history
Ebersdorf was first mentioned in a document dated 1401. From 1678 to 1848 the place was the residence of the Principality of Reuß-Ebersdorf .
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Christophorus was built in 1622. A previous church was mentioned as early as 1589.
Ebersdorf was particularly shaped by the settlement of the Moravian Brethren . When Zinzendorf married Erdmuthe Dorothea Countess Reuss-Ebersdorf in 1722 , members of the Moravian Brethren soon came to the Ebersdorf Palace as servants . Supported by the Reuss-Ebersdorf princes, other Moravians settled in the village. There were craftsmen, pharmacists and a goods store. On 24 August 1745, this group - now grown to about 400 brothers and sisters - to decree released into independence. With the inauguration of the church hall on October 16, 1746, it became an independent congregation that was also active in missionary and diaconal activities (nurses' home - from 1946 old people's home, children's homes - now guest house).
After the battle that took place in Saalburg on October 8, 1806, Napoleon stayed in the castle.
A memorial stone in Ebersdorf commemorates concentration camp prisoners who were murdered by SS men on a death march from Buchenwald to Flossenbürg .
The unified municipality of Ebersdorf / Thuringia was created on May 6, 1993 through the voluntary merger of the previously independent municipalities of Ebersdorf, Friesau, Röppisch, Schönbrunn and Sopoten with about 2900 inhabitants. The administrative seat was in Ebersdorf.
On January 1, 2003, Ebersdorf merged with the city of Saalburg to form the new city of Saalburg-Ebersdorf.
History Park Ebersdorf
With the expansion of the princely palace at the end of the 18th century, the park was laid out in the English style by the Dresden architect Christian Friedrich Schuricht. Land was bought up and tens of thousands of trees were planted. An orangery was first mentioned in 1731. The current orangery building was built in 1790.
In addition to collections of exotic plants, numerous animals ( menageries ) were kept in the princely parks and gardens . There was also a pheasant farm in the early 19th century, probably near the paw pond. Ernst Barlach created a tomb for the Reuss family in the park; it is the only outdoor sculpture by the artist in Thuringia. The landscape park is a protected cultural monument of the Free State of Thuringia.
