The Goehrde was since the early 16th century, a popular hunting ground of the nobles. In the years 1706-1709 a large three-story castle building with about 100 rooms and several outbuildings were built in the area now called Goehrde, designed by Louis Remy de la Fosse.
A ranger in the forest house Röthen, a local situation of Goehrde, 1690 has already been recorded. A well-known incumbent was the forester Ferdinand Wallmann (1826-1921), a former reserve rider in Hanover, where the site was transferred on October 1, 1868.

After 1819 individual buildings of the hunting lodge and 1827 and the castle itself were canceled. Only after the establishment of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1837 renovated to some of the buildings, and the Goehrde once again became the royal hunting reserve. From 1869 to 1913 the German Emperor stayed regularly for hunting in the hunting lodge. After the hunting lodge was a recreation center for civil servants, a seminary and a military hospital. In 1957 the so-called Europe home was built for conferences and seminars. In 1977 was built on the site of the demolished hunting lodge, a guest house.
Already in the middle of the 19th century began the construction of Wendland path through the Goehrde with the Station Goehrde in Breese (1874 opening of the line Buchholz -Lüneburg -Dannenberg - Wittenberg ), which still leads to Dannenberg. Since 1995, this compound has become nationally known through the annual nuclear waste transports in the nuclear waste interim storage facility that via this route to the loading station Dannenberg. The protests against these transports and the massive contingent of police have the Wendland dominated ever since. To offer residents every year hundreds of anti-nuclear activists their barns and houses for overnight.
