history

As part of the voluntary mergers during the regional reform in Thuringia in 2018 and 2019 , the city of Großbreitenbach and the other 7 municipalities of the Großbreitenbach administrative community agreed on a merger. After the legislative resolution in the state parliament on December 13, 2018, the merger to form the rural community took place on January 1, 2019, and the Großbreitenbach administrative community was dissolved at the same time. The previous districts of Herschdorf, Allersdorf and Willmersdorf, have since then been districts of the rural community of Großbreitenbach on the same level as Herschdorf.
