Göhrde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Göhrde, a forest of Germany, in the Prussian province of Hanover, immediately west of the Elbe, between Wittenberg and Luneburg. It has an area of about 85 m². and is famous for its oaks, beeches and game preserves. It is memorable for the victory gained here, on 16 September 1813, by the allies, under Wallmoden, over the French forces commanded by Pecheur. The hunting-box situated in the forest was built in 1689 and was restored by Ernest Augustus, King of Hanover. It is known to history on account of the constitution of Gohrde, promulgated here in 1719.
