I found something else in the Legendary Harz Facebook group from 06/07/2018.

The Schierker Burg - an almost forgotten ghost villa

At the end of the 19th century, vacationing in Schierke was not without its dangers, because Schierke was involved in the construction of the first road, which Prince Otto von Stollberg-Wernigerode generously supported with his own funds, and the connection to the Brockenbahn in 1898 from a charcoal burner settlement with a sawmill to the St. Moritz of the North, which attracted more and more rich, well-respected people yesterday. to go on vacation. Money as a privilege, not everyone could afford it, not for several weeks at a time

to work and hike through the Harz mountains instead. Anyone who hiked had money that had to attract the robbers, so in 1909 and 1934 several robberies happened on the Brocken

A terrible tale is also told of the villa in Schierke that General Schumann (a descendant of Prince Otto von Stollberg-Wernigerode) had built around 1870 as an oasis of retreat in the form of an idiosyncratic castle:

The Franco-Prussian War had just ended and Schumann had moved to that castle with his servants to spend the rest of his life there. Regardless of your rank, he was an important man for the German fatherland. He thought up turrets mounted on carriages, he was to develop the latest metal alloys and make plans on how armor could be improved. His patents were in demand, not only from the Germans, but also from the enemy. As a National Socialist, it was a matter of course for him: the most important ones

Research results, the best patents go to the state.
