustadt/Harz.

History

The small village was first mentioned in documents dating from 1216. ^[1] There was a manor and a parson active in the village since the 13th century. ^[2] At the beginning of the 13th century, a fortified church was built, to whose tower the current church was added in 1759. ^[3] There was a charcoal kiln until the 21st century. In 1952, the village was incorporated into the former municipality of Neustadt/Harz which in turn merged to form the new municipality of Harztor on 1 January 2012. ^{[4] [5]}
