Süpplingen
Süpplingen is a municipality in the district of Helmstedt, in Lower Saxony, Germany. The village is located on the Schunter in Helmstedt district, Lower Saxony, about 6 km to the west of Helmstedt, by the Bundesstraße 1. It is one of the municipalities constituting the Nord-Elm municipal association. The former mining settlement of Nordschacht forms part of the municipality.
Süpplingenburg, a separate village and municipality which emerged from a medieval castle complex, is located nearby.
Süpplingen was first mentioned in the year 888 AD as sophingi in an exchange certificate.
About 1770, the first open-pit coal mine opened in the area. During the second half of the 19th Century, the sugar industry emerged as an additional economic sector. Nonetheless, lignite mining continued to be important for the local economy.
From 1885 to 1888 AD, the 54-meter-deep northern shaft of the Süpplinger Germarkung (district) was sunk. It belonged to the Prinz Wilhelm shaft in Wolsdorf, which had existed since 1821 AD. From 1890 AD, a cable car connected the northern shaft with the NorddeutscheZuckerraffinerie Frellstedt (Northern German Sugar Refinary Frellstedt), the main buyer of the coal extracted there. After the drainage failed in 1921 following machinery damage, the northern shaft was abandoned.

Various Germanic tribes have inhabited the northern parts of modern Germany since classical antiquity. A region named Germania was documented before AD 100. In 962, the Kingdom of Germany formed the bulk of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation. Following the Napoleonic Wars and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the German Confederation was formed in 1815.
