Harras is a district of the city of Eisfeld in the Hildburghausen district in Thuringia .
location
Harras is located south of Eisfeld on the federal highway 89 with a connection to the federal highway 73 in a foothills of the Werra lowlands . The Werrabahn is another connection to the surrounding area. To the south lies the Leite nature reserve near Harras . The state border with Bavaria is about 2 km away.
history
On the Harrashügel there is a burial mound field from the Hallstatt and Latène times .
In 1309 a place Harreß and 1319 Harroß are mentioned in a document, with which probably, but not certain, the local Harras is meant. In 1340, the three neighboring towns of Harras, Bockstadt and Heid appear together in the register of tithe of the Hildburghausen Regional Court . A manor is not mentioned yet. Hans von Heßberg in Harras was first documented in 1380 . As a result of the family connection between the Heßberger and von Heldritt family, there was also an Otto von Heldritt in Harras in 1399. The coat of arms of those von Heldritt still adorns a building that was built towards the end of the 15th century on the manor near the church.
During an archaeological excavation with the aim of clearing up the settlement from the Hallstatt period, a former alluvial clay island in the Werra lowland about 200 meters west of today's village area was examined in 2013/14 , whereby a previously unknown manor with a permanent house was excavated, which is probably around a multi-storey half-timbered building on stone sleepers (probably in wood and clay frame construction ) from the period from 1250 onwards. The building had a hall on the ground floor and a plank room (heated by a tiled stove) from the first half of the 14th century, as well as a service courtyard to the east with storage and stables in post construction . The residential building was secured with a Sohlgraben, which was fed by the river, while on the island, right next to the house, a Meliorationsgraben ran. It is probably a castle of locators of the lower nobility from the clearing time , when the region was opened up by founding villages, possibly already by the Lords of Heßberg. The found pottery is from around 1300. At the beginning of the 14th century the farmyard was abandoned and in the middle of the 14th century the fortress house was also demolished as planned. The knight's seat was moved to the village, presumably due to changed water conditions in the lowlands.
The church was built in 1621. In 1750 the tower was renewed.
