Nordhausen is located in the northern part of Germany's Free State of Thuringia, the smallest state of former East Germany. Founded in April 972, Nordhausen has 46,000 inhabitants nowadays, making it the largest city of northern Thuringia. It is surrounded by the mountain ranges of the Harz, Kyffhäuser, Hainleite, and the cultural landscape of Eichsfeld. In April 1945, more than 70% of the city was destroyed by an allied attack during the second world war. Eight thousand eight hundred people lost their lives. With the traditional industries of spirits manufacturing and tobacco processing, Nordhausen became an important economic region for many years. However, the introduction of the market economy caused a profound restructuring of the industries. Nowadays, Nordhausen's industry is still characterized by a large spirits manufacturer and medium-sized craft businesses and service companies. View full university
