history

Allzunah is one of the youngest settlements on the Rennsteig. Was the origin of the place a glass factory that here at the of francs over Schleusingen leading to Ilmenau Post Road by Franz Wenzel († 1704/06) of Hanover , a representative of a known glass-making family, who was then a glassmaker journeyman in Goldlauter has been served created after he had received the concession from Duke Moritz Wilhelm von Sachsen-Zeitz on August 17, 1691. The glassworks went into operation for the first time on September 15, 1692. At first the glassworks was called Franzhütte after the founder , but the name Allzunahe Franzenhütte or Allzunah for short came about because the owners of the Stützerbach people thought the glassworks was "too close" to theirs. 1710 is the name "Glashütte zu Allzunahe" .

The glassworks was in the Schleusingen district of the Electoral Saxon part of the county of Henneberg in the area of ​​the so-called Knölles Mark in the Schmiedefelder Forest, on the right hand side of the path from Frauenwald to Stützerbach. After the Congress of Vienna, the settlement got to the circle Schleusingen the governmental district Erfurt of the Prussian province of Saxony , to which it belonged until its dissolution 1944th From 1952 to 1994 Allzunah was in the Ilmenau district ( Suhl district ).

The property of the Allzunah glassworks was divided in the 18th century. One half was bought by the son-in-law Johann Niclas (Nicolaus) Gundelach († 1748) from Franz Wenzel's widow on September 23, 1711. Gundelach tried to continue operating the glassworks, but increasingly had to defend himself against the Bohemian competition and the onset of wood shortages. Stützerbach he had built a massive house, which is now the Goethe Museum houses, as Goethe repeatedly took up his quarters at Gundelach grandchildren and great grandchildren from 1776 to 1784.

Half of Johann Niclas Gundelach's shares in the Allzunah glassworks were inherited by his six children, who in turn sold and bequeathed their shares to one another.

The second half was owned by Fritz Wenzel's son, the glass master Johann Heinrich Gottlieb Wenzel. In 1726 she had tried in vain to obtain the concession from the Schleusingen supervisor to run an inn in the Allzunah glassworks, which was no longer profitable. He later left Allzunah, became postmaster in Ilmenau and in 1759 sold his half to the co-owner Johann Daniel Gundelach, over which there were several inheritance disputes. After the death of the glass and metallurgical master Johann Daniel Gundelach († 1772) and his son Gottlob Gundelach († 1778), bankruptcy proceedings were opened against his assets. The hut was bought by the Electoral Saxon chamberlain, chief forest and game master Friedrich August von Haeseler from Schleusingen , who, however, had no interest in continuing to operate the hut. However, he had beer served in the glassworks buildings. In 1793 it is said that in the tavern in Allzunah nothing but songs. Rabble, through which some mischief in the Thuringian Forest is housed .

Haeseler died in 1796. His seven children left the disused glassworks on May 11, 1811 by means of an inheritance agreement, which they bought to their sister Henriette Charlotte von Seebach, née. von Haeseler from Marienthal near Eckartsberga . In 1822 23 people lived on the glassworks estate with its four houses.

From 1913 to 1965 Allzunah had a railway connection on the Rennsteig – Frauenwald railway line . The old embankment is now used as a footpath and bike path. The Frauenwald bunker museum is not far away .
