history
The founding of Friedrichsbrunn goes back to a rest area on Heerstraße between Quedlinburg and Nordhausen , which has been located by a fountain since the 11th century .
In 1680, a Prussian border guards house and a Vorwerk of the Stecklenberg domain were built at this fountain, which was called "Unfaithful fountain" . At the behest of Frederick the Great, 50 families settled as colonists between 1773 and 1775. The newly created place was named Friedrichsbrunn.
The tourist development began in 1884 when the first summer visitors spent their holidays in this place. Appointed a high altitude health resort, two sanatoriums , three larger hotels and numerous smaller guest houses were built in Friedrichsbrunn before the First World War . During the world wars, the Friedrichsbrunn facilities were used as military hospitals .
In 1949 Friedrichsbrunn was named a "health resort and winter sports area". Up to 20,000 vacationers and spa patients annually recovered in this place until 1990. After the fall of the Wall, mass tourism collapsed. The place is now geared towards individual and short vacationers.
During the GDR times, the “ Bruno Tesch ” children's home was operated in the village , in which children with social indications were raised and the POS was trained up to the end of the tenth grade . After 1990, the home gave up the name of this resistance fighter and Nazi victim and now looks after children under the title “Zur Tannenspitze”. There was also the " Erich Weinert " pioneer holiday camp in the village , where West German children could experience holiday weeks thanks to the German Communist Party (DKP).
On November 23, 2009, the previously independent community of Friedrichsbrunn was incorporated into Thale.
