Andenhausen ( Rhöner Platt : Andehuuse) is a district of the city of Kaltennordheim in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district in Thuringia (Germany).
geography
Andenhausen is located in the southern part of the Thuringian Rhön . In relation to the number of inhabitants, the place is the third smallest and in terms of area the smallest district of the city of Kaltennordheim after Aschenhausen and Melpers . Andenhausen forms the north-western part of the city and borders on the Hessian Tann (Rhön) .
Above Andenhausen is the 628 m high Katzenstein with the mountain hotel of the same name. It is the highest place in the Schmerbachtal .
history
The village was first mentioned in a document in 1185. At that time it was a Fulcrum property. From 1274 to 1583 Andenhausen belonged to the county of Henneberg ( Amt Fischberg ), the sovereigns initiated the introduction of the Reformation . In the place, the Lords of the Tann appointed landlords and court lords . The Evangelical Church of Andenhausen was built in 1757, it belonged as a branch to the parish Fischbach / Rhön .
Because of the harsh climatic conditions, the farmers often had to reckon with great hardship, storms and poor harvests regularly led to famine, and Andenhausen was also a center of witch hunts .
During the Thirty Years' War , the Croats Isolanis plundered the defenseless population of the Rhön several times, and Andenhausen was mostly spared. With the extinction of the Hennebergs in 1583, extensive disputes about some parts of the Vorderrhön, which only came to an end in 1764, relaxed between the heirs, the Saxon dukes and the prince abbey of Fulda. After the dissolution of the secular rule of Fulda in 1802 and as a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15, the borders between Thuringia, Hesse and Bavaria were established. In addition to the former Henneberg offices of Kaltennordheim and Lichtenberg, the former Fulda offices of Fischberg and Geisa and the previously Hessian office of Vacha also belonged to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach .
In 1879, based on the census of 1875, statistical information on the location was published. Andenhausen had 53 houses with 287 inhabitants that year. The size of the field was 148.2 ha of which farms and gardens 5.3 ha, meadows 41.8 ha, arable land 69.9 ha. Forest 3.7 ha, ponds, streams and rivers 0.02 ha, on paths, drifts , Wasteland and orchards accounted for 22.2 hectares. The village had livestock of one horse, 129 cattle, 81 sheep, 40 goats and 19 pigs. A description of the office already reported in 1712: The village has 12 houses; Because of the stony area, the field is quite arid and poor, the meadows mostly not at their best. The majority of the residents worked as basket makers, dumpers, clog makers and scissors grinders. The Lattenmühle also belonged to the place .
In the 1930s, the National Socialists tried to gain influence in the Rhön as well. The Thuringian state government was commissioned to alleviate the plight of the population through job creation projects. With great propaganda effort, housing estates were built, access roads and dirt roads expanded, fields stoned and forests reforested. The Burggasthof am Katzenstein was built as a training center in 1937 as a widely visible testimony. In the immediate vicinity, the castle farm on Katzenstein was built in 1936 to supply the hotel with food and a technical school for traditional carving craft was built in the neighboring village of Empfertshausen.
After the Second World War , Andenhausen was a border municipality in the restricted area of the inner German border until 1989 and could only be reached with a pass. Border fortifications were built around the place. The Hotel am Katzenstein was confiscated by the GDR government and used as a vacation home for the government. In 1955 there were 318 inhabitants. In 2013 Andenhausen was incorporated into Kaltennordheim, and the Oberes Feldatal administrative community was dissolved at the same time.
As part of the Thuringia regional reform in 2018 and 2019 , the city of Kaltennordheim sought to incorporate the neighboring communities to the south of Aschenhausen , Kaltensundheim , Kaltenwestheim , Melpers , Oberkatz and Unterweid on January 1, 2019 and accepted a move from the Wartburg district to the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district , which was implemented with the entry into force of the Second Act on the Voluntary Reorganization of Municipalities belonging to the District on January 1, 2019.
There was considerable resistance to the district change in the districts of Andenhausen and Fischbach, and the district council authorized the district mayor to hold talks for the separation of Andenhausen from Kaltennordheim and a connection to Dermbach with the aim of remaining in the Wartburg district . As part of the local elections in Thuringia 2019 , a citizens' survey on this topic took place on May 26, 2019. 151 eligible voters spoke out in favor of a return to the Wartburg district and three in favor of remaining in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district.
