history
Großeutersdorf is first mentioned as Otherestorph in the minutes of the Ingelheim negotiations of May 18, 876.
A fire burial site from the Grosseutersdorfer Kirchberg, which has been occupied for a long time, is located at the foot of the Walpersberg. Starting from a chief's grave, 8-10 generations have been buried here for about 250 years. The mountain name indicates a Christian successor shrine to a pre-Christian cult site.
Großeutersdorf was affected by the persecution of witches from 1684 to 1687 . A man and a woman got into witch trials . The outcome is unknown as the files were destroyed.
From 1884 at the latest, the Walpersberg was hollowed out by the Kahla porcelain industry for the extraction of raw materials. This cave system was expanded towards the end of the Second World War by the National Socialist armaments industry with the use of foreign and forced laborers to form the REIMAHG underground aircraft factory . Ruins of the plant can still be found above the village.
