history

Rudisleben was first mentioned in the 8th century as Rudolfeslebo . The current village church of St. Johannes dates from 1732. It was built after the previous building fell victim to a fire. The special thing about the baroque church building is the cross-shaped floor plan. Until 1920 Rudisleben belonged to the sovereignty in the principality or Free State of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen , then to the Arnstadt district and since July 1, 1999 to the city of Arnstadt .
The first preparations for the geological exploration of salt deposits in the Flur Rudisleben began in 1845, initiated by a lieutenant engineer August Rost from Erfurt; Mill was built. The water from the nearby Gera was used to drive the feed pumps. Already in the early years of the salt works, brine water was delivered to Arnstadt in barrels to serve as the basis for a spa there. In its heyday, the saltworks, powered by Westphalian hard coal, produced up to 1,000 tons of salt per year, and in 1869 a second drilling was necessary to a depth of 365 m. In 1883 the salt works were acquired by the Flaschendräger brothers. In order to increase production, it was necessary to build a railway line from Arnstadt, which was extended to the neighboring town of Ichtershausen. The salt works were no longer profitable after 1910 due to the chemical composition of the brine; the salt works were shut down in 1912.

During the Second World War , 311 “ Eastern workers ” who were housed in three camps had to do forced labor in local companies : in the Mako and Scholz machine works and at the Polte works .

politics

The local mayor Joachim Lindner was elected in the mayoral election on March 11, 2007, in which he ran as the only candidate.
