history

Finds indicate a settlement of the place since the Neolithic Age. The first written mention of the place took place in 1190. In 1290 the village was owned by the family of Schenken von Döbritschen. In 1332 Döbritschen passed from the taverns of Nidda into the possession of the Counts of Weimar-Orlamünde. The former moated castle, located in the middle of the village, was a medieval manor and 45 × 80 m surrounded by a wall with a protective moat. It was destroyed in 1450. The village church has been built on the wall. The Counts of Lichtenhain followed later, later the Vitztume von Apolda and the Kapellendorf monastery. In the early 19th century, Döbritschen became a chamber property of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . In 1923, Albin Gellert cultivated the 96 hectare domain.

The district Vollradisroda is first mentioned in 1311 as "Volradesrode", the name means clearing settlement of a Vollrad. The village was destroyed in the Saxon civil war and only partially settled again after 1700. It had been the Vorwerk of the Döbritschen Chamber Estate since the 19th century. Around 1900 Vollradisroda had 38 inhabitants. On October 16, 1923, Vollradisroda was incorporated into Döbritschen.
