history

The first written mention of Birkenmoors is dated to the year 1340. The place name indicates a swampy area. At the beginning of the 14th century, birch moor was under the rule of the Hennebergers . In 1353 the place with the Coburg Land came by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged.

Until the end of the 16th century, the von Heßberg family was the owner and liege lord of the Birkenmoor manor. They were followed by the cantor Max Amling, a court official of Duke Casimir , who had also acquired the Sternbergschloss Meeder and whose family had been lords of the estate for at least 125 years. In 1618, at the beginning of the Thirty Years War , two men fit for military service lived in Birkenmoor. At the end of the war it was one.

Manor house from 1905/1910

In 1853 the Coburg Frommann brothers became the owners of the manor, which was followed by the Coburg butcher family Großmann. Tobias Großmann, owner of C. Großmann GmbH, an important company in the meat processing industry, expanded the estate and, among other things , had August Berger build a representative Art Nouveau house between 1905 and 1910 and a wind turbine on a lattice mast with a water pump around 1920. After Großmann's death, he had no offspring, a furniture manufacturer from Weitramsdorf bought the estate for his son in 1936 .

In 1868 Birkenmoor was incorporated into Meeder. In 1987 the municipality had 18 residents and 6 residential buildings.
