history
The place name is probably derived from the fact that Angelroda was once founded by the Germanic anglers . The ending -roda is very common in Thuringia and describes a cleared area.
The place was first mentioned on March 27, 948 in a document from King Otto I to the Hersfeld Abbey as fishing rod . The abbey receives the village in exchange for Wormsleben im Mansfeld . This document is now kept in the Hessian State Archives in Marburg . An aristocratic family existed in Angelroda in the 13th and 14th centuries. She named herself after the place "von Angelrode" and owned land in the area.
In 1651 the noble von Witzleben family bought the village from the Counts of Schwarzburg . Her descendants lived in the Angelrodaer Schloss until 1946. The church, which dates back to when the town was founded, was expanded to its present form in 1696. The Angelrodas fire brigade was founded in 1717, but a fire broke out in 1781 in which 31 houses were destroyed. In the 18th century there were ten lemon traders and carters in Angelroda who transported Thuringian goods to northern Germany and from there a. a. Bringing lemons, flax and herrings . The cemetery was rebuilt in 1847.
In Angelroda there was a manor that was owned by the von Witzleben family from 1651 to 1945. The manor had a size of approx. 160 hectares. The Angelroda manor also included a small manor in Martinroda and the manor in Dornheim was also owned by the family. All three properties, together just over 400 hectares in size, were expropriated in 1945.
Until 1920 Angelroda was an exclave belonging to the Stadtilm office ( Schwarzburg-Rudolstädter Oberherrschaft ) in the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt . From 1920 to 1952 the place belonged to the district of Arnstadt . The district was divided in 1952 and Angelroda was henceforth part of the smaller Arnstadt district in the Erfurt district . From 1951 to 1953 the later Thuringian Evangelical Bishop Werner Leich was vicar in Angelroda. In 1994 the Ilmenau and Arnstadt districts were reunited under the name Ilm District.
On December 31, 2019, the Angelroda community was incorporated into the Martinroda community.

Culture and sights
The origins of the Angelroda village church probably go back to the 12th century, from which the base of the bell tower comes. This “tower chamber” can be seen as a small chapel. From here the church was further expanded or expanded. The tower entrance has Gothic features and heralds a renovation around 1500. The three-sided gallery and the pulpit altar of the church were built in 1796. Various historical tombs have been preserved near the church and in the adjacent cemetery, including several tombs of members of the von Witzleben family and the ornate tomb of a lemon merchant with a relief representation of the deceased.
From Castle Angelroda only still farm buildings and parks are preserved. The representative castle was built by Colonel Burkhart Hieronymus Russwurm between 1614 and 1618, and from 1651 it was owned by the von Witzleben family. Two half-timbered upper floors lay over a massive ground floor. The high roof had two transverse gables. The front was broken through by an octagonal tower with a tailed dome, the individual floors of the house could only be entered through it. The library and family archive can be reached through the large reception hall on the ground floor. The emperor's hall on the first floor was a real gem with numerous ancestral portraits of the von Witzleben family. The last lord of the castle was General Friedrich Karl von Witzleben , who was expelled from his estate in February 1946. In 1947 the intact castle, which had defined the townscape for 330 years, was looted and demolished. The basis was Order 209 of the Soviet occupying power . Only the park area, the estate manager's house (today's community seat), the farm building (local history museum since 1998) and a horse stable (converted into a community center) have been preserved and were renovated in the 1990s. After being neglected, the von Witzleben family's crypt next to the church was also filled in at the end of the 1960s. In the former farm building and in the Heimatstube set up there for the 1050th anniversary in 1998, historical pictures, plans and household items from the last centuries are on display. You can also see articles of daily use from craftsmen who were formerly resident in the village, e.g. B. Utensils of a glass blower and a cooper .
The 26.5 meter high and 100.4 meter long Angelrodaer railway viaduct belongs to the single-track railway line Arnstadt-Ilmenau and spans the valley of the Zahmer Gera . It was inaugurated on August 6, 1879. At that time, the line passed through four countries ( Schwarzburg-Sondershausen , Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt , Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Saxe-Weimar ), so that on December 19, 1876, a state treaty was signed ( a fifth contractual partner was Prussia, which had sovereign rights over Erfurt, among others, since 1806. Most of the railways in Thuringia in the 19th century were operated by Prussia from around 1885). The viaduct is a resting on two pillars steel truss bridge whose dams are covered terraced with ashlar. The steel pillars of the bridge were set in concrete in 1904 to achieve greater load-bearing capacity. To the southeast of the bridge there is a rock breakthrough up to 20 meters deep. Further information on the bridge and the history of the railway line can be found in the main article Plaue – Themar railway line .
