history

The later Emperor Heinrich II gave the rule of Saalfeld in 1010 or 1012 to his son-in-law, the Lorraine Count Palatine Ehrenfried (called Ezzo ). His daughter Richeza , Queen of Poland , bequeathed the rule and Orlagau in 1063 to the Archdiocese of Cologne . The Archbishop Anno II of Cologne founded the Benedictine Abbey of Saalfeld in 1071 . At the highest point of the Saalfeld rulership, the parish church village of Hoheneiche was created under the patronage of the abbey. The Benedictines of Saalfeld chose a widely visible place as the ecclesiastical center of the Saalfeld Höhe. It was an important step in their missionary work in the area previously sparsely populated by Sorbs . The Benedictines had previously made the area arable and founded numerous chapels.

The area around Hoheneiche and the city of Saalfeld including the castle was transferred to the empire in a barter transaction during the reign of Emperor Friedrich I (HRR) ("Barbarossa"). In 1208 the imperial property was pledged to the Counts of Schwarzburg by King Otto IV , bought by the Margraves of Meißen in 1389 , and in 1563 the properties of the former Abbey ( Reformation ) Saalfeld were added.

Hoheneiche remained the clerical center over the Reformation and still had seven branches in 1545 : Volkmersdorf (today Volkmannsdorf ), Witzendorf, Bernsdorf, Geschwende (today Kleingeschwenda ), Arnsgereuth , Eyba and Reichmannsdorf. The latter remained without a church or school until 1595 and the pastor of Hoheneiche had a preaching assignment there until 1674. Between 1527 and 1563 Eyba separated and from then on belonged to the church of the Schwarzburger .

The Evangelical Lutheran Michaelskirche in Hoheneiche was rebuilt between 1629 and 1697. The interior was designed between 1700 and 1720 before the organ could be inaugurated in 1787. From 1997 to 2008 the church was renovated.

On the way to the battle of Jena and Auerstedt on October 14, 1806, the French passed through the town two days earlier, with which the Heerstraße through the town attracted the greatest attention to date.

In 2011 there were 29 inhabitants in Hoheneiche. The rectory for the parishes is located in the village, the rectory itself is in Kleingeschwenda. The YMCA Thuringia holds events all year round in two guest houses and in summer on the camp site.
