Sophienhof is a village in the municipality of Harztor in the district of Nordhausen in the German federal state of Thuringia.

Sophienhof has a halt on the Harz Railway, which is located in the forest to the west outside the village.

[1] In 1710, Count Christian Ernest of Stolberg-Wernigerode inherited the County of Wernigerode and Hohnstein Forest.

In 1712, he married Sophie Charlotte Countess zu Leiningen-Westerburg, after whom the village was renamed in 1720, having previously been called Schmerplatz.

[2] After a preaching sites had been established in 1734 in Rothesütte and Sophienhof, a small church was built in Sophienhof which, like the church in neighbouring Rothesütte fell into ruins due to its proximity to the Inner German Border and was torn down in the 1960s.
