history

For the first time Ellersleben, whose name is derived from the "Erlen" or "Ellern", was mentioned in a document in 1209 as Elrichsleiben . In this year a ministerial of the abbot von Hersfeld , Volcold, bought 2 Hufen land in Elrichsleiben for the monastery Heusdorf near Apolda . In 1505 Hans von Werthern acquired the court rights over Ellersleben from the Counts of Stolberg . The place belonged to the Frohndorf rule at that time . An inscription in the nave indicates that the church in Ellersleben was built in 1557 . The hall church has a square west tower with an onion dome.

Until 1815 Ellersleben belonged to the Eckartsberga office of the Electorate of Saxony . Due to the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna on November 23, 1815, Ellerleben and other southern locations of the Eckartsberga district were handed over to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . This incorporated the place in 1817 to the Buttstädt office . In a major fire in 1823, 25 farms were destroyed. In 1850 Ellersleben was ceded to the state by the Großneuhausen Patrimonial Court and thus legally belonged to the district court district of Buttstädt and administratively to the administrative district of Apolda . After the place came to the state of Thuringia in 1920, it was incorporated into the district of Weimar .

During the reign of National Socialism , some forced laborers from Poland , the former Soviet Union and today's Ukraine had to work in agriculture. In 1942, Command 416 was stationed in the hall of the village restaurant and was occupied with 30 French prisoners of war from Stalag IX C Bad Sulza. These men also had to work in agriculture.

During the administrative reform of the GDR in 1952, Ellersleben became part of the Sömmerda district , which in 1990 became the Sömmerda district.

On January 1, 2019, the Ellersleben community was merged with the other communities of the Buttstädt administrative community to form the Buttstädt rural community.
