location

The district is located in the northwest of the core community on the federal highway 88 and the Erfurt-Eisenach railway line in the Hörsel valley . The southern boundary to the district of Mosbach runs over the northeastern part of the Kohlberg ( 408.5  m above sea level ) , the eastern border follows (approximately) the Mosbacher Straße to the confluence with the Eisenacher Straße , cuts the Hörseltal and extends to the north the western slope of the Kleiner Hörselberg ( 436.2  m above sea level ). About the Kirchtal the boundary jumps to the former motorway wutha-farnroda and the access road downhill runs west. The western boundary, which has been shifted several times in favor of Eisenach , leads over the valley floodplain with Steinacker and Am Großen Rain back up to the Kohlberg . The terrain is largely flat and is used for agriculture. The rocky steep slope of the Kleiner Hörselberg with its distinctive cliffs has been used as a vineyard since the late Middle Ages, and there were also several limestone quarries here. The floodplain of the Hörsel, which has existed since the end of the last Ice Age, has predominantly stony soils, with fields and pastures on the gentle slopes of the Kohlberg and around the Kirchtal . The geographical height of the district is 240  m above sea level. HN .

On the Hörsel between Eichrodt and the Rothenhof.

Location and extent of Eichrodt and Wutha around 1850

Eichrodt was first mentioned in 1349:

In the year of the Lord in 1349 Friedrich and Helmrecht von Farnroda and Ticzko, their uncle, received the Farnroda Castle with all its affiliations, as well as the village of Wutha and its affiliations, as well as the village of Eichrodt; ... also all goods in Witingervelt ...

The area east of the city of Eisenach was already subject to interest payments to the Nikolaikloster in Eisenach around 1200 . The division of offices made by the Thuringian landgraves was the basis of the state administration for centuries. Eichrodt and Wutha therefore belonged to the small dominion of Farnroda . In 1461 the burgraves of Kirchberg acquired the rule of Farnroda, the Farnroda knights were no longer able to meet their financial obligations and had to give up their home country. With the death of the Kirchbergers and the return of their feudal rights to the rulership, administrative reforms could be introduced that favored the amalgamation of the two places Wutha and Eichrodt. Eichrodt and Wutha were assigned to Eisenach Administrative District III . After the First World War , the former residence town of Eisenach developed into an industrial city, the city administration tried to enlarge the urban area and applied for the incorporation of neighboring villages. On October 1, 1922, the municipalities of Eichrodt, Wutha and other places were incorporated into Eisenach, but were removed again on September 30, 1924. As a result of this administrative reform, the new place Wutha / Thuringia with the districts Eichrodt and Wutha was created. In 1987 this was merged with Farnroda to form the municipality of Wutha-Farnroda.

A special feature was the allocation to the parish parishes: the Eichrodter were probably parished to Großenlupnitz even before the Nikolaikloster was founded, the path leading through the church valley on the western edge of the Hörselberg to Großenlupnitz is reminiscent of this incident . After the Reformation , the Eichrodter population was given to the parish in Farnroda.

The Via Regia road going east in Eisenach, at Nikolaitor, is largely identical to Eichrodter Weg with its southern section, which also touches the Rotenhof . This northern section of the route led over the former Köpping Bridge through the former village of Fischbach near Eisenach and moved at the foot of the Hörselberge over the Wuthaer Weinbergstrasse , Kahlenberg and Kälberfeld to Sättelstädt . There were already cross connections between the two routes in the 14th century: at the Eichrodter Hörselfurt, at the Rothenhof, at the Rehhof, in Schönau and in Kälberfeld. The few houses in the Kirchtal and along the Weinbergstrasse were not built until the late 19th century. Eichrodt was more strongly promoted by long-distance traffic than Wutha; in 1685 it received a first wooden bridge on the eastern edge of the village, which was hardly used because of the bridge money and the nearby ford. The second bridge in Eichrodt was built in 1731 right next to the ford. With the construction of the Thuringian Railway in 1847, the town received a railway connection that was built in Wutha, just under two kilometers to the east.

Each domain in the Duchy of Saxony-Eisenach had a village order in which the court, school and church rules were laid down. In the Kirchberg area, this was drawn up in 1747 by HF Havemann . The village school teacher Karl Hahnelt , who was appointed to Eichrodt and Wutha around 1900, was the first local chronicle of Wutha; the focus of his treatise on local history is the development of school conditions (supplemented and updated by his successors in office)

• In 1770 the first school regulations for the lower schools in the Principality of Eisenach were enacted, regulating school attendance, salaries and the curriculum.
• In 1779, all students living in the Farnroda estate were obliged to attend the Farnroda school; only the village of Seebach was allowed to maintain its own school house.

• In 1858 the first school building was built in Eichrodt, required by the population growth in the towns of Eichrodt and Wutha. Classes took place in one room for all 8 classes at the same time. At today's Hörselbrücke, opposite the school, a gymnasium was created.
• In 1871 the mayor Christian Röber ordered the construction of a second school building on the height , the teaching conditions improved with the employment of more teachers.
• In 1928 and 1936, additional classrooms were added to the schoolhouse.
• After the Second World War , the school districts in the Eisenach district were restructured.
• The generously designed school on Eisenacher Strasse was inaugurated in 1952 and later served as a polytechnic secondary school in Farnroda, Mosbach, Hastrungsfeld , Burla , Sättelstädt, Sondra , Kälberfeld and Kahlenberg . In the 1973/74 school year, 463 students attended this school, and elementary school lessons were still taking place in the old village school in Eichrodt. There were close relationships with the neighboring VEB Petkus Wutha , the company supported the school with work opportunities during the holiday season, and a school fire brigade was trained by the plant fire brigade .
• In 1980 the Polytechnic High School was renamed the Ferdinand Heitzmann School .
• In 1987, school operations were outsourced to the Polytechnische Oberschule, which was newly built in the Mölmen residential area, the old village school was later used as a club building, and a kindergarten and then a driving school were set up briefly in the Heitzmann School.

The district of Eichrodt still has its original, village character. The townscape is characterized by half-timbered houses and farmsteads, around 50 single-family houses in solid construction have been built on Weinbergstrasse and parallel to the railway since 1900. To ward off the risk of flooding, the part of the settlement on the right bank of the Hörsel was secured with a dike at the end of 1990, and the Hörsel Bridge was then replaced by a new building. A large barn at the northern entrance to the village, built around 1900, was removed when the railway overpass and the motorway connection were built, and a dilapidated homestead opposite the old village school fell victim to the pickaxe around 2005.
