Hörselberg-Hainich is a municipality in the northeastern Wartburg district in the Free State of Thuringia , which was formed on December 1, 2007 through the voluntary merger of the municipalities of Behringen and Hörselberg .
geography
The community lies between Eisenach , Bad Langensalza and Gotha on the southern edge of the Hainich and surrounds the Hörselberge mountains, which give it its name . With 142 square kilometers, it was, after Erfurt , Sondershausen and Gera , until the merger of the new municipality of Gerstungen on July 6, 2018, Thuringia's fourth largest municipality and thus the largest municipality without municipal rights in Thuringia. With 6346 inhabitants, Hörselberg-Hainich ranks third among the most populous communities in the Wartburg district.
Neighboring communities are the independent city of Eisenach in the west, Berka vor dem Hainich (Wartburgkreis) in the northwest, Mülverstedt , Weberstedt , Schönstedt and Bad Langensalza (all Unstrut-Hainich district ) in the north, Nessetal , Hörsel and Waltershausen (all district Gotha ) in the east or south and Wutha-Farnroda in the southwest.
Waters
The municipal area is traversed by the first order waters Nesse and Hörsel from east to west. In Sättelstädt, the Emse flows into the Hörsel from the south . From the north the Böber flows into the Nesse in Großenlupnitz . A northern tributary of the Nesse, the Bieberbach , is the receiving water of the northern districts of Behringen, Wolfsbehringen and Hütscheroda. From Reichenbach to Tüngeda the Mittagswassergraben runs in an easterly direction , which still feeds the Wangenheim reservoir in the Tüngeda district .
In the Sondra district, groundwater is pumped from several wells , which is processed into drinking water in the Sondra waterworks . From here the city of Eisenach and some of its districts, the communities of Wutha-Farnroda and districts, Seebach (Wartburgkreis) , parts of the city of Ruhla and the southern villages of Hörselberg-Hainich are supplied via long-distance lines. Parts of the districts of Sondra, Sättelstädt and Bolleroda are designated as drinking water protection areas due to the extraction of water .

history
The district of Sättelstedt is named as Setinstete in a document dated December 30th (between 1015 and 1018), in which Emperor Heinrich II granted the monastery of Fulda the wild ban in the Thuringian Gau and the Mark Lupenzo (around Großenlupnitz ).
The municipality of Hörselberg was created on January 1, 1996 through the merger of five municipalities. The municipality of Behringen was initially created on July 1, 1950 through the merger of three municipalities, one of which (Wolfsbehringen) became independent again in 1957. These and three other communities were merged on July 1, 1999 to form the new Behringen community. In the period from 1957 to 1994, smaller communities were already dissolved.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : “ Square of silver and green, fields 1 and 4: a black broken stake ; Field 2: a golden ammonite (Ammon's horn); Field 3: a serrated golden beech leaf. " |
|
Justification for the coat of arms: The heraldic figure of a black broken pole in a silver field creates the initial letter H. The two letters HH (Hörselberg-Hainich) represent the new community name. The ammonite is a symbol of the shell limestone landscape with dry grassy areas, notched valleys and periodic streams, where fossil fossils, including mussels or ammonites, can occasionally be found. The leaf stands pars pro toto for the species-rich deciduous forest of the Hainich .
In 2008, the local council held an ideas competition to find motives. The coat of arms was designed by heraldist Uwe Reipert after evaluating the suggestions and was approved by the Thuringian State Administration Office on March 12, 2010 . |
flag
The municipality's flag is green and yellow, with the municipality's coat of arms in the middle.

