history

Information board about the history of the settlement Burgrabis of the association "Geschichtskonferenz Schlöben eV"

In the High Middle Ages there were two castles between Lobeda and Drackendorf , to which the castle complex in the town of Lobeda was counted as the third fortification on the Altstraße.

In relation to the so-called Upper Lobdeburg , the Burgrabi's Vorwerk also stood as a farmyard. Until the beginning of the 14th century, the lords of Lobdeburg exercised control over this part of the Saale valley south of Jena in their ancestral castle of the same name. They were temporarily owned by the castles Leuchtenburg, Arnshauck, Burgau and Elsterberg and had a fortified castle seat in the city of Jena. The rule went down in the Lobdeburg feud (1295-1316), most of the possessions and rights had to be sold for the recruitment of mercenaries.

The Obere Lobdeburg was mentioned in 1320 as a robber barons nest, the successors of the Lobdeburgers had made the old streets around Jena unsafe from there. A report from the cathedral chapter of Naumburg describes the tribulations of the parishes belonging to the Naumburg Sprengel, which were often visited by the robber knights.

In 1358 the Lobdeburg fell to the Landgraves of Thuringia, they drove out the robber barons with their superior military power, the Obere Lobdeburg is said to have been completely destroyed during these battles.

Based on the Altenburg division , the Lobdeburg castle district was incorporated into the Burgau district. In 1465 the landgrave followers Nikolaus and Hans Puster received the Lobdeburg and the associated castle district as a fief. They come from the town of Gernewitz and owned the towns of Drackendorf and Podelsatz as early as the 13th century . But at this time the Lobdeburg was still inhabited by Hans von Gräfendorf , who now had to manage and protect this property of the Pusters. In 1481 the Puster brothers bought the missing possessions, rights and titles of the Lobdeburg from the Gräfendorfer who had got into financial difficulties. The Puster family remained owners until 1591 and sold their Lobdeburg possessions and rights to the Chancellor of the Duke of Saxe-Weimar von Gerstenbergk . After 1600 he had transferred to the service of the Duke of Saxony-Altenburg and tried successfully to bring the lands he still had in the state territory of Saxony-Weimar, including the Lobdeburg property, to Saxony-Altenburg by swapping territory. The delusions of the border course with regard to the Lobdeburg and Drackendorfer districts existed until 1833 and were settled with a state treaty which determined this area as belonging to Saxony-Altenburg.

In 1886 it is recorded in the Chronicle of Schlöben that the “Luftschiff” inn belongs to Rabis and that it consists of a complex of three farms on the Wöllmisse. Remnants of the fountain and wall are still remnants of the inn, which was demolished around 1970, and a tall summer linden tree marks its location. After 1945 another attempt was made to build two farms on the Wöllmisse. In the 1970s and 1980s, the remaining buildings were uninhabited and fell into disrepair. Currently (June 2015) at least two of four buildings are inhabited; The street "Luftschiff" with house numbers 1 and 3 is included in the geoportal of the state of Thuringia.

The "Luftschiff" settlement is not identical to the Drackendorf suburb, which is deserted today .
