Hassenberg is a district of the Upper Franconian community of Sonnefeld in the Coburg district .

location

Hassenberg is 17 kilometers east of Coburg in the Upper Main Hills in the Steinach Valley . The core of the village with the castle lies on a ridge at an altitude of about 320 meters. The place lies in the valley of the Weickenbach and is laid out irregularly on and around the Schlossberg on its flanks.

history

Hassenberg was first mentioned in 1317 as "Hasseberg" in the Urbarium , a list of possessions of the Hennebergers when they acquired the New Rulership. In 1429 Heinz von Redwitz acquired the castle and the associated manor. The von Redwitz family lived in the castle until the late 17th century. The manor, which was mainly operated as an estate, was destroyed in the Peasants 'War in 1525 and in the Thirty Years' War in 1632/34. Hassenberg was the seat of a court. The last execution took place in 1791.

In 1684 Hans Ulrich von Redwitz zu Hassenberg sold the estate to the Coburg Chamber Director Freiherr Stockhorner von Starein. He had the old castle demolished and the castle built in 1689 as an early example of classicism in the Coburg region and the neighboring castle church built as a house church in its current form in 1690.

Isaak Buirette von Oehlefeld (1638–1708), lord of Hassenberg and Wilhelmsdorf , merchant, owner of a beer brewery , royal Prussian councilor and resident of Nuremberg

In 1694, Baron Stockhorner von Starein sold the Hassenberg estate and the four farms to the Huguenot banker Isaak Buirette von Oehlefeld. In 1711 the property came into the possession of the imperial general Freiherr Heinrich Johann von Schilling, whose son-in-law was the imperial captain Georg Albrecht von Kanne. In 1724 there was a church and an administrator's apartment in the castle area in Hassenberg, as well as a brewery and a brickworks. The place also had seven houses, including a mill, two Fronsölden, a Sölde , a little house and two new drip houses .

After the death of Friedrich Heinrich von Kanne in 1782, his son-in-law Wilhelm von Wasmer became the new landlord. In 1783, Hassenberg had 67 residents and 13 houses. As a result of the change from a castle to a village, it had doubled to 131 residents and 26 houses by 1807. In 1856 there were 260 people and 47 houses in Hassenberg due to the many newly built drip houses. The people lived mainly from daily wages and trade. In 1857 there were two farmers, 30 tradespeople and 11 day laborers, five spinners, two seamstresses and one basket weaver in the village. From the middle of the 19th century, palm basket weaving developed into a new line of business.

The castle and the estate were acquired by the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg in 1856 following a foreclosure auction . In 1860 a penitentiary was established , which, according to a state treaty from 1877 until its dissolution in 1911, was the joint women's penitentiary of the Thuringian states with the exception of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt . In the First World War it served as a prison camp. The inhabitants worked as basket makers and builders.

In a referendum on 30 November 1919 voted 5 Hassberger citizens for the accession of the State of Coburg the Thuringian State and 211 against. From July 1st, 1920, Hassenberg belonged to the Free State of Bavaria . In 1920 Hassenberg got a connection to the railway network with the Steinachtalbahn . In 1989 the line was closed. In the period from 1945 to 1989, the location on the inner-German border was decisive for the place . In 1950 Hassenberg became an independent parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Before that she belonged to the parish of Gestungshausen .

In 1971, in a referendum, 98% of the residents decided to keep Hassenberg in the Coburg district and thus against moving it to Mitwitz in the neighboring Kronach district . On January 1, 1972, Hassenberg was incorporated into the Sonnefeld community as a district. In 1987 the place had 704 inhabitants and 195 houses. The primary school students attend the elementary school in Mitwitz.

Castle Church

Castle Church

The castle church stands on the slope in the inner corner of a bend in the street . The baroque- style hall church without a separate chancel has a rectangular floor plan and a single-storey gallery on three sides . A special feature is the stucco-decorated flat ceiling from the workshop of the Italian Castelli, who also worked in the Coburg Ehrenburg . The ceiling painting probably comes from the Coburg court painter Johannes Schuster. Under the church is the burial place of the family of General von Schilling.

economy

In Hassenberg and the neighboring village of Wörlsdorf, which also belongs to the community of Sonnefeld, the third-generation owner-managed family company Bohl Thermoformtechnik GmbH is a large employer with around 30 employees.
