history

It was first mentioned in 815 in a document from Hersfeld Abbey . In 1309 the people of Erfurt destroyed Andisleben Castle.

Andisleben belonged to the Vogtei Walschleben in the area of the city of Erfurt from the 15th century . Since the administrative reform of 1706 the place belonged to the office Gispersleben . In 1802 he came with the Erfurt area to Prussia and between 1807 and 1813 to the French principality of Erfurt . With the Congress of Vienna the place came back to Prussia in 1815 and in 1816 it was affiliated to the Erfurt district in the Prussian province of Saxony .

During the Second World War women and men from Poland and Ukraine (28 people) had to do forced labor in agriculture.

On April 10, 1945, German soldiers took up positions on the Hinteranger near the Andisleben cross. American artillery began shelling the place at noon . The west gable of the church and 28 houses were hit. One received a direct hit, the basement ceiling killed 5 residents. Four Wehrmacht soldiers were torn to pieces in their position beyond recognition, the others left the place in the direction of Walschleben . In the afternoon, Mayor Paul Schütz hoisted a white flag on the church tower. Then Americans moved into Andisleben. The German soldiers were buried in a common grave.

A black memorial stone in the cemetery commemorates: "The unknown Wehrmacht soldiers and the victims of the grenade bombardment of April 10, 1945". At the memorial in the center of the village "To commemorate the victims of both world wars", with name boards for the fallen from the community, there is also an additional small board with the text: "Paul Schütz 1888-1978. He saved Andisleben from destruction on April 10th 1945 ".

At the beginning of July 1945, the place, like all of Thuringia, was handed over to the Red Army by the Americans . Andisleben came to the Soviet occupation zone and in 1949 to the GDR . It went along with all the corresponding social and economic changes, of which the forced collectivization of agriculture in the 1950s to 1960 was initially the most drastic.
