Geographical position
Nöschenrode is located at the foot of the Harz Mountains in the Mühlental. The Zillierbach, which comes from the Zillierbachtalsperre, flows through the town. The Bundesstraße 244 runs through the town.
History
It got first recorded in 1370 as Noscherot in a document. The place originated below Wernigerode Castle and belonged to the County of Wernigerode. On the shoreline of the Zillierbach in the Mühlental there were several mills, which were mentioned as early as 1417, including a sawmill, oil mill and marble mill. With the preservation of wood justice, the place received an economic boom. On 30 September 1929, Nöschenrode was incorporated into Wernigerode.

Why this record matters
The phrase “human settlement in Germany” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q2006827. VIAF identifies the subject as 239264575. Authority coordinates are 51.827, 10.794. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1370, 1417 and 1929.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
