The City of Bad Harzburg has had a long and unique history. Situating on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains, the city was recognized as a saltwater spa and climatic health resort. In 780 AD, a statue and sacred grove to Krodo, the Germanic god, located on Burgberg, was destroyed by King Charles the Great during the course of the Saxon Wars. In its place, a fine Catholic Cathedral was built. Over the centuries, the city of Harzburg was used by the kings of Germany to maintain their rule over Saxony. In 916, King Conrad I established a college of canons at Harzburg to strengthen his rule over the Duchy of Saxony, led by Duke Henry the Fowler. However, the college would later be transferred to Henry III’s Kaiserpfalz in Goslar in 1039. From 1065 to 1068, Henry III’s son, Henry IV, built Harzburg Castle to maintain Imperial authority in Saxony. The Castle was besieged in 1073 by Otto of Nordheim, Duke of Bavaria, during the Great Saxon Revolt. Henry IV escaped the Castle and secured peace in the Empire with the Peace of Gerstungen. The Holy Roman Emperor, Fredrick Barbarossa, rebuilt Harzburg following the defeat of his rival, Saxon Duke Henry the Lion, in 1180. Frederick’s son, Otto IV, died in the castle on May 19, 1218.

From 1488, Harzburg and its surrounding areas were part of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. In 1569, Duke Julius of Brunswick promoted the development of a saline water well to extract salt. The well, named Juliushall, the brine extracted from the well would later be used for saline baths and other medical purposes relating to the respiratory system. In 1892, the city, officially named Neustadt (New State), was renamed Harzburg. It was granted the title Bad, German for Bath, and received town privileges in 1894. Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck would later be given honorary citizenship for Bad Harzburg in 1895. Until the destruction of Germany, the city became an important tourist attraction and spa town.

On October 11, 1931, the German Far-Right gathered at Bad Harzburg to form a united “National Opposition” against the federal government of Heinrich Brüning. The “Harzburg Front” was initiated by Alfred Hugenburg, leader of the national-conservative German National People’s Party, and was joined by the ex-servicemen’s paramilitary group, Der Stalhelm, the nationalist pressure group Alldeutscher Verband, and leader of the National Socialist German Worker’s Party. During the Second World War, the hotels of Bad Harzburg were transformed into military hospitals, yet the town surrendered without a fight to the 83rd US Infantry Division on April 11, 1945. The City was incorporated into the British Zone of Allied-occupied Germany, before being incorporated into the Federal Republic of Germany, or West Germany. The Harzburg Railway station was the eastern terminus of a major railway route just west of the inner German border.

When the bombs started to fall on West Germany, Otto Ernst Remer believed that the time was ready for the Fourth Reich to rise. Remer, returning to Germany in chaos, gathered a few thousand Neo-Nazis, and at first traveled to Berlin. The city, although nearly destroyed, had a few people still alive. Breaking into Spandau Prison, the group managed to rescue Albert Speer, Karl Dönitz, Rudolf Hess, and Baldur von Schirach, all four of whom had miraculously survived the nuclear attack on Berlin after being evacuated underground. Remer traveled to Harzburg for its symbolic purpose. The City was the center of the National Opposition against the Weimar Republic, and now, Remer hoped it could serve as the center of the National Resistance against the West and East German remnants. He also believed that the Brine harvested from the well could be used to treat respiratory issues caused by Nuclear Radiation. When Remer arrived at Harzburg, he proclaimed the restoration of the Greater Germanic Reich. In accordance with Hitler’s will, Dönitz would assume the position of President, while Hess would be made Chancellor. Schirach, the former head of the Hitler Youth, would be made Reich Minister of Interior, while Speer would be made Reich Minister of Economics. Remer, the de facto leader, would be the Commander-in-Chief of the Volksheer and Reich Minister of Defence.

Over time, Harzburg would be transformed into a Fascist Fortress, with Speer using his architectural ability to construct the remnants of Harzburg Castle into a Fortress. The Brine would be used for cooking, de-icing the roads and railways during the harsh, nuclear winter, and even purifying water. Over time, the Goslar district would be under the control of Remer’s National Salvation Government, where silver, zinc, and iron would be mined from the Harz Mountains. Currently, the National Salvation Government, led by Rüdiger Lucassen, is working to reopen the Dams of the Upper Harz Water Regale and more mines in the Upper Harz. More importantly, however, the people of Harzburg and soon all of Gesler would be transformed. Saved by the last soldiers of Hitler's National Revolution, the people of Harzburg believed that only Fascism could save Germany from the Nuclear Winter. While most of Germany had been annihilated, Harzburg stood as a beacon of hope and glory for all remaining Germans, a remnant of Germany's glory. However, with the Nuclear Holocaust seemingly coming to an end, Herr Lucassen believes now it is the time for the restoration of the Reich, and to bring forth, Germany’s National Revolution.
