history

Großhelmsdorf was first mentioned on September 11, 1223.

To the west of the village there is a rampart on a hilltop . There are documented references to a castle in the 12th and 13th centuries, which may have been related to the ramparts. A Hagendorf is mentioned in documents from 1121, which is said to have belonged to the Haynsburg . In 1185 and 1223 a Konrad von Haynsburg and 1238 a Schloss Haynsburg are mentioned. Recognizable relics have been proven several times on this spur-like hill mentioned above, which may go back to the complex.

According to legend, the place name comes from the first settler named Helm, who had two sons, the elder of whom founded the place around 1540. This cannot be confirmed on the basis of the archive material in the Saxony-Anhalt state archive . Rather, a document from the Saxon Main State Archives in Dresden from 1223 shows that it was originally the location of a Helmbold or Helmold ("Helmoldesdorf", contrary to Kleinhelmsdorf , which was called "Helwigsdorf"). From a certificate issued by Duke Heinrich of Saxony on July 5, 1540 in Freiberg , it can be seen that he gave the Heinrich brothers, Günther the Elder. Ä., Rudolf d. Ä., Günther d. J. and Heinrich d. J. von Bünau auf Tannroda left “the village of Helmsdorf with a vacant Sedelhof” as a man fief, just as his brother, Duke Georg the Bearded of Saxony, had done to their ancestors.

Großhelmsdorf belonged to the Weißenfels office of the Electorate and later Kingdom of Saxony until 1815 . United Helmsdorf came after the Congress of Vienna to the county Weissenfels the governmental district Merseburg the Prussian province of Saxony .

Carl von Flemming bought the Großhelmsdorf estate from Heinrich LXXII in 1839. Reuss.

After the Second World War, the place was incorporated into the east of neighboring Lindau and belonged to the Zeitz district of Saxony-Anhalt . Through the territorial reform of 1952, Großhelmsdorf came to the GDR district of Gera and with this in 1990 to the Free State of Thuringia.

On July 1, 1950, Großhelmsdorf lost its independence for the first time when it was incorporated into Lindau , but on January 1, 1957, the place was again excluded and thus independent. On April 9, 1994, the place was merged with six other places to form the new municipality of Heideland.
