Editing Bischofferode (section)

==Bischofferode and Holungen==

The historical border of the area "Eichsfeld" goes straight through the drainage area of the two schools - Bischofferode and Holungen are dominated by the Catholic belief, that shows the traditional membership to the Eichsfeld. Hauröden is dominated by the Protestant belief, what shows, that the village was historically stronger linked to the Protestant area of Nordhausen and Sondershausen. (Hauröden has been a part of the district of Nordhausen until 1952).

It was first mentioned in 1186 as a convent village of the monastery in Gerode.

Little hamlets in the boundary: - Wenigenbischofferode - Husen - Poppenrode

The arms are The unprooting hoe and the crosier show the origin as an unprooting village and the bishop's property.

===Economy===

The people mainly earned their money in the agricultural production until the beginning of the 20th century. Then in 1909 the salt mine opened. It was the most important branch until 31 December 1993. This date was the end of the salt production in Bischofferode. Today the trade plays a more important role.
