Stobra is a district of the city and rural community Bad Sulza in the Weimarer Land district in Thuringia .

location

Stobra lies on the plateau between the Saale and Ilm and is surrounded by fertile loess soils from the upper shell limestone. Various district roads connect Stobra with the neighboring districts of Hermstedt and Kösnitz as well as with the city of Apolda located 4 kilometers to the north-west .

history

Due to its favorable soil and water conditions, the plateau between the Saale and Ilm has been almost continuously inhabited since the Neolithic. From Stobra two oxen burials are known, the Kugelamphoren- and the Corded Ware culture (3100-2200 v. Chr.) Are attributable. Five cattle, two of each with their legs together, were placed in a burial mound. The fifth cow lay between the pairs. Furthermore, individual graves from the Hallstatt to Latène period (650-320 BC) were discovered.

The current village complex can be traced back to a Slavic settlement from the 9th to 10th centuries AD. Corresponding graves could be proven. The round shape of the settlement has been preserved to this day. The existence of another Slavic settlement Nebnitz within the local corridor is controversial.

Stobras was first mentioned in 1181. The place name is derived from the Slavic * stobor "column". As the original fiefdom of the Archdiocese of Mainz , the village came under the rule of the Burgraves of Kirchberg in the 12th century . In 1350 they sold Stobra to the city of Erfurt , so that it became the official village of the Kapellendorf office . Until the Thirty Years' War, some residents were involved in viticulture in Nerkewitzer Grund .

In 1774 the entire place except the church fell victim to a fire. From 1815 the place was part of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach , which subsequently incorporated it into the Dornburg office and in 1850 the Weimar II administrative district ( Apolda administrative district ). The replacement of the feudal burdens took place from 1821 to 1864. The village corridor was separated as early as the middle of the 19th century .

A total of 27 men in the village died in both world wars. On April 12, 1945, the site was occupied by US troops , who were replaced by the Red Army in early July . Stobra became part of the Soviet Zone and, from 1949, the GDR .

By 1959 the individual farms were merged to form the LPG . After the fall of the Wall , new forms of land management were found.

Culture and sights

Stobra is a listed round village , so that the central village square with church and pond as well as the courtyard plots radiating from it can still be seen today. A circular path along the outer border of the village also illustrates the old way of settlement.

The church of Stobra is originally a Romanesque building. In 1868 the nave was fundamentally rebuilt.