Monuments
An archaeological site (ground monument) is located east of the town of Sättelstädt near the former motorway in the Hörseliederung. Late Bronze Age finds and palisades were found there. It is believed that these facilities had a cultic character. In the vicinity of the towns of Behringen, Wenigenlupnitz and Reichenbach there are around 10 medieval desertions, the location of which is known, as well as other prehistoric and early historical sites as ground monuments.
In all districts there are (mostly by the respective church) memorials to the fallen soldiers for the local victims of the wars, they were designed more or less elaborately. The majority of the soldiers who died in fighting in the districts of the community were reburied in the central war cemetery at Hötzelsroda at Dürrerhof near Eisenach.

religion
In the districts of Hörselberg-Hainich there are 15 Evangelical Lutheran churches. Some of the houses of worship were built in the late Middle Ages or replace an older building. Romanesque architectural features still show the churches in Hastrungsfeld and Craula. The two youngest churches are in Großenbehringen (built in 1846) and in Kälberfeld (consecrated in 1905). The structure that has grown over time is also evident in the five parish districts:
- Evangelical Parish Office Behringen - responsible for the parishes in Craula, Hütscheroda, Großenbehringen, Oesterbehringen and Wolfsbehringen
- Evangelical rectory in Großenlupnitz - responsible for the parishes of Beuernfeld and Großenlupnitz
- Evangelical rectory in Melborn - responsible for the parishes of Burla, Ettenhausen / Nesse, Hastrungsfeld, Melborn, Sättelstädt and Wenigenlupnitz
- Evangelical rectory in Schönau ad Hörsel - responsible for the Kälberfeld parish
- Evangelical rectory in Wangenheim - responsible for the parishes of Reichenbach and Tüngeda.
Economy and Infrastructure
Commercial and industrial
In addition to the traditional local businesses, three large business parks and one industrial area were opened up and partially settled after 1990. The companies located in the Kindel industrial estate, the Behringen industrial estate and the Großenlupnitz industrial estate are now the largest employers in the region. Another commercial area with predominantly small and medium-sized businesses as well as a craftsman's farm are located in the Sättelstädt district. Commercial areas were also developed in the vicinity of the Kindel airfield from 2006 onwards. Some small businesses typical of aviation have settled there.
Water and sewage
The water and wastewater association Mittleres Nessetal is responsible for water supply and wastewater disposal for the places of the former unified community of Behringen (Behringen, Craula, Hütscheroda, Oesterbehringen, Reichenbach, Tüngeda and Wolfsbehringen) .
The Eisenach-Erbstromtal drinking and wastewater association takes on this task for the locations of the former unified municipality Hörselberg (Beuernfeld, Bolleroda, Burla, Ettenhausen an der Nesse, Großenlupnitz, Hastrungsfeld, Kälberfeld, Melborn, Sättelstädt, Sondra and Wenigenlupnitz).
traffic
The municipal area is cut through by the federal highway 4 to a length of 14.4 km and accessed by the federal roads 7 and 84 , the state roads 1029, 2113, 2120, 2122 and 3007 and the district roads 1, 1a, 2a, 7, 503 and 515.
With the commissioning of the north relocation of the A 4 , which was realized as part of the German Unity Transport Project (VDE No. 15), the municipality received two connection points. At Großenlupnitz, the new Eisenach-Ost junction is connected to federal highway 84 via state road 2113. At the junction Sättelstädt, not far from the district of the same name, federal road 7 begins in an easterly direction. The southern districts and the Wutha-Farnroda traffic area are accessed via the 3007 state road, which also begins here (a section of the former federal road 7 to Eisenach). The relocated motorway leads to high levels of noise and air pollution in the districts of Beuernfeld, Bolleroda, Ettenhausen, Großenlupnitz and Hastrungsfeld. The construction contract for relocating the A 4 was awarded in September 2007 as part of a public-private partnership (PPP) . For the 22.5 km long, six-lane route, a three-year construction period was initially expected. The new line has been in operation since January 6, 2010, initially with restrictions.
In addition, the Halle (Saale) –Erfurt – Gerstungen line crosses the southern districts of the Hörseltal with a stop and a depot in Sättelstädt . The railway connection to Kindel station was disrupted with the shutdown of the Nessetalbahn Bufleben – Friedrichswerth on September 28, 1995 and dismantled in 2007.
The Eisenach-Kindel airfield in the suburb of Wenigenlupnitz serves regional air traffic .
Hörselberg-Hainich is connected to the neighboring towns of Eisenach and Bad Langensalza by several bus routes.

All other fire brigades with basic equipment have small fire engines (KLF Thuringia) or portable fire pumps TSF-W. The alarms and operations are coordinated by the responsible control center of the Wartburg district (IlSt) in Eisenach .
