history

In 1378 Cabarz was first mentioned in a document as "Villa Keywers". Cabarz and Tabarz were sold to the Reinhardsbrunn monastery by the Lords of Laucha for 155 shock Freiberg groschen around 1400 .

The majority of the residents worked as forest farmers and cleared the forest areas near the settlement for the creation of fields and pastures. Agriculture was carried out on mountain slopes, partly on landscaped terraces, which can still be seen today on Nonnenberg and Tabarzer Berg below the Deysingslust forest restaurant. Mining and the charcoal burner trade were also represented. For a long time Cabarz had the greatest importance among the places in the area, as the first school and church were located there. All the inhabitants of the valley were parish and schooled here.

After the dissolution of the Reinhardsbrunn monastery in 1525, the place belonged to the ruling office of Reinhardsbrunn , which from 1640 belonged to the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha , from 1672 to the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg and from 1826 to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha . From 1920 the place was in the state of Thuringia .

Today's place Tabarz was initially called Großtabarz and was created through the incorporation of the adjacent farms, mills and places Kleintabarz and Cabarz. In the Middle Ages, at a crossroads, 500 m north of Cabarz, there was a special cave house on the Altstrasse to Fischbach and Waltershausen in the “Heilig Kreuz” corridor, it was named “Nonnenberg” because it was fortunate with forest property on the Nonnenberg.

Village church

The nameless village church in Cabarz has an eventful past. At the beginning of the 16th century, Elector Johann Friedrich the Magnanimous ordered Cabarz with the surrounding towns of Kleintabarz , Großtabarz and Nonnenberg to be parish to Langenhain . In 1536 the parish got its own pastor. Ernst I the Pious had his own parish church built in 1650. The parish of Fischbach , previously part of Schwarzhausen , was added to the parish and Andreas Erlemann was installed as the first pastor. In 1660 a new church was built for the growing parish, but it burned down on November 15, 1669. The school apartment, 16 private houses and three barns also fell victim to the fire. The cause of the fire was a fire that broke out in a barn in the village. The church chronicle contains entries about what could be saved, including the first baptism of Hermann Kohlhaas' son, which Pastor August Leonhard performed "in the open air" on November 22, 1669. From 1670 to 1673 the church was rebuilt, for which the costs of 850 guilders were borne by the individual communities. In 1713 a new organ was purchased, a wooden barrel vault and two or sometimes three gallery floors were installed. The pulpit with sound cover also dates from this period. The inauguration of the church was celebrated on August 19 and the button on the tower was put on on September 13, 1673. A new organ from the workshop of the Großtbarz organ builder Johann Valentin Knauf was installed from 1823–1825. During the First World War, like many others, the church had to give up two of its bells and the tin pipes of the organ for war purposes. During the GDR era, the roof and the tower were re-covered. After the fall of the Wall , the front of the tower and later the three other facades of the church were renewed in connection with a sponge renovation and the renovation of the interior.

The village church is now a protected cultural monument.
