 General view from the south

|
Ütteroda is an agricultural district of the municipality of Krauthausen in the Wartburg district in West Thuringia . The district is located on a south-facing slope, about 5 kilometers as the crow flies north of Eisenach at an altitude of 340 to 360 meters above sea level.
geography
The district of Ütteroda is located on the southern edge of the "Mihlaer plateau", a topographical sub-unit of the Creuzburg-Eisenacher trench .
The municipality of Ütteroda borders the city of Creuzburg in the west , Mihla in the north and east , the Eisenach districts of Neukirchen and Madelungen in the east and the core community of Krauthausen in the south. The highest elevation is the wooded Hohleite mountain ( 385.8 m above sea level ), followed by the Mihlberg ( 377.7 m above sea level ) and the Lerchenberg ( 342.8 m above sea level ). The geographic height of the place is 340 m above sea level. NN .
geology
Ütteroda lies in the area of the Creuzburger Graben, a section of the Eichenberg – Gotha – Saalfelder fault zone , which is strongly structured by numerous, roughly parallel faults. The near-surface geological subsurface therefore alternates over small areas. The rocks of the dolomite marl keuper dominate in the south-west, which is impressively cut in a geological outcrop on the “Rote Wand” at the eastern foot of the Hohleite. The marl layers are covered by yellow sandstones of the middle Rhaetian , which form the end of the Keuper rock sequence. In the northeast there is an abrupt transition to the main shell limestone , which there forms the leveling of the Mihla plateau.
Waters
The location of Ütteroda has no natural springs or watercourses. In a swampy, natural depression on the northeastern edge of the village, there is a water surface formed by precipitation, it is called "In the lake" and is now a natural monument. In the center of the locality, a fire water pond was created for preventive fire protection .
history
The place Ütteroda was created in the last clearing period of the High Middle Ages and was initially an estate assigned to the Creuzburg nunnery Sankt Jakob . The Lords of Uetterodt had their headquarters here.
The place in the office of Creuzburg was conveniently located on a side street off Lange-Hessen-Straße . After the secularization of the monastery property, this place became the property of the Lords of Buttlar (zu Creuzburg), who, as patron saints, made it possible to build a church as early as 1569. In 1637 Ütteroda was badly hit, half the town burned down, only 21 of 40 houses were preserved, and the majority of the 40 male residents were killed. Almost all of the livestock was captured by the looters.
Due to the unfavorable geological and topographical conditions in the place, there was an accumulation of typhoid infections between 1865 and 1867 . The wells of the place had a connection with the Gottesacker and some marshland above the place through the groundwater. 19 of the 280 residents of the town died from the contaminated well water.
In 1879, based on the 1875 census , statistical information on the location was published for the first time. This year Ütteroda had 49 houses with 252 residents. The size of the fields was 513.8 ha, of which courtyards and gardens 9.4 ha, meadows 1.7 ha, arable land 413.5 ha, forest 26.5 ha, ponds, streams and rivers 0.2 ha. Trifte, wasteland and orchards accounted for 62.4 hectares. The livestock was also remarkable: Ütteroda had 7 horses, 153 cattle, 324 sheep, 86 pigs and 17 goats.
Six German soldiers who died in the defensive battles against the advancing US armored spearheads on April 2, 1945 were buried in the local cemetery. Four citizens of Ütteroda were also killed when they were fired from the tank cannons.
On April 9, 1994, the previously independent community was incorporated into Krauthausen.
Attractions
Ütteroda has a small village green. At several points in the village there are still lovingly tended village fountains.
The village church was built from field stones around 1560. It was renovated after 1990 and has a new bell with radio-controlled clockwork.
Geological outcrops on the Hohleite
On the hail side is the Rote Wand , a particularly colorful Keuper outcrop . The rock packs emerge again on the local connecting road Ütteroda-Creuzburg.
Runder- and Langer Enspel nature reserve
The Runder- and Langer Enspel nature reserve is located about one kilometer south-east of the village, mainly in the Madelungen corridor. It was designated as a nature reserve because of the juniper grass here . In addition to the flora worthy of protection, 28 bird species, 18 butterfly species (butterflies) and the fire salamander were identified in the area , including some animal and plant species that are already on the red list of endangered species in Thuringia . The BUND district association Wartburgkreis and the city of Eisenach designated the area as Biotope of the Month May 2001 .
Mining
The Rhätsandstein has been broken as a building block since the High Middle Ages. The quarries have been preserved under the forest. The fine-grained Rhätsandstein from the Madelunger and Ütterodaer Flur can be found in numerous stone sculptures and buildings in the neighboring villages and in particularly large numbers in the Eisenach cemeteries. The stone marl banks were used as road gravel.
