geography

Drossenhausen is about eight kilometers north-west of Coburg on the southern slope of the Long Mountains on the Hochstraße that connects Ottowind with Moggenbrunn . Other communal roads lead to Tiefenlauter and Meeder . To the east of Drossenhausen lies the federal motorway 73 , where the “Lange Berge” gas station and rest area is to be built. In the Drossenhauser Flur, sinkholes , cracks in the shell limestone like the Donnerloch from 1779, are remarkable.

history

Drossenhausen was first mentioned in 1317 as "Drosenhusen" in the Urbarium , a list of possessions of the Hennebergers when they acquired the New Rulership.

At the beginning of the 14th century, Drossenhausen was under the control of the County of Henneberg . In 1353 the place with the Coburg Land came by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged.

As a result of troops moving through and billeting, Drossenhausen also suffered in the Thirty Years' War . According to a report on the condition of the villages in the Coburg Office from May 1636, there were “four men still alive” in Drossenhausen who were looking for their food in Thuringia. Most of the 14 houses in the village were desolate.

In the second half of the 19th century it was merged with the neighboring hamlet of Einzelberg . In a referendum on November 30, 1919, 8 Drossenhausen citizens voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 68 against. Thus, from July 1, 1920, Drossenhausen also belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .

In 1963, a treasure trove of 136 silver coins was found while working on a pipe trench. This was probably buried by a local during the Thirty Years War.

On July 1, 1971 Drossenhausen became a part of the municipality of Meeder. In 1987 the community part had 107 inhabitants and 23 houses.
