history
The first documentary mention of Großwerther took place on May 20, 1246. The North German name Werder / Werther means island in High German . The amelioration of the damp areas was carried out by monks from the Walkenried monastery in the 12th century. Lords of Werthern were mentioned in a document in 1209. However, it was more likely to be Kleinwerther at their original seat .
From 1613 to 1918 the von Arnstedt family owned the large manor in the village. She produced district administrators for the County of Hohnstein , and daughters of the family married Prussian officers. The best-known offspring of such a connection was the later Field Marshal Karl Eberhard Herwarth von Bittenfeld (1796-1884). Its birth room was proudly shown to visitors and existed until the manor house was partially demolished in 1947.
The manor was sold to the Franck family in Halle / Saale and Ludwigsburg (Kornfranck) in 1918. The warehouse with the winter seat of Arnstedter (now Dorfstrasse 21) was sold to the community. A community center (now Dorfstrasse 23) was built in place of demolished farm buildings. The very attractive estate park has been cleared and a nursery has been built in its place.
In 1923 the manor had 394 hectares and the monastery (Milde Stiftungen Nordhausen) 130 hectares.
In April 1945 US troops occupied the place, relieved by the Red Army in July of the same year. Werther became part of the Soviet Zone and from 1949 the GDR .
After expropriation without compensation, the manor became a state-owned property with an area of 89 hectares. The local farmers had to accept the collectivization of their property in the 1950s . The manor house of the former manor was used for the municipal administration.
After the fall of the Wall in 1990, agriculture reoriented itself and reorganized the ownership structure. In addition, other employment opportunities have arisen for a long time.
