Bollstedt is a district of the city of Mühlhausen / Thuringia located on the left bank of the Unstrut (river kilometer 28) in the Unstrut-Hainich district in northwest Thuringia .
geography
location
The place is located in the up to two kilometers wide Unstrutaue between Mühlhausen / Thuringia and Bad Langensalza and is embedded in the flat rolling hills of Central Thuringia . The lowest point of the place is at 182 m above sea level in the Unstruttal, the highest at 249 m above sea level on the vineyard in the north. The location is limited in the west by the straightened and on both sides dammed Unstrut and is hardly visible because the dam base is planted with a dense row of pyramid poplars .
geography
Forest is only found on the Breiten Berg or the neighboring Wachkuppe, where in the late 19th century shafts were reforested with conifers.
The geology of the Unstrutaue is shaped by Auelehmen. The hills Weinberg in the north, Breiter Berg in the east and Roter Berg in the southeast are characterized by the clays, marls and sandstones of the Middle Keuper , on which several meters of boulder clay and loess are deposited.
history
The place Bollstedt was first mentioned in 876 AD. On June 4, 1300, Landgrave Friedrich zu Thuringia sold the village together with Grabe and Höngeda to the Free and Imperial City of Mühlhausen . In 1565 there was a population of 88 in Bollstedt.
In 1802 Bollstedt fell together with Mühlhausen to the Kingdom of Prussia , from 1807 to 1813 to the Kingdom of Westphalia ( Canton Dachrieden ) created by Napoleon , and after the Congress of Vienna in 1816 it was assigned to the district of Mühlhausen in the Prussian province of Saxony .
On June 30, 1994, Bollstedt became part of the newly created community of Weinbergen . Since January 1, 2019, it has been a district of this city through the accession of the municipality of Weinbergen to the city of Mühlhausen.

The last renovation of the church took place in 2001 with the support of the German Foundation for Monument Protection . The Bollstedt parish today belongs to the Mühlhausen parish in the Evangelical Church of Central Germany .

Numerous farms are grouped around the village green in the east, a wide, elongated street, and the church green in the west. The houses are mostly plastered half-timbered buildings. In the south there is a street with small farmhouses - the so-called New Village . The location was enlarged by new buildings, mostly single-family houses in the north and northeast. The municipal administration and a sports field were also built there. The new cemetery is in the extreme northeast of the village.
Landmarks
