Hasenthal is a district of the city of Sonneberg in the district of Sonneberg in Thuringia .

location

Hasenthal is located on the ridge to the southern roofing of the Thuringian Slate Mountains on the border with Bavaria behind the hills south of Lichte and northwest of Tettau . The state roads 1150 and 2658 lead to the place, which is surrounded by mountain meadows and forests.

history

When the Lauenstein dynasty was divided up by the Counts of Orlamünd, the rule of Graefenthal was established on June 29, 1414 , to which, in addition to all the associated villages (still without Hasenthal), the large forest area of ​​the Stammwald (on the "Judenstrasse" up to the state border) the Sattelpass and the Steinerne Heide), belonged. The settlement of this region south of the Rennsteig was a long time coming, then took place in the time of the Reichserbmarschalls von Pappenheim , who were enfeoffed with the rule of Graefenthal in 1438.The first settlers were charcoal burners, whose charcoal from beech wood for the extraction of pig iron and copper was in demand more and more. The place name Hasenthal is said to have originated after a former blast furnace owner Hase. This interpretation cannot be proven in a document. The first documentary mention has existed since August 29, 1488 in the Weimar State Archives. In 1488 Sebastian von Pappenheim enfeoffed the Leipzig citizen Hans von Leimbach with the Hasenthal property, including the Saigerhütte.

The Hasenthaler Seigerhütte was the highest hut in Thuringia and also the smallest. Above all, black copper from Schlema , Ilmenau and Saalfeld and only a small amount of copper from Mansfeld were sold in Hasenthal . The Ore Copper was in Hasenthal verseigert be because Hans von Leimbach since 1487 the office of the electoral tithe agent in Schneeberg exercised. However, Hans von Leimbach soon devoted himself to other commercial activities and did not pay much attention to the Hasenthaler Seigerhütte. After Leimbach's death, there were no deliveries from the Ore Mountains and the Ilmenau mine fell into debt. The Hasenthaler Seigerhütte was closed again in 1514. It had become unprofitable. The climatic conditions in Hasenthal certainly contributed to this. It was winter from October to April. The transports were extremely difficult, there was a lack of water. For the first time in 1594, "Hasenthal" [3] can be seen on a map by the Nuremberg cartographer Paul Pfinzing, namely on page 6 in the so-called "Pfinzigatlas" from 1594. It is located a short distance southwest of the parish "Speckbron" apparently in the still impassable trunk forest of the Gräfenthal rule.

Iron smelting was carried out in Hasenthal until well into the 16th century.

Other sources of income were the production of charcoal, the extraction of resin for the production of pitch, the mining of iron stones and a small amount of agriculture.

A detailed description can be found in the "Description of the Ducal Saxony-Saalfeld Office of Graefenthal, Anno 1790" by the Coburg-Saalfeld Council and bailiff Johann Gottfried Göbel:

“ The district village of Hasenthal does not come into contact with any other village hall, but is surrounded all around by stately forests. It is enclosed in the east by the Spechtstein, in the south by the Hofberg, in the west by the Limberg and in the north by the Oelsethälern. The village consists of 121/2 farms. 12 small houses, 20 single meadows and 20 single fields. It has 16 property owners, 12 small house owners and 3 renters. The population is 166 souls, namely 34 married couples, 3 widowers. 7 widows, 19 boys and 11 girls over 14 years of age, 27 male and 31 female children. "

With the opening of the first pen fracture in 1812, Hasenthal developed rapidly.

In the 17th century a forester's office was set up, which was converted into a ducal chief forester's office in 1890 and into a Thuringian forestry office in 1924.

Today the place is mainly characterized by the plastics industry. There are service and handicraft businesses, cafés in Schneidemühle and Hasenthal Land, a kindergarten and the state primary school.

Elementary school in Hasenthal

The first schoolhouse was built in 1886, which was destroyed by fire in March 1910. The following school building was inaugurated on September 3, 1911. From 1958 the Eschenthaler and from 1960 the Spechtsbrunn pupils attended classes five to eight in Hasenthal. In 1961 the establishment of a polytechnic high school began . In addition, a teaching pool was built in 1962 and an extension was built in 1970/71. In 1991, the Polytechnic High School was closed and the school building continued to be used as the Hasenthal State Elementary School for grades one to four in the municipality of Oberland am Rennsteig. At the schoolhouse since 1982 a memorial plaque to the victims of the death march of concentration camp prisoners from Sonnenberg .

The farmhouse from 1783 is worth seeing.

Today Hasenthal is characterized by two plastics processing companies and a few craft businesses. Since 1998, the Plankermes fair and costume association has been celebrating in mid-August.

In 1994 the place was incorporated into the unified municipality of Engnitzthal , which in 1997 became part of the municipality of Oberland am Rennsteig . This became part of the city of Sonneberg on January 1, 2014. The current district mayor is Birgitt Kramer-Büttner.
