In 1924, the village of 'Oberlutter' and the monastery church of Königslutter were incorporated into the city. The Benedictine monastery had been founded near the village of Lutter in 1135 by Emperor Lothar of Supplinburg. The monastery church is known for its sculptural art and the tomb of the emperor.
