Haarbrücken is a district of the Upper Franconian town of Neustadt bei Coburg in the Coburg district .

location

The old town center of Haarbrücken is located north of the Röden . The more recent developments from the mid-20th century are located on the southwestern heights of the Neustadt basin, about two kilometers from Neustadt. A municipal road that connects Neustadt with Coburg runs through the village .

history

Haarbrücken was first mentioned in a document in 1273, when Heinrich von Sonneberg sold the tithe from Neustadt and Haarbrücken to the Trostadt monastery near Themar . The place was probably on a swamp (Old High German: "horo"), over which a dam made of rod network and earth was laid. Accordingly, it used to be called "horbruche". For the year 1317, the Neustadter Erbbuch, a list of possessions and rights of the Henneberger, lists 13 estates and the mill on the Röden, which worked until 1965 and was demolished in 1986.

Around 1500 the lords of Schott zu Lind owned four estates and the mill, which the lords of Birkicht followed in the 16th century.

During the Thirty Years' War the number of households decreased from 14 in 1618 to five in 1638. In addition, 13 residents died of the plague in 1626 .

The children went to school in Neustadt until 1780, then in Haarbrücken, until a new schoolhouse was built in Thann in 1862 . In 1863 there were 15 homesteads with outbuildings in Haarbrücken.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, three citizens of Haarbrücken voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 67 against. From July 1, 1920, Haarbrücken also belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .

13 soldiers in Haarbrück lost their lives in the First World War and 18 in the Second World War. A memorial, created in 1920 by the sculptor Gustav Reissmann , stands at the cemetery. In the Reichstag election of November 6, 1932 , the NSDAP received 84 votes out of a total of 98 in Haarbrücken.

Until the early 1950s, Haarbrücken was a rural village. From 1953, residential building began in the Kriegersäcker and Bodenholz building areas north of the historic town center, among others by the non-profit housing association of the district of Coburg, which lasted until the 1990s. A total of around 150 single and multi-family houses were built by the end of the 1970s. The apartments were built especially for the employees of the expanding Neustadt cable factory of Siemens-Schuckert-Werke AG. As a result, a school with four classrooms and 148 students was built in the new building area in 1961 for 400,000 DM, and in 1964 a Protestant daughter church in Neustadt. In addition to Haarbrücken and Thann, Ketschenbach also belonged to the parish when they became self-employed from 1968 .

On January 1, 1971, Kemmaten was incorporated . On May 1, 1978, Haarbrücken became a district of Neustadt.

The drinking water supply used to be through house wells. A community-owned system with connections to some properties existed from 1960. After July 28, 1971, all properties were connected to the drinking water network of Stadtwerke Neustadt. From 1922, the electricity supplier was the Coburg overland plant . On January 1, 1973 the Neustadt municipal utilities took over the power supply.

Protestant church

The “House of Encounter” built in 1974 was expanded into a church in 1981/82 according to plans by the architect Focke. The church building, consisting of community rooms in the basement and a simply designed sacred room on the ground floor, was consecrated on September 26, 1982. In the attached bell tower hang four bells that were cast in 1980 by the Rincker bell foundry . The organ, which was inaugurated in November 2019, was set up by Munich Organ Builders. The instrument has 784 pipes and 13 registers on two manuals and a pedal .
