history

Until the founding of the state of Thuringia, Collis belonged to the Principality of Reuss younger line . Archaeological finds suggest that the area was settled as early as the Ice Age. In 1827 a barrow from the Bronze Age was discovered in the area, and in 1914 a Slavic grave with 14 bones. Iron slag found in the site during excavations suggests that an early metal melt was located here. The first permanent settlement is likely to have arisen around 1200, on June 2, 1293 a Friedericus de Culs is mentioned as a witness in a document from Heinrich the Younger of Weida. This family was probably the owner of a knight residence in Collis, after which the place was named. For 1388 and 1413 Collis is certified as belonging to the knight seat Thränitz. In 1490 it was sold to the von Uttenhofen family by Hans von der Phorten (Pforten) . Later he came to Kaimberg, in 1681 back to the Knights at Pforten. At this time, the Collis farmers were on the job of the feudal lords of Kaimberg.

In 1827 the place had 17 houses and 90 inhabitants. The parish and school location for Collis was Thränitz, in 1971 Pforten became the school location responsible.

The route of the Gera-Gößnitzer Bahn , which opened in 1865, is also supposed to lead via Colliser Grund, so that in 1864 there is a lawsuit over the expropriation of land in the Collis district.

In 1912 a water pipeline was built and electrification began in 1919.

On July 1, 1950, Collis was incorporated into the community of Thränitz and reclassified together with her on July 1, 1994 to Gera.

A cattle fattening facility built in GDR times is still operated today by the Kauern agricultural cooperative from neighboring Kauern ( Greiz district ).
