Hasserode

Hasserode has been a quarter in the town of Wernigerode in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt since 1907.

Hasserode lies at the foot of the Harz Mountains in the valley of the River Holtemme, whose upper reaches include the water cascade of the Steinerne Renne. A state road (Landstraße) runs through the quarter to Drei Annen Hohne and Schierke in the direction of the Harz's highest mountain, the Brocken. The Harz Railway and Brocken Railway, part of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways also run through the district which has three stations: Hochschule Harz (formerly Kirchstraße), Wernigerode-Hasserode and Steinerne Renne.

The village grew up around Hasserode Castle in the 12th century, but was abandoned by the 16th century and was only reoccupied again in 1768 by order of King Frederick II of Prussia, hence the name Friedrichsthal for the lower part of the parish and the village name of Hasserode-Friedrichsthal which has been used from time to time.

The Hasserode Holiday (Hasseröder Ferienpark) was established at the start of the 21st century on Langen Stieg and in the Nessel valley, on the terrain of the old open-air swimming pool. It is a holiday camp with an indoor pool.

Amongst the walking destinations in the area is the Elversstein.
