Barchfeld is a district of the town of Kranichfeld in the Weimarer Land district in the Middle Ilm Valley , Thuringia . Barchfeld ad Ilm was an independent municipality until 1994 . Barchfeld has around 100 residents.
geography
Barchfeld lies on the right bank of the Ilm on a slope rising to the east ( Ilm-Saale-Platte ).
history
Barchfeld is one of the oldest places in the region, and it was first mentioned in a document as early as the 9th century (property register of the Reichsabtei Fulda ). Prehistoric finds point to much older settlement sites at this point. An old village seal showed a crouched crane . The place name originally means pig pasture ('barg': cut boar ). Today, cattle dominate, which in the black and white version create an idyllic picture on the slopes and meadows around the place.
The village, which belonged to the Kranichfelder Oberherrschaft (Sachsen-Meiningen) until 1919 , once had its own brewery (with a bar) and later a regionally important malt house. On January 1, 1976, the former municipality of Stedten / Ilmtal was incorporated into the municipality of Barchfeld ad Ilm , which in turn was incorporated into the city of Kranichfeld on April 9, 1994.
Religions
In Barchfeld there is a small Lutheran community with its own church ( St. Stephen and St. Cyriac ) that by 2013 the rectory Dienstedt belonged and now the parish Kranichfeld belongs.

Culture and sights
Buildings
Within the village you will find some lavishly restored farmhouses , some of which have been faithfully restored . A village well near the church provides drinking water that many locals use for cooking (because of the hard tap water). The church of St. Stephan and St. Cyriakus (13th century; Protestant, to the parish office Dienstedt ) was built as a natural stone building during the renovation in 1914, inside of which a winged altar from 1510 is remarkable.
Despite its small size, Barchfeld has two cemeteries. The old cemetery at the church is no longer used for new burials, but has a few well-tended grave sites and several overgrown graves that exert their own romantic charm. The new cemetery is on the left in the direction of Stedten on the slope.
The townscape of Barchfeld is shaped by the old malt house . Good quality barley malt was produced here until the 1970s, and was supplied to numerous breweries (including Singen, Saalfeld and Königsee). After that, the imposing industrial monument was only used as a warehouse by the Bäuerliche Handelsgenossenschaft (BHG) Kranichfeld and, after the fall of the Wall, was taken over by the Mühl company, which left the site fallow. No investment was made in the building, so the structure fell into disrepair. In autumn 2006 the "old malt house" changed hands.
