The village is located approximately 5 kilometers west of Vienenburg, 7 kilometers northeast of Goslar, and 20 kilometers south of Braunschweig. Immenrode lies south of some small, wooded ridges in a flat area a few kilometres north of the Harz.
==History== The place name belongs to the so-called ''Rodungsnamen'' and indicates that, as with many toponyms ending in ''-rode'', was built on a plot of land, originally woods or heath, cleared to make room for cultivation or pasture. The suffix ''-rode'' stems from the Germanic verb ''ryddan'', which means "to remove", "to clear" or "to rid". The prefix ''immen-'' is common in place names, field names and also in personal names. It likely recalls the name of the founder of the settlement, perhaps an Immo.<ref name="Flurnamen">{{Cite web |url=https://immenro.de/geschichte-die-flurnamen |website=Immenrode |title=Geschichte die Flurnamen |trans-title=History of the field names |access-date=16 January 2024 |language=de |last=Thieleman |first=Otto}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title=Die Ortsnamen des Landkreises Goslar |trans-title=The place names of the district of Goslar |last1=Casemir |first1=Kirstin |last2=Ohainski |first2=Uwe |publisher=Verlag für Regionalgeschichte |location=Bielefeld |pages=101–102 |url=https://rep.adw-goe.de/bitstream/handle/11858/2262/NOB%20X%20Die%20Ortsnamen%20des%20Landkreises%20Goslar.pdf |language=de}}</ref>
The village was first mentioned in 1086 in a document in which Emperor Henry IV transferred the Royal Palace of Werla to Bishop Udo of Hildesheim, along with ''villas Immenrothe et Jehthere'' (probably referring to Gitter near Salzgitter).<ref name="Flurnamen"/> In the Middle Ages, the Counts of Woldenberg, the Neuwerk monastery and Count Gerhard of Holstein-Itzehoe owned property here. Immenrode has been a church village since the Middle Ages; the Wöltingerode Abbey held the patronage for several centuries.
