history

The earliest documented mention of Albrechts so far took place on May 14, 1112. The place names the year 1111 for the first documentary mention.

For many centuries, Albrechts was split into the Henneberg offices of Suhl and Hallenberg in terms of his lordship . After the Counts of Henneberg died out , the place came under the joint administration of the Ernestine and Albertine Wettins in 1583 . As part of the Benshausen exchange agreement , the Halleberg part of Albrechts also came to the Suhl office in 1619. From 1660 to 1815 Albrechts belonged to the Principality of Saxony-Zeitz or Electoral Saxony and then to the Schleusingen district of the Erfurt administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony .

In the 15th century, Brauneisenstein was reported as minable ore and mining was established on site. The smelting of the ores and the manufacture of small items of metal hardware created jobs in the terrain, which is not favorable for agriculture. The guild of nail smiths was the most important branch of the trade, whose time ended with the industrial manufacture of nails from wire. The manual barch weaving , which is also suitable for women , was important in Albrechts until the introduction of machine weaving .

At the end of the 16th century there were around 250 inhabitants in Albrechts, in 1815 there were 750 and around 1950 1,400. In 1945 Albrechts became part of the district of Suhl and since April 1, 1994 it has been incorporated into the independent city of Suhl.

The church, built in 1769, is the center of the Protestant community, the building is a listed building. In the vernacular, the term “Malmers” was common for Albrechts until the 19th century (now also known as “Malmesch” or “Maumisch”).
