Dorndorf is a district of Uhlstädt-Kirchhasel in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district in Thuringia .

history

The place is mentioned as Dorendorf in 1083 in the deed of donation from Archbishop Siegfried of Mainz .

There are three variants for the origin of the village name

1. a settlement that points to a man named Dor ,
2. the thorny blackberry bushes that grow around the village, or
3. based on the Germanic god Thor .

Dorndorf was an official village, also a wine-growing village, the place had a large wine press , which gave the local church half of the yield. Vineyards were found here in the 15th and 16th centuries in the following fields: Teufelsberg, Fuchsberg, Angerhügel, Weidenberg, Baumgarten, Hain, an der Obermühle, Flederwisch, Borntal, Hundsrück and Maidental. A place seal has been known since 1674. It shows a church in several versions, next to it a flower with three blossoms. The seal used today, which has been in use since 1949, shows a stylized bridge.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community of Rödelwitz was incorporated. On December 1, 1990, Rödelwitz was hived off to become an independent municipality.

From 1991 to 2002 the place belonged to the administrative community Uhlstädt . When this was dissolved on July 1, 2002, Dorndorf formed the new municipality of Uhlstädt-Kirchhasel with ten other municipalities.
