Origins and history
A first settlement, probably restricted to a tiny islet in the Oker river, was founded in the tenth century and mentioned in 1118 as Wulferisbuttle, when the Saxon count Widekind erected a water castle on the trade route from Brunswick to Halberstadt and Leipzig. Henry the Lion destroyed it in 1191.
