Resumo: "The kindergarten is situated in the centre of our nice Old Town in Nordhausen next to the dome. From the kindergarten you can arrive the centre of city by foot.
Nordhausen, with its 45.000 inhabitans, is situated in the very North of Thuringia, close to both Saxony Anhalt and Lower Saxony. Nearby you also find the Harz mountains, a beloved area for excursions, climbing, trekking, bike riding and activity holidays. The Harz also houses Germany's second highest mountain, the Brocken.
The oldest source, in which Nordhausen is mentioned, can be traced back to the year of 927. The first industry, a spirits factory, settled in Nordhausen around 1500. The people of Nordhausen did not only experience an upswing in the economy. Huge parts of the city were damaged from several great fires (in 1540, 1686, 1710 and 1712).
With the concentration camp ""Mittelbau Dora"" situated nearby, where 60.000 prisoners were forced to work and produce the V1- and V2 rockets between 1943 and 1945, Nordhausen was part of the history of the Second World War. Around 20.000 convicts died in prisonment.
On the 3rd and 4th of April 1945, only a few weeks before the war would be over, 74% of the inner city was destroyed by the British Airforce, killing 8.800 people as well. Thereby, Nordhausen was one of the most damaged cities of the former German Democratic Republic (DDR).
Today Nordhausen is the industrial and cultural centre of Northern Thuringia:
Industrial mainly because of the excavator- production and the traditional spirits factory ""Nordbrand"". Culturally, Nordhausen offers theatre, a cinema, different museums, the concentration camp ""Mittelbau Dora"" and several other sights. Discos, nice and friendly pubs, restaurants, a city park, a shopping mall, bowling centres, an indoor swimming pool, our rope course and the climbing tower also contribute to the wide range of spare time offers.
