Cumbach is a district of the city of Friedrichroda in the Gotha district in Thuringia .
Geography and traffic
Cumbach is located at the transition from the Thuringian Basin to the Thuringian Forest , about ten kilometers southwest of Gotha, five kilometers southeast of Waltershausen and five kilometers northeast of Friedrichroda. The village is originally a clustered village and lies on the Cumbach , a tributary of the Leina, at an altitude of about 330 meters. The town hall is not forested and is used for agriculture. It is dominated by the Cumbach ponds , which were probably created in the Middle Ages to supply the Reinhardsbrunn monastery with fish. The ponds are 500 m southwest of the village.
From Cumbach, roads lead to the Waltershausen district of Schnepfenthal in the west, to Ernstroda in the south and to Wahlwinkel and Leina in the north, where there is a connection to the federal motorway 4 . Wide neighboring villages are Gospiteroda and Wipperoda in the east.
history
Cumbach was first mentioned in a document on February 3, 1216. When it was founded, the village was in one of the Ludowingers ' centers of power , whose place of origin was in the immediate vicinity of the Reinhardsbrunn monastery . Later, especially under the Wettins who followed the Ludowingers , the center of rulership shifted more to Gotha.
After the dissolution of the Reinhardsbrunn monastery in 1525, the place belonged to the ruling office of Reinhardsbrunn , which from 1640 to the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha , from 1672 to the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg and from 1826 until the end of the monarchy in Germany to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and belonged to Gotha . From 1920 the place was in the state of Thuringia . From July 1, 1950, Cumbach belonged to the municipality of Ernstroda , which in turn was incorporated into the city of Friedrichroda in 2007 .
Attractions
- For nature lovers, the Cumbach ponds , which have always been used for fish farming, are worth seeing.
- The small Protestant village church of Cumbach originates from the last quarter of the 12th century. Further building changes date from the 16th and 17th, when the interior was newly plastered and enlarged in 1689. At that time the church received its galleries and the so-called "women's chairs" that have been preserved to this day. The pulpit and the barrel vault also date from this period. In 1719 the church received a new organ. A comprehensive renovation took place at the end of the 18th century. a. 1783 Stalls and galleries were marbled white and blue and were given gilded profiles. Particularly noteworthy are a preserved wooden Romanesque window frame and very carefully worked stone, which a stonemason from a construction works probably had in his workshop. The Cumbach citizen and organ builder Georg Franz Ratzmann built a new organ around 1820, for which a very high and valuable original substance is shown to this day.
- The church is a protected cultural monument.
