Gernewitz is a district of Stadtroda in the Saale-Holzland district in Thuringia .
geography
The Gernewitz location is 2 km west of Stadtroda on the Jenaer Chaussee , which was expanded in 1835 - now state road 1077 to Jena . The place is on the right bank of the Roda and is also drained by the Grünzigbach. Subordinate streets connect Gernewitz with the neighboring towns of Schlöben , Schöngleina and Beulbar . The next connection to the federal motorway 4 is at Jena. The Weimar – Gera railway runs north of Gernewitz .
history
On March 20, 1252, the place was first mentioned as Gornuwiz . Other mentions as Gurnewiz (1259), Gornowicz (1450) and Gornebicz (1518) should refer to the Slavic roots of the place. Another interpretation of the name wants to interpret the place as the foundation of a German locator Gernod .
With the already mentioned 1200 Henricus de Gornewicz a company affiliated with the site aristocratic family is as vassal of the Viscount of Kirchberg mentioned in Kapellendorf to the upcoming convent chapel village four hooves country donates. During a landslide in 1977 foundations and small finds of the aristocratic residence accidentally came to light, which archaeologists referred to and dated as a high medieval manor house. The noble family could also strive up in the vicinity of the lords of Lobdeburg . Narrated are Henricus and Kilian of Gornewitz . As Kilianus dictus Puster de Gornewicz , this Kilian also became the owner of the nearby village of Drackendorf in the Saale valley . The downfall of the Lobdeburg dynasty began with the “Lobdeburg Feud” (1295–1316). In 1358 the Lobdeburg came to the Landgraves of Thuringia. In 1465 the now landgrave followers Nikolaus and Hans Puster received the Lobdeburg and the associated castle district as a fief. The village of Gernewitz soon belonged to the Roda monastery . This nunnery was founded and expanded after 1228 as a house monastery of the Lobdeburgers. After the introduction of the Reformation , the monastery was closed in 1534. The documents are missing about a first church building in Gernewitz, probably from the end of the 13th century. Initially, the neighboring town of Roda was responsible for protecting the village population in times of war, as well as church and school supplies for the Gernewitzers. In the local chronicle, the major fire of April 15, 1645 was recorded with 20 farmsteads burned down. The agricultural town had 25 houses in 1670 and had to pay 17 guilders and 8 groschen taxes to the office annually. In 1693 there were 144 inhabitants. In 1840 there were 172 inhabitants and in 1885 195 inhabitants resided in the village, which now had 31 houses and 34 households.
The first school in town was opened in 1667, and craftsmen and citizens of the neighboring town of Roda appeared as teachers. In 1798 the school house was renovated and an apartment for the teacher was given. The school, built in 1842, was attended by 20 to 25 children.
The current church was consecrated in 1790 and had a late Gothic predecessor, from which a bell cast in 1494 has been preserved. During the construction of the church tower, the slater Johannes Caspar Hofmann from Schmiedebach had a fatal accident on August 21, 1789.
The "nervous fever" (probably typhus) brought by soldiers from the east during the liberation wars claimed numerous victims, including among the local population, in 1813/14. A memorial stone in the churchyard commemorates them.
The otherwise inconspicuous Grünzigbach swelled enormously on August 9, 1846 after torrential rain and devastated large parts of the town. A hailstorm on July 27, 1867 destroyed most of the grain harvest and drove many farmers into debt.
In 1899 the Gernewitz dairy farmers formed a dairy cooperative in order to be able to build and operate a modern dairy, which was in operation until after the Second World War. In 1968, the disused dairy building was converted by the agricultural production cooperative Laasdorf to market vegetables.
On July 1, 1950, the neighboring village of Podelsatz was incorporated . The Gernewitz farmers joined the LPG "Auf Friedenswacht", founded in 1953, after propaganda preparation and pressure. A branch of the machine-tractor station (MTS) Schlöben was soon set up on site. The agricultural equipment inventory was expanded in 1970 with a potato sorting system, in 1975 with a pelletizing system and the vegetable processing hall attached to the dairy. A consumer outlet and a kindergarten were set up in the village.
The cultural office of the city of Jena acquired a homestead threatened with decay to accommodate a Jena artists' commune. The place should also accommodate a workshop for the VEB Denkmalpflege Rudolstadt, which at that time had taken on numerous restoration projects in the Gera district and required suitable storage and workshop facilities in a convenient location (near the motorway).
