history
Settlement in Georgenthal has been proven by archaeological finds since the earlier and later Bronze Age (1,400 BCE - 700 BCE). Georgenthal was created in the 18th century as a Vorwerk / colony. The large stone church in Falkenhagen has been the Georgenthaler church since 1816. At the beginning of the 19th century Georgenthal already had around 50 inhabitants and reached a peak in 1871 with 90 inhabitants.
Poststrasse has been running through Georgenthal since the beginning of the 19th century. The Georgenthal milestone is still in its original location. It is located at the height of the mountain slope diagonally across from today's Georgenthal holiday farm. From 1801 to 1945, this building was home to a restaurant, the so-called Grundkrug. At the beginning of the 19th century, the inn "Grüner Baum" was founded on a residential area about 0.5 km away west of Georgenthal an der Chaussee. The "Green Tree" was also a horse changing point for the stagecoaches . Since 1895 the building has only been used as a residential building. Today Georgenthal 20, before that Falkenhagen expansion no. 51. Opposite there is a farm with forest property since the end of the 19th century (Georgenthal 19). Since 1975 this farm belonged to the writer Edith Anderson .
A working farm belonging to Georgenthal is located about one kilometer north of the "Green Tree". This is the Jochenshof. A hiking trail leads around it to Falkenhagen. Then there is a working farm on the dirt road to the west and east of the Gabelsee, branching off from the Chaussee and leading to Falkenhagen. These courtyards also belong to Georgenthal. The surrounding fields are tilled with oil flax and sunflowers, among other things. The residents of Georgenthal were mainly craftsmen. A former linen weaver's house was No. 12.
Special places in Georgenthal used to be the bakery and the washing area. To the north of the milestone is a mountain slope, which was called the Bread Mountain because until shortly before 1930 there was a farm with a bakery in which the residents baked their bread. The washing, drying and bleaching area was between the Grundkrug (No. 5) and today's No. 7. There was also a roadside keeper's house in Georgenthal (in Prussia until 1875). The guard's job was to collect road tolls and to control and repair the road.
During the GDR era , there was a grocery store in Georgenthal in the former Grundkrug and a post office in No. 20, the “Green Tree”. The bus stop is still called Georgenthal, Post today.
Georgenthal also has its own cemetery in a wood not far from the B5. The oldest known grave still in existence is from 1840. So far the Georgenthalers have run the cemetery themselves. There were no cemetery fees for the users. After the municipal administration in Falkenhagen became aware of this in March 2012, there will now be a cemetery statute (cemetery regulation) and a cemetery fee schedule.
