geography

Eichstruth

Eichstruth is located in a depression between the heights of the upper Eichsfeld, with the Eichstruther head (503.0 m) in the northeast and the northern foothills of the Gobert with the Frauenberg (411.5 m) in the south. A source arm of the Walse , the Tränktalgraben, rises in the district . The Thomasquelle is located on the border with the neighboring municipality of Mackenrode.

The state road L1003 is part of the German Fairy Tale Route and connects Eichstruth with the towns in the southern and western Eichsfeld. On the road to Mackenrode is the so-called "Victory Oak", from which one has a view over the Walsetal to the Höheberg , a landscape also known as "Eichsfeldische Schweiz".

history

Eichstruth was first mentioned in a document in 1236. The name refers to a swampy area with oak trees . From 1236 to 1849 the place was in the feudal possession of the Lords of Hanstein . From 1952 to 1989 Eichstruth was in the restricted area and was therefore affected by severe restrictions in public and private matters. In 1993 Eichstruth was the district winner in the competition: " Our village should become more beautiful ".
