history

Archaeological finds from sand and gravel mining on Eichelberg and not far from the Werraaue are evidence of the prehistoric settlement of the corridor. The water castle Breitenbach was the origin of the place Hausbreitenbach and since the high Middle Ages the administrative seat of the office Hausbreitenbach belonging to the monastery Hersfeld . The residences of the Burgmannen were just south of the Hausbreitenbach moated castle on today's main street. From the church chronicle of Fernbreitenbach, a place Oberbreitenbach is known as a desert , which was located on the Fernbreitenbach field boundary.

The Thuringian landgraves concluded a contract with the abbot of Hersfeld in 1354, according to which the house and office of Breitenbach was jointly administered with the village of Berka. The Thuringian, later Saxon bailiff had his seat in Hausbreitenbach, later Gerstungen, the hersfeld resident lived in Berka / Werra.

In the 16th century the region around Herda was a center of the Anabaptist movement . As the leader of this movement, the free farmer Fritz Erbe was captured and first imprisoned in the Hausbreitenbach moated castle, then transferred to Eisenach, where he was tried and later died in the dungeon of the Wartburg . C. Kronfeld published regional and statistical information on the place in 1879: Hausbreitenbach is a village with 16 houses and 88 inhabitants.

Derelict buildings of the former estate in Hausbreitenbach

The manor on the northern outskirts was one of the largest farms in the Berka / Werra area. A few outbuildings have been preserved from the nationalized estate. After the Second World War, Hausbreitenbach was in the border area with Hesse, the district and territorial reform carried out in 1954 led to the merger with the neighboring town of Herda to Herda-Hausbreitenbach . The close connection to Herda still exists today, in the meantime the two districts have moved closer together with new buildings.

The Thuringian ordinance of February 16, 1994 resulted in the dissolution of the communities Fernbreitenbach, Gospenroda, Herda, Horschlitt and Vitzeroda and their incorporation into the city of Berka / Werra. This opened on January 1, 2019 in the city of Werra-Suhl-Tal.
