Geilsdorf is a district of the city of Stadtilm in the Ilm district ( Thuringia ).

geography

Geilsdorf is around 400 meters above sea level in the Deube valley, around three kilometers south of Stadtilm . To the north of the village lies the 475 meter high Läuseberg, to the southeast the 545 meter high Herrenberg and southwest the 583 meter high Singer Berg . Like the entire area, they all belong to the Ilm-Saale-Platte , a dry, karstified shell limestone formation. Due to karstification, the Deube seeps away at Geilsdorf and reappears in the Remda area about ten kilometers to the east.

history

Geilsdorf was first mentioned in a document in 842–856.

A burial place was found in the Geilsdorfer Flur during the construction of the railway embankment in 1892. As is customary with the Slavs, the dead were buried with jewelery.

Until 1920 it belonged to Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt ( suzerainty ). On April 6, 1994 the community Singerberg was founded, to which the place belonged until the formation of the community Ilmtal on June 1, 1996. This in turn was incorporated into Stadtilm on July 6, 2018.

The Geilsdorf labor colony existed near Geilsdorf , where released convicts could work and were rewarded with room and board.

traffic

The village road leads to Großliehaben in the east and to the Stadtilm - Paulinzella - Rottenbach state road in the west.

The Arnstadt – Saalfeld railway line runs not far to the west of Geilsdorf, the next stops are in Stadtilm in the north and in Singen in the south.

Attractions

The small Protestant village church belongs to the parish of Griesheim and was built in 1882 by the Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt building officer Rudolph Brecht . A previous building was demolished in 1861. The small, three-axis building with a western roof tower and recessed, rectangular choir extension consists of neo-Romanesque forms. The interior of the nave has an open rafter ceiling, a west gallery and a large triumphal arch to the east to the choir.

economy

Geilsdorf is an agricultural village.
