The Eisenach district of Fischbach is a formerly independent municipality in the area of ​​the independent city of Eisenach in Thuringia .

location

Fischbach is a street settlement east of the city center under the southern slope of the Petersberg . The eastern section of Gothaer Straße, a section of Bundesstraße 7 that was downgraded to Landesstraße 3007 in 2010, runs through the district . The Hörsel marks the southern corridor boundary. The geographic height of the place is 227  m above sea level. NN .

In the 19th century, against the will of the Fischbach farmers, the Thuringian Railway line in the Erfurt – Eisenach section was planned in the elongated corridor . Southwest was the depot Eisenach , southeast is the Rothenhof , south the plains . To the east of Fischbach, the transformer station and a garden colony were built on the former fields. The steep slope immediately behind the houses was used in the Middle Ages to grow wine and fruit; Even in the 1930s, the heights of the Fischbacher Berg and the Hammelsberg to the east were almost bare.

history

Fischbach was first mentioned in a document in the period 822–842, but this is the forerunner place - the deserted area "Alte Fischbach" - on the fixed pass of the Mosbacher Marktweg; it was probably destroyed in the Thuringian War of Succession in the 13th century. Above the valley on the Fischbacher Berg was the Malittenburg , a small complex built at the beginning of the War of Succession in 1247 and destroyed in 1261. It served as a spur castle to control the Königsstrasse, which ran close by. The walls and moats of the archaeological monument are easily recognizable. At the beginning of the Malittenburgweg, today's Fischbach Castle was built from the main courtyard of the village in the 16th century .

As a suburb of the city of Eisenach, the population of Fischbach was obliged to pay certain taxes and charges, in return the Fischbach residents were given quarters behind the Eisenach city wall in times of need . In Fischbach there were a few farms, the last Eisenach pottery, bakeries and several hostels. One of the first kindergartens in Eisenach was housed in what is now the East-End youth club building (a striking clinker brick building) at the eastern end of Gothaer Strasse. When the population of the city center grew rapidly at the end of the 19th century, Fischbach also experienced a rapid increase in population through the construction of multi-storey clinker houses. In Fischbach, as evidenced by entries in the address book in Eisenach, mainly railway workers who were employed on the railway site, which is only 400 m away, settled. To the south of Gothaer Strasse, several horticultural businesses were established on Fischbacher Weg . The gap to the core city was narrowed after the First World War by car workshops and petrol stations on Gothaer Strasse. On October 1, 1922, Fischbach was incorporated into Eisenach with a number of other places.

The most striking building in Fischbach is the Fischbacher Schlösschen ; Duke Johann Ernst von Sachsen-Eisenach had it rebuilt and expanded in 1624 for his wife Christine ; it was already used as a pub in the 18th century. In the 1980s, the Renaissance building was the seat of the Eisenach branch of the Erfurt Institute for Monument Preservation. Some rooms of the then exemplary renovated building complex were used as a cultural center for the Oststadt; Here cultural association and youth consecration events, concerts, readings and exhibitions took place. On the hillside, covered by the castle, there are a few workshops as ancillary buildings. This public use ended with the privatization of the building; the complex, which also includes a tiny park, is now visibly deteriorating.

In the local area of ​​Fischbach there are still several half-timbered houses that are listed as a historical monument opposite the Schlösschen; some of these houses are over 300 years old and some are still in a state of disrepair. With the construction of a discount market on the eastern edge of the city and a hardware store on Fischbacher Weg, the district was temporarily upgraded, and both trading companies have now relocated.

Today in Fischbach there is a bakery, a nursery with a flower shop, a farm, the car spare parts trade, the East-End youth club, a veterinarian's practice and a sports field for the BSG locomotive Eisenach.
