Abteroda is a district of the town of Werra-Suhl-Tal in the Wartburg district in Thuringia ( Germany ).
location
Abteroda is located on the Hessian-Thuringian border and was inaccessible in the restricted area during the GDR era. The place is at an altitude of 280 m and is framed in the north by the Abterodaer Berg and in the north-west by the Auelsberg . In the east, the Frauenseer Forst extends to the edge of the village with the “Großer Buchrück” mark.
To the south and south-west of the location there is a pronounced spring horizon. The southern group in the "Teichwiese" feeds the "Eschenbach" (also "Schwarzer Graben") coming from Vitzeroda, the western group forms the headwaters of the "Großer Graben", as the stream flowing through Dippach is called today, which is in a narrow one Valley flows off to the neighboring village. The water flow from these springs is unsteady, which is why the farmers have created a small pond at the highest spring on the northern edge of the village, which secured the drinking water supply.
history
Abteroda was made arable for the abbey of Hersfeld on behalf of Abbot Ruthard . The name Abteroda is derived from this.
The oldest known document with reference to the place Abteroda was issued on March 20, 1143. The settlement was close to the "Hohen Strazza", which passes only 500 m north of the village over the ridge of the Auelsberg and the Hohe Rod following to the north in the direction of Berka / Werra. In 1035 Abteroda was acquired by the abbot of the Fulda monastery. In the late Middle Ages, the village bordered the area of the Frauensee monastery, which was only five kilometers away . After the Peasants' War the Frauensee monastery area was secularized, the monastery taken over by the Hessian landgrave formed the administrative center of the Hessian office of Frauensee , into which the majority of the neighboring towns were incorporated. In 1553 the Hessian Landgrave Philipp I acquired the villages of Vitzeroda, Abteroda and Gasteroda. They were assigned to the Heringen court in the Friedewald office.
According to the regulations of the Congress of Vienna , the places Vitzeroda, Abteroda and Gasteroda came from the Electorate of Hesse-Kassel to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach in 1816 .
In 1914 the Abteroda mine was built, in which potash was mined until 1922. From 1937 the Wehrmacht took over the disused Abteroda potash mine and expanded it into an underground ammunition depot. In 1944, BMW relocated its production capacities for aircraft engines from the BMW aircraft engine factory in Eisenach to the mine that the Wehrmacht had taken over for this purpose. In this context, the Abteroda concentration camp existed from 1944 to April 8, 1945 as a satellite camp of the Buchenwald concentration camp in Abteroda.
On July 1, 1950 Abteroda was incorporated into the municipality of Vitzeroda ; On March 17, 1994, both places became districts of Berka / Werra, and on January 1, 2019 of Werra-Suhl-Tal.
