history

8-16 century

The Behrungen was first mentioned under the name Villa Pahringe in 795 . In the 13th century the place belonged to the county of Henneberg . During the main division of Henneberg in 1274, like the neighboring Hendungen, it came to the Henneberg - Aschach line , which later referred to itself as "Henneberg-Römhild" after the head office was moved to the neighboring Römhild .

Behrungen came to the Henneberg- Schwarza line through two inheritance divisions of the county of Henneberg-Aschach (-Römhild) in 1468 and 1532 . After their extinction, Behrungen belonged to the Counts of Henneberg - Schleusingen from 1549 . When these also died out in 1583, the " Kellerei Behrungen", as the administrative district around the place was called, came under the joint administration of the Ernestine and Albertine Wettins as part of the County of Henneberg-Schleusingen according to the Kahla Treaty of 1554 .

16. – 19. century

When the county of Henneberg was divided in 1660, the Behrungen winery came to the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg . With the extinction of the Sachsen-Altenburg line in 1672, the winery fell to the Duchy of Sachsen-Gotha , which has been called Sachsen-Gotha-Altenburg since then . This was divided in 1680, as a result of which Behrungen came to the Duchy of Saxony-Römhild . After the Sachsen-Römhild line died out again in 1710, the Behrungen winery was assigned to the Duchy of Sachsen-Hildburghausen after the inheritance disputes had ended.

As a result of the "Schalkau Exchange Agreement", the Behrungen winery was expanded to include four locations in the Meininger Unterland in 1723 and has since been referred to as " Amt Behrungen ". As a result of the reorganization of the Ernestine duchies , Behrungen fell to the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen in 1826 . Behrungen has been part of the Hildburghausen district since 1868 .

20th century to the present

In 1920 Behrungen came to the Free State of Thuringia . From 1945 to 1990 it was right on the inner-German border .

For a long time, the parish of Behrungen was an independent parish office, at times with the Mendhausen subsidiary . In 1974 the community was placed under the vacancy administration of Berkach and Bibra . The catechist now lives in the rectory of the parish of Behrungen .

Culture and sights

The German-German open-air museum is located on the nearby former inner-German border and extends over the designated monument sites of the open-air museum Behrungen and Berkach in Thuringia and Rappershausen in Bavaria.

The complete system is now a cultural monument of the Free State of Thuringia, partly an archaeological ground monument, a transnational cultural monument ensemble and recognized as a natural and environmental heritage. The commitment of the initiators has received several awards, e.
