Where is Nordhausen actually located?

Never heard of Nordhausen? Or perhaps you only know the "real Nordhäuser"?

Nordhausen has more to offer, because Nordhausen is also University city!

It is located in the north of Thuringia on the border with Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony. The city is therefore very central - in the centre of Germany.

With around 46,000 inhabitants, Nordhausen is the largest town in northern Thuringia. It is located on the edge of the southern Harz and close to the Kyffhäuser Mountains, the Hainleite and the Eichsfeld. The city was founded in 927. 70% of the city was destroyed by an allied bombing raid in April 1945 and 8,800 people lost their lives.

Over the centuries, Nordhausen has been an important economic region with the traditional trades of spirits production and tobacco processing. After the introduction of the market economy, the industry underwent a profound reorganisation. In addition to a major spirits production company, Nordhausen's economy is primarily characterised by medium-sized craft businesses and service companies.

With the founding of the University of Applied Sciences in 1997, small engineering and development companies have also been added in recent years.
