geography

Guthmannshausen is located on the Lossa in the eastern part of the Thuringian Basin between Ettersberg and Finne .

history

The name of the place goes back to the Germanic god Wotan . At the beginning of the 8th century Guthmannshausen was first mentioned as Wodaneshusun . This mention can be found in the Breviarium Sancti Lulli , a directory of the free goods awarded by Archbishop Lullus of Mainz († 786) to the Hersfeld Monastery . In 1256 an Albert von Gutenhusen owned the place, the family can be traced back to the 17th century. The Marschall family followed .

In 1572 Guthmannshausen came to the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar . During the Thirty Years' War the village was badly plundered in 1637 and hit by the plague in 1680 with 210 deaths. In 1687 the community was able to inaugurate the new parish church of St. Trinity, the tower of which came from the previous church from the High Middle Ages. In a major fire in 1793, 70 houses and many farm buildings were destroyed.

As the place of the Hardisleben office , Guthmannshausen came to the Buttstädt office in 1817 , which was opened in the Apolda administrative district of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach in 1850 . From 1874 the Saale-Unstrut Railway ran via Guthmannshausen, and from 1887 the place was connected to the narrow-gauge “Laura” railway . In 1882 the Lossa was regulated, which had often led to floods. From 1908 there was power supply. In 1912 the manor house of the lower manor was modernized and expanded. In April 1945 US troops occupied Guthmannshausen, replaced by the Red Army in July . The place was part of the Soviet occupation zone , from 1949 the GDR , and had to go through all the social changes associated with it. With the reunification in 1990 Guthmannshausen came to the Sömmerda district of the new federal state of Thuringia.

On January 1, 2019, the Guthmannshausen community was merged with the other communities of the Buttstädt administrative community to form the Buttstädt rural community.

mayor

The honorary mayor Bernd Pekarek was elected in 2008.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Michael Zapfe and approved on June 30, 1993.

Blazon : “Divided by blue over silver; above a growing silver lion turned to the right, below two blue grapes with a common stem. "

The watchful lion was added to the coat of arms based on the family coat of arms of the lords of Guthmannshausen, who had their seat in the town, to document the close connection between this now extinct family and the town. The two stylized grapes as attributes of St. Wigbert are reminiscent of an old church that stood on a mountain in the parish hall of Wippricht and was probably dedicated to St. Wigbert.

In the time of National Socialism

During the Second World War , more than 200 prisoners of war as well as women and men from the countries occupied by Germany had to do forced labor : on two estates and with individual farmers. The death of an infant and a Soviet prisoner of war is attested.

As a result of the grid action , the factory worker Arno Steinacker (born 1886) was imprisoned in Buchenwald concentration camp on August 22nd and released after four weeks.

Holocaust Denier Center in Guthmannshausen

The sale of the former manor Guthmannshausen by the Free State of Thuringia to the banned with the 2008 right-wing organization Collegium Humanum personally and ideologically affiliated club Memorial eV sparked a year of political protests in 2011. The Ministry of Finance of the Free State of Thuringia announced that it would review the sale to the right-wing extremist organization. The state of Thuringia failed at the end of April 2013 before the Erfurt Regional Court with a lawsuit against the sale to the association founded in 1992 by the Holocaust denier Ursula Haverbeck .
