Northeim is a city in Lower Saxony, Germany, seat of the district of Northeim, with a population of 31,000 (as of 2002).
Northeim is first mentioned in 800 in a document recording a propery transfer by a Frankish nobleman to the Abbey of Fulda. In the 10th century the surrounding region became a county, administered by the Counts of Northeim. The first of them, Siegfried of Northeim is mentioned in 982. From 1061 to 1070 Count Otto II of Northeim held the duchy of Bavaria as Imperial fief, but lost it again because of an alleged involvement in a murder plot against the king.
The monastery of St. Blasius was founded around 1100. In 1252 Northeim obtained city rights, and from 1384 to 1554 it was a member of the Hanseatic League.
The city of Northeim is the subject of William Sheridan Allen's book The Nazi Seizure of Power, a comprehensive study of the success of Nazism at the town level.
Imbshausen, the site of a post World War II British sector displaced person camp, was incorporated into the city in 1974.
