history

Gasteroda was first mentioned in 1383.

The place initially belonged as a clearing settlement to the former parish village of Heiligenroda in the Vogtei Kreuzberg , after the eviction (around 1975) this became a desert in the Oberzella corridor on the Hessian-Thuringian border. The first owners of the Gasteroda and Heiligenroda farms known by name are the Lords of Benhausen , who in the 1383 document handed over these properties to the Kreuzberg monastery . In 1553 the Hessian Landgrave Philipp I acquired the villages of Vitzeroda, Abteroda and Gasteroda. They were assigned to the Heringen court in the Friedewald office.

According to the regulations of the Congress of Vienna , the places Vitzeroda , Abteroda and Gasteroda came from the Electorate of Hesse-Kassel to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach in 1816 .

Although since then a Thuringian municipality under constitutional law, the church and school responsibility for the inhabitants remained on the part of the Hessian parish Heringen for almost 80 years . The Weimar government responded to multiple requests from the population and in February 1894 signed a state treaty for the conversion of the parish church members from Vitzeroda, Abteroda and Gasteroda to the parish of Gospenroda .

As a result of the division of Germany, Gasteroda was in the 500 m protection strip of the restricted area in the border area between the GDR and the FRG until 1990 . The small settlement was gradually abandoned; in autumn 1989 only one homestead was still inhabited.

Like Abteroda, Gasteroda was incorporated into Vitzeroda on July 1, 1950. The Thuringian Ordinance of February 16, 1994 incorporated it into the town of Berka / Werra. This opened on January 1, 2019 in the city of Werra-Suhl-Tal.
