Gleußen is a district of the Upper Franconian community of Itzgrund in the Coburg district .

geography

Gleußen is located southwest of Coburg , about 15 kilometers away. The place is located on a flat eastern slope of the Itzgrund . The Herrether Bach, a left tributary of the Itz, flows through Gleußen . As early as the High Middle Ages , an escort road led through the Itzgrund . From Gleußen onwards, the Principality of Coburg gave travelers to the north protection by armed horsemen. Today the Bundesstraße 4 runs between the Itz and the town .

history

Gleußen was first mentioned as "Glusne" in the 9th century in the traditions of the Fulda Monastery , which are based on a copy in the Codex Eberhardi from the 12th century. Another mention was in 1299.

The Gleußen farmers were probably involved in the German Peasants' War in 1525 . As a result, the residents were allowed to choose the Evangelical Lutheran creed. The Reformation was introduced under the first Protestant pastor, Heinrich Vischer, and the community separated from the original parish of Altenbanz in 1528 .

In 1616 the place received a post office of the Imperial Post Office , which was operated by Thurn und Taxis and had its seat in a building from 1603.

During the Thirty Years' War Gleußen suffered from destruction. In 1632, imperial and Bavarian troops quartered under Wallenstein . At the end of the Seven Years' War , various troops moved into winter quarters in Gleußen several times. In 1847 53 families lived in Gleußen, Schleifenhan and Lohhof. In the mid-1850s, the community had 333 residents, 149 houses, a parish church, a postal company and a mill. In 1889 the towns had 74 families living in 61 houses.

Gleußen had different territorial affiliations. There was a controversial, closely interlinked network of various landlord property rights and fiefdoms. The principality of Coburg and the bishopric of Bamberg , under which the Banz monastery exercised the manorial rule, had sovereign rights . In the state treaty from 1811 negotiated between Bavaria's Prime Minister Maximilian von Montgelas and Prince Leopold von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld , Gleussen was finally awarded to Bavaria.

In 1870 Adam Schumann founded a brewery with an associated inn. In 1948 the brewing business was stopped and the inn was later closed.

In 1925 the village had 263 residents and 61 houses. In the community, which also comprised the wastelands of Lohhof and Schleifenhan, 293 people lived, of whom 273 belonged to the Evangelical Lutheran Church. In 1987 the village had 361 inhabitants and 133 houses with 157 apartments.

On July 1, 1972, the Staffelstein district was dissolved. Since then, Gleußen has been part of the Coburg district . In the course of the Bavarian regional reform , Gleußen lost its independence as a municipality on May 1, 1978 and, like its districts, the wastelands Lohhof and Schleifenhan, became part of the municipality of Itzgrund.

Attractions

Parish church

The Evangelical Lutheran parish church is a classicist hall church , the nave of which was built between 1831 and 1836. The core of the late medieval choir tower with a cross vault dates from the 13th century and in 1608 received a high pointed spire with four corner turrets. Of the furnishings, the canopy of the pulpit altar from the Schweinfurt art carpentry workshop of the Stößel brothers is worth mentioning. The organ was built in 1834 by Georg Christoph Hofmann from Neustadt .
