history
During the 19th century, Untermhaus quickly took on the appearance of a small town. In 1897 Cuba was incorporated into Untermhaus and with this in 1919 to Gera. The place name Cuba was no longer used, and the part of Untermhaus to the right of the Elster was also given the name Neu-Untermhaus . The names of the Cubaer Strasse (since 1919; previously Friedrichstrasse ) and the Cubabrücke over the Weisse Elster (since 1950; previously Elisenbrücke ) remind us of the place name Cuba .
