The district is located on the southern roofing of the Hildburghausen Forest on Landesstraße 1134 , which leaves the area around Hildburghausen to the northeast. The Dambachtal and the fish ponds are destinations for the guests.

history

The district was first mentioned on March 9, 1181. As a place in the county of Henneberg it belonged to the Schleusingen office , which belonged to the county of Henneberg-Schleusingen from 1274 to 1583. After the Counts of Henneberg died out in 1583, the office and the place came under joint Saxon administration until 1660.

After the division of the former county of Henneberg, the place belonged as part of the Schleusingen district to the Albertine Principality of Saxony-Zeitz from 1660 and, after its extinction, to the Electorate of Saxony from 1718 . Due to the Congress of Vienna , Kursachsen had to cede its areas in southern Thuringia to Prussia. From 1815 to 1945 Gerhardtsgereuth belonged to Prussia , administratively to the Schleusingen district in the province of Saxony .

In 1950 Neuendambach was incorporated. On March 8, 1994, Gerhardtsgereuth was incorporated into Hildburghausen.

251 people lived in the village in 2012.
