history
Since 1908, remains of the Ehringsdorf prehistoric man have been found in the travertine quarries of the Ilm valley on the outskirts ; In 2014 the Silexspitze from Weimar-Ehringsdorf was found .
Tombs from the Neolithic Age prove that the area is one of the oldest settlement areas in Weimar.
The place was first mentioned on July 7, 1252 as Hyringstorf . Further mentions followed in 1254 as Irrungestorff (probably the village of an Iring), from 1280 a family from Iringesdorf was attested. The oldest building known by name is the Marienkapelle , consecrated in 1330, followed by the village church of Our Lady in 1365 . In 1408 Landgrave Friedrich donated Ehringsdorf to the Oberweimar monastery . In 1525 the princely order to accept the new Lutheran faith was issued for Weimar and the surrounding area, and the parish church became Protestant . In 1613 heavy rains caused the Thuringian Flood , which is said to have risen over 8 meters - with corresponding fatalities and property damage. The place often suffered from floods. Particularly bad raged the plague 1635/36 and 1639 in the Thirty Years' War . In 1640 the village was robbed by Swedish soldiers. The population fell by half during the war.
From 1734 travertine was mined in Ehringsdorf, initially on a small scale . From 1724 to 1732 the Belvedere Palace was built as a pleasure and hunting palace for the Weimar dukes, then a landscape park was created. After the battle of Jena and Auerstedt in 1806, the French set up a large field camp between Ehringsdorf and Belvedere. There were systematic heavy looting in Weimar and Ehringsdorf. Even the interior of the Marienkirche was robbed.
Carl Johann Christian Wilhelm Heydenreich from Oberweimar bought the small Ehringsdorfer manor in 1836 , which was then acquired from the inheritance in 1856 by his son Richard Heydenreich. The "single beer brewery " belonging to the manor has been expanded considerably since the 1870s, to become the Heydenreich manor brewery in Ehringsdorf . The Heydenreich family owned five restaurants and three hotels in Weimar. In 1900 Richard Heydenreich donated a representative cemetery chapel to the residents. After his father's death in 1913, Wilhelm Heydenreich, who had returned from the war, took over the estate and the brewery.
From 1850 onwards, limestone mining was increased considerably. So the Sophie the pin, took place in Weimar in the construction of the Grand Ducal Theater , the Goethe and Schiller Archive and hotels Elephant Ehringsdorf travertine use. In 1874 the Ilm bridge was built at the Kipper spring in Ehringsdorf, and in 1883 water pipes and canals were laid. In 1895 the community planted a "Bismarck oak" on the gymnasium. Electrification took place in 1905, and a telephone system was available from 1906. The First World War interrupted the economic boom.
Younger local history
On October 1, 1922, the suburbs of Oberweimar and Ehringsdorf were incorporated into Weimar, which have since been a common district. The district is connected to Weimar city center via the long Belvederer Allee .
Like Weimar, Ehringsdorf was occupied by US troops in April 1945 and by the Red Army in early July . This set up its headquarters in the Belvedere Palace. In September 1945 the land reform was carried out, the manor (278 ha) and the brewery were expropriated without compensation. The manor was divided among new farmers who set up homesteads in Neu-Ehringsdorf in particular. The management of the brewery was taken over by the Soviet military administration , followed by the consumer cooperative. In 1952, the LPG "Ulrich von Hutten" was founded, and in 1960, under duress, it became "fully cooperative". From 1956 onwards, travertine mining was intensified by introducing the large-bore blasting method in what is now the VEB lime and travertine plant in Ehringsdorf .
Today (2010) the travertine plant Traco based in Bad Langensalza is still active to a limited extent . The brewery continues to produce beer, which is then bottled in Pößneck .
The Ehringsdorf 01 homeland club has developed a lively club life for homeland care in Ehringsdorf around the inn and club "Zur Linde" . Whimsical, cheeky and hearty, "Ehringsdorf primitive people" who have lived since 1951 have welcomed the guests of the restaurant "Zur Linde" in Ehringsdorf. The father of this company was the painter and graphic artist Siegfried (Frieder) Kötscher (1886–1954). On the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the place in 2002, the custom was revived.

Archaeological outdoor area
Since 1908, fossilized plants and animal remains as well as Pleistocene human remains have been found in the travertine quarries of the Ilm Valley , whose age is at least 120,000 years. They come from the Eem warm period , some finds could even be 200,000 years old. The Ehringsdorf prehistoric man, discovered in 1925, became world famous . The skeletal fragment was determined to be a largely complete canopy of a prehistoric man. The large number of these finds from the Ehringsdorf quarries resulted in the designation of an archaeological protection zone in order to allow scientists to examine and recover valuable finds at any time. The regulation also had an impact on the operation of the quarry, so certain mining areas were reserved for research. The archaeological open-air site in Weimar-Ehringsdorf was opened in 2009. The circle of friends for the establishment of an open-air museum in the travertine quarry Weimar-Ehringsdorf had already achieved the designation as a protected landscape component in 1998 .
