history

Dörfles was first mentioned in 1317 as "dorfelin" in the Urbarium , a list of possessions of the Henneberger when the New Rulership was acquired. It was originally an external property of the Lauter estate . Later the place became an independent manor with a manor that was later divided. An upper and a lower courtyard was created. The Flur Dörfles covered 150 hectares and was fiefdom of the Saalfeld monastery , the parish of Lauter and the sovereign. Dörfles belonged to the parish Unterlauter and to the center Lauter as well as to the office of Coburg.

Feudal lords were von Heßberg , von Bach and the Coburg family Esbacher. From the 16th century on, the feudal lords came mainly from Coburg, where they were in the service of the ducal court or where they often held councilor and mayor positions in the city.

Before the Thirty Years War the place had 32 inhabitants. After the war, two of the five farms and two Sölden were still inhabited. In 1783 there were 52 residents and 12 houses in Dörfles. In 1871 there were 16 houses with 135 inhabitants.

In 1850 the estate Neudörfles with 65 hectares was incorporated and in 1976 Coburg was added.

For many centuries, village readers went to church and school in Unterlauter. In 1899 the town got its own school, a brick building that was extended in 1906 for a second class. A twelve-class school building was built in 1963/64. In 1968, the municipal administration moved into the old schoolhouse.

In the First World War fell six Dörfleser soldiers. In the Reichstag election in July 1932 , the SPD received 165, the NSDAP 82 and the KPD 31 votes. Between 1935 and 1938 the Hindenburg barracks and the neighboring Passchendaele barracks were built on Dörfleser Flur , whereby the area of ​​the western Hindenburg barracks was incorporated into Coburg in 1937.

The US troops entered Dörfles on April 10, 1945 at around 11 a.m. From 1946, refugees and displaced persons were housed in the Passchendaele barracks. In 1949, the team and farm buildings were converted into 228 makeshift apartments with 1200 residents. In 1946 a stop was built at the Dörfles block on the Coburg-Sonneberg railway line. In 1949 the Coburg cardboard factory was founded as a major industrial company.
