Gamstädt is a district of the rural community Nesse-Apfelstädt in the Thuringian district of Gotha .
geography
Gamstädt is located west of the Thuringian capital Erfurt in the center of the Thuringian Basin . Neighboring places are the Erfurt districts of Ermstedt in the north and Frienstedt in the east, the former Gamstadt district of Kleinrettbach in the south, Grabsleben in the west and Nottleben in the north-west. The district has fertile soils, there are no larger elevations or depressions, and there is no running water.
history
The place Gamstädt was first mentioned as Gamminstete in a deed of 1275. Later place names were Gammenstedt and Gambstett .
The village of Gamstädt belonged to the Landgraviate of Thuringia, later to the Counts of Gleichen . A Theodoricus von Gammenstedt is mentioned in a Georgenthal document from 1291 . Afterwards the Lords of Vanre ( Fahner ) bought goods here. In 1333 the lords of Wechmar sold the usage fees ( interest ) from their goods in Gamstädt, Grabsleben and Cobstädt to the Peterskloster in Erfurt . Heinrich and Otto von Vanre donated several goods located in Gamstädt to the Kreuzkloster in Gotha in 1337. The quoted source reports that there is said to have been a village called Hattstedt between Gamstädt and Nottleben , of which only the Hattstedter Rieth , a swampy area, remains. Today a pond as the headwaters of a brook that flows into the Nesse between Nottleben (field name Flattich ) and Ermstedt (field name Kuhried ) still testifies to this .
The place was in the office of Gotha , which had belonged to the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha since 1640, to the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg since 1672 and to the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg and Gotha since 1826 . Gamstädt has been ravaged by fires several times , for example on July 5, 1595, March 28, 1603 and October 12, 1826.
Of the 346 residents before the Thirty Years' War , only 95 lived in 1638, of 58 houses only 27 were still habitable, there were only 13 of 32 horses, 4 of 64 cows, none of the 340 sheep and 53 pigs survived the war. In 1640 the Swedish general Johan Banér was marching through his army from Saalfeld / Saale to Hesse and had the village plundered. The (now closed) tavern ("Weimarischer Hof") in Gamstädt, located on Hohen Strasse ( via regia ), housed King Friedrich of Prussia during the Seven Years' War in 1757 .
In addition to grain, hemp and anise were grown as special crops on the fertile soil of the Gamstädter Flur . A street called "Hanfsack" is reminiscent of this in the neighboring town of Frienstedt . In April 1945 the place was occupied by American troops, which were relieved by the Red Army in early July . The further fate of the place was shaped by belonging to the Soviet Zone and GDR . This also included the forced collectivization in the agricultural village.
On December 1, 2009, Gamstädt was incorporated into the newly established municipality of Nesse-Apfelstädt on the same date . The district of Kleinrettbach belonged to the municipality of Gamstädt until it was dissolved .
With the resignation of the responsible pastor Michael Göring from Ingersleben and after the dissolution of the parish office Ingersleben, the district synod of the church district Gotha decided to assign the parish of Gamstädt to the parish office of Seebergen .

Coat of arms and seal
The coat of arms was designed by the Erfurt heraldist Frank Jung and approved on January 14, 1998.
- Blazon : “In blue above a slanted golden viol, crossed by a golden bow; including three silver wave threads. "
In the formerly independent communities of Kleinrettbach and Gamstädt, their own seals were kept until 1952. The seal of the community of Kleinrettbach showed the perspective representation of the Siebgenquelle, which served as a water supply for decades; the name Rettbach was derived from Rieth- or Rutibach, the brook rises from the Siebgenquelle. In the seal of the municipality of Gamstädt, the gamba was depicted with a crossed bow; this representation associates the place name. The coat of arms adopts the old seal symbols and thus refers to the two places; the blue tinging indicates the woad cultivation in this area.
Culture and sights
Buildings
- The listed Sankt Michael Church is located in the center of the village. Old grave slabs lean against the outer wall. There is a war memorial by the church , it commemorates the ten fallen of the community in the First World War .
- On the eastern boundary of the district, which once represented the border between the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg and Gotha and the Kingdom of Prussia and today that between the district of Gotha and the city of Erfurt, you can see a border eagle in the curve of the south side of the B7 federal road , a 1 , 50 m high sandstone, once with a Prussian eagle. Opposite it on the other side of the street is the "Zollhaus", which previously served as a customs post and now houses a commercial enterprise. It functioned as a border and post station together with a no longer existing building that stood on the south side of the street, as can be seen from old maps.
- The Gleichenhof - on the much-used Erfurter Straße (also Poststraße and via regia ) there were rest houses and hostels, including the nearby Gleichenhof near Grabsleben, the currently (2010) unused inn (“Weimarischer Hof”) in Gamstädt and the “Fürstenhof” in Frienstedt .
- The townscape - the two former districts still had stately homesteads, some of which have been preserved as half-timbered houses, and some of the courtyard gates also give an idea of the pride of the former and current owners.
