Oberharz am Brocken
Oberharz am Brocken (German pronunciation: [ˌoːbɐhaːɐ̯ts ʔam ˈbʁɔkŋ̍]) is a town in the Harz District, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.[3] The name chosen by the new town's administration has caused some disturbance, as the area is not part of the Upper Harz region, which traditionally refers to the seven mining towns (Bergstädte) of Clausthal, Zellerfeld, Andreasberg, Altenau, Lautenthal, Wildemann, and Grund, all located in the neighbouring state of Lower Saxony.A lawsuit filed by the Lower Saxon Samtgemeinde ("collective municipality") Oberharz in 2009 was dismissed by the Saxony-Anhalt administrative court in Magdeburg.The town consists of the following ten Ortschaften or municipal divisions (former municipalities):[4] The merger has united different areas each with its own distinct administrative history: Benneckenstein and Sorge had formed an exclave of the former Bishopric of Halberstadt and were incorporated into the Prussian Principality of Halberstadt in 1648.Hasselfelde, Rübeland, Stiege, Tanne, and Trautenstein since 1815 were part of the Duchy of Brunswick.
