history

Under the governors of Weida, land development began in the 12th century with the construction of villages and castles.

According to legend, the site, first mentioned in 1356, was built by miners who dug for silver in the Leuba valley. An associated field name "Silberloch" is attached to an abandoned quarry (today identified and protected as a geotope). Until 1918/19 Hohenölsen was divided into two parts. While the greater part of the village belonged to the Weida office , the old manor with its possessions and the Neudörfel district was an enclave of the small principality Reuss older line . The small town of Kleindraxdorf, located a few hundred meters northeast of Hohenölsen, used to be an important post office on the road from Plauen to Leipzig .

On October 1, 1922, the Russian and Weimaraner portions of the community were merged. From 1991 Hohenölsen was a member of the Leubatal administrative community . Since this was dissolved on December 31, 2013, Hohenölsen was incorporated into the city of Weida .

Culture and sights

The village church of Hohenölsen still shows Romanesque style features from the time it was built. Built at the highest point of the village, the church also served as a burial place for the noble owners of the neighboring manor. The former manor house was demolished during the GDR era, and medium-sized businesses were able to settle in the dilapidated farm building. The estate park extends on the western edge of the village. A large pond is also in the immediate vicinity of the church, surrounded by the former village school and the “Zur Rotbuche” inn. The historic town center continues in an easterly direction down the valley and consists mainly of four-sided courtyards.
