Heinrichs is a district of Suhl in southern Thuringia . It has about 1500 inhabitants.

location

Heinrichs is located in southern Thuringia in the Hasel valley and was incorporated into the city of Suhl in 1936 .

history

Heinrichs is first mentioned in a document in 1111, even before Suhl was evidently mentioned in 1318.

As early as the 12th century, there is evidence of a chapel in Ortisei, which was built on the outskirts in the 15th century. In 1452 construction began on the St. Ulrich Church , which was consecrated in 1503 as the oldest church in Suhl. The church, which was originally built in the late Gothic style, was completely renovated from 1990 onwards. For the restoration she received the Thuringian Monument Protection Prize 2006 in summer 2006 . A special feature is the crucifix from 1340, which shows Christ with arms crossed in front of his chest (as a sign of the deepest expression of mercy ). The Protestant parish currently has around 1,800 members (the Suhl districts Albrechts , Mäbendorf , Dietzhausen and Wichtshausen also belong to the community ).

The Town Hall of Henry was 1,551 at the street market with a massive basement built and cellars. During the Thirty Years War the place was sacked by the Croatian cavalry . In the course of the reconstruction, the half-timbered upper floors of the town hall were erected in the Henneberg-Franconian style with gables in 1657. In addition, from the middle of the 17th century, eaves-standing residential buildings with decorative timber-framed facades in the Franconian style were built along the creek and the street. The town hall in particular shows what wealth Heinrichs must have once housed.

From the 16th century onwards, the life of the Heinrichser was shaped by ore mining and iron smelting . In addition, Heinrichs Suhl tried to dispute the monopoly position in the manufacture of rifles.

The place had the rights of a patch . For the further growth of the place, Duke Moritz Wilhelm von Sachsen-Zeitz awarded it on August 5, 1702 three annual markets on the first Tuesday after Candlemas, on Tuesday after Rogate and on Tuesday after the birth of Mary.

At the beginning of the 18th century, a small Jewish community emerged in Heinrichs . In 1811 it consisted of 17 families in around ten houses. Another house housed a synagogue with an integrated school and teacher's apartment. A Jewish cemetery has existed since 1720 . The last burial was in 1932. Today it is a listed memorial .

In 1815 the place came from the Kingdom of Saxony to the Kingdom of Prussia . At that time Heinrichs had 1009 inhabitants.

In 1892 the self-help consumer association was founded in Heinrichs . Its first managing director, until 1913, was Hugo Bästlein .

The largest employer until 1990 was the vehicle and hunting weapons factory (formerly Simson-Werke ), where, among other things, the legendary " Schwalbe " was produced. In recent years the old town center has been extensively renovated and turned into a tourist attraction. The historic town hall in Heinrichs in particular has been lavishly restored and has been home to the adult education center since 2013.
