Equally designated in Thuringia is a district of the city of Römhild in the Hildburghausen district in Thuringia and, like the neighboring village of Gleichamberg, a clustered village . The population fluctuates around 350. It is bordered by the Milz River in the north, the Hexenberg in the south and the foothills of the Kuhberg and the Leithenberg in the east and west.

history

The settlement was first mentioned in 1100 under the name "Glychon" and is therefore one of the oldest in the country. In 1182 it was divided into "Glychon an der Wysen" and "Glychon am Berg" , today's Gleichamberg . The place was a fiefdom of the Hochstift Würzburg .

In 1743, Gleicherwiesen was given the status of a market town with four cattle and annual fairs by the imperial award . The Jewish cemetery suggests that trade flourished here . In 1808, the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen and the Grand Duchy of Würzburg agreed on an area swap: the Saxon fiefs Filke, Neustädtles, Sands, Völkershausen and Willmars came to Würzburg, the Würzburg fiefs Berkach, Gleicherwiesen and Nordheim / Grabfeld went like the mixed fiefs Bibra and Walldorf an Sachsen-Meiningen.

Before the First World War , around a third of the population at that time belonged to the Jewish faith. In the Night of Broken Glass , 1938, a riot police destroyed SS from Hildburghausen the synagogue of the place, from 1942 made the deportation of the remaining Jews in the death camps . On April 10, 1945, shortly before the end of the Second World War , there was still fighting between the 2nd US Cavalry Regiment (which was on the way to Bayreuth and reached it 3 days later) and the Waffen SS .

On March 23, 1993 the place was incorporated into the community of Gleichamberg, 2012 into the city of Römhild.

The church of St. Nikolaus , which stands roughly in the center of the village, was rebuilt in Gothic style in 1843, except for the tower .

Attractions

As in the other villages in the region, one of the attractions is the fair . You can not with a comparable large number of actors such. B. in Gleichamberg, but has a special tradition. It is the only fair where the " rooster " is performed. In the early 1990s, some members of the Green Party wanted to ban what they saw as a brutal ritual. Since it has been a long-cherished custom in Gleicherwiesen and is unique in Germany, they were unable to assert themselves in court.
