geography

Eischleben is located on the Wipfra , which flows through the town from east to west and flows into the Gera shortly after it from the right . The place is about 250 meters above sea level in the southern part of the Thuringian Basin . The area around Eischleben has few forests and is characterized by fields.

history

On the Simmel, a hill south of Eischleben between the rivers Wipfra and Gera, there are graves from the Late Bronze Age , from the Middle to Late Latène Age , from the time of the Roman Empire and from the Migration Period . The repeated use of the site suggests that it was a special burial site that was used over several cultural periods. A special feature was the burial place of a woman. The skeleton was on its stomach and the head was turned up. The grave was weighed down with two large boulders.

Eischleben was first mentioned on August 30, 796 together with Gügleben in a deed of donation from the Fulda monastery . The ending -leben indicates that the town was founded in Saxony . In 1268 parts of the village belonged to the Lords of Kranichfeld , who sold a Hufe of their property there to the Ichtershausen Monastery , which already owned around 18 Hufen of land there in 1300. In 1317 Hermann von Kranichfeld left the entire village with all rights to the Ichtershausen monastery. So the village became a monastery village.

The town's baroque church was built in 1744 on the foundations of a previous Romanesque building from 1498.

Until 1920 Eischleben belonged to the Ernestine Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha , more precisely to the Wachsenburg with Ichtershausen and to the Gotha district office in the Saxon-Gotha region . Then it came to the newly founded district of Arnstadt in the also newly founded state of Thuringia . In 1994 Eischleben was incorporated into Ichtershausen to the south . Since the merger of the municipality of Ichtershausen with the Wachsenburg municipality on January 1, 2013, Eischleben has been part of the municipality of Wachsenburg.

Eischleben lost 12 fallen and missing soldiers in World War I and 36 in World War II. The war memorial from 1920 was moved from a village square to the cemetery in 1956 and weathered beyond recognition of the names and lettering. In May 2010 a new monument was inaugurated based on the old model for the fallen of the First World War, flanked by the name plaques for the dead of the Second World War.

Eischleben has a number of stately large courtyards. One of the oldest buildings is an old water mill ( location → ) on an arm of the Wipfra, the Mühlbach, which is diverted a few hundred meters east from a Wipfra weir. A local museum was housed here for a while. The grinder and the specific runs of the mill have been preserved. The water wheel is missing.

After the fall of the Wall, a new building area was built in the north of the town . A new residential area with around 20 building lots has been under construction since 2012/13.

politics

The district mayor Rüdiger Schmitt of the constituency association citizens actively was last elected on 7 June of 2009. He is a member of the Alternative for Germany .

The operator of the inn and hotel "Krone", Gudrun Münnich, was a co-founder of DEHOGA Thuringia and was re-elected its president in 2013.

Economy and Transport

Due to the very well developed infrastructure in the region, considerable industrial areas have developed in Eischleben and the surrounding villages. The town can benefit from its proximity to Erfurt , which is only about ten kilometers away. On the northern edge of the district of the village, a compressor station of the STEGAL natural gas pipeline ( Saxony-Thuringia natural gas pipeline ) was put into operation in 2006. Three gas turbines with an output of 30 MW each work there.

Eischleben is located on the former B4 ( Erfurt - Ilmenau ), which was downgraded to the L3004 in 2004. This happened analogously to the completion of the A 71 , which runs about 500 meters south of the village and connects Erfurt with Schweinfurt . About one kilometer north of Eischleben running A 4 from Frankfurt to Dresden . The high-speed line Nuremberg – Erfurt of the Deutsche Bahn is also located a little southwest of Eischleben . The Geratalbrücke Ichtershausen is located west of Eischleben . There is also a country road to Kirchheim .
