The name of the district, which was also called Sausenburg in the early modern period, probably comes from the legend that a princess Suse lived on the castle above the town. The district was created in the 1950s southwest of Rübeland as a workers' housing estate for the expanding Harzer Kalk- und Zementwerke.
