Eichelborn is a village in the rural community of Grammetal and is located southeast of Erfurt in the Weimarer Land district .
geography
The village is like the neighboring Obernissa in about 350 m u. NN. Height on the flat saddle of the northern roofing of the Ilmplatte , which extends to the Erfurt Mulde . The soils are on shell limestone and Keuper . In the immediate vicinity of the village begins a slightly hilly landscape with fields, meadows and forests and an extensive wooded area west to south, through which the A4 runs north past the village.
history
For the surrounding area, settlement is from around 4000 BC. Proven by representatives of the band ceramics culture . It was first mentioned on March 20, 1143.
Eichelborn has been under the protection of the city of Erfurt since the late Middle Ages. The place was mentioned in the Erfurt council files in the directory of the so-called Erfurt kitchen villages , which were important for the food supply of the “big city”. Erfurt bailiffs and councilors acquired their own goods in the rural communities and thus also determined the economic and social conditions in the place, often also the lower jurisdiction.
The village became a district of Mönchenholzhausen on March 14, 1974 . On December 31, 2019, Mönchenholzhausen merged with other communities to form the rural community of Grammetal.
church
The core of the building of the small village church of St. Marien von Eichelborn consists of a defiant-looking tower, which the local population also calls a defense tower. On the north side of the tower is an ogival sacraments niche.
The appearance of the church has changed significantly in the post-war period. In the 1950s / 1960s the church deteriorated increasingly. Among other things, due to the dilapidation, the original nave was almost completely demolished in the 1970s, only the outlines are still there as a low natural stone wall, which means that the original scope can still be identified. Services now take place in the rebuilt church tower (choir tower), the height of which was also reduced in the course of this renovation work and today only slightly towers over the other buildings. The hewn stones of the dismantled nave were sold by the pastor at the time.
The church is equipped with a late Gothic group of figures with a coronation of Mary and four apostles as well as a crucifix, which was made around 1420. Parts of the earlier equipment are not preserved . a. a pulpit in the rococo style, which was built in around 1780.
Thinglinde
The "Thinglinde von Eichelborn" stands by the church - a natural monument - its trunk is already deeply hollowed out. The “architecture” of the tree suggests that it served as a “dancing linden tree” at times. The approximately 17 m high tree with a trunk circumference of about 5.1 m is estimated to be 400 to 450 years old, a more precise dating by counting the annual rings is no longer possible. According to local tradition, the court square (Thing-Platz) of the Tonndorf lordship was at this location. The previous trees were thus witnesses to the administration of justice in the Middle Ages.
More Attractions
The so-called "Eichelborner Hof" existed in the village, a rural house with a characteristic arcade on the upper floor, which was built in 1771 in the village. The building was demolished because it was in disrepair and rebuilt and completely restored in the Thuringian open-air museum in the nearby village of Hohenfelden.
