geography

The settlement lies on the western edge of the Ohmgebirge plateau about 500 meters northwest of Kirchohmfeld . The location extends on the southwestern stratum between the upper and middle shell limestone of the Bornberg. In the local area there is a spring with an outflow towards Katharine , a small tributary of the Hahle . The only access road to the town and the neighboring Bodenstein settlement is the K 201 district road at the junction of the L 1012 state road in Kirchohmfeld.

Origin of name

The name Adelsborn goes back to the word Atzelborn, which denoted a spring at which Atzeln stood. Atzeln is called the alder on the Eichsfeld.

history

Adelsborn was first mentioned in a document in 1337, when the von Wintzingerode family and other nobles acquired the area around Bodenstein Castle . At the beginning of the 16th century the property of the Wintzingerode family was divided and the Adelsborn estate was built between Bodenstein and Kirchohmfeld . Uninhabited around 1750, it was rebuilt from 1796. A settlement was built around the manor.

From the 19th century Adelsborn was an independent manor district until it became part of the Kirchohmfeld community in the 20th century. In 1923 the estate was owned by Wilhelm Theodor Freiherr von Wintzingerode-Knorr and had a size of 538 hectares. After the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone (SBZ), the manor building was demolished in 1948. Today the archway with the year 1554 and the forester's house still exist from the actual estate. A little away in the forest is the Adelsborn grave.
