Horngrund is a property consisting of two residential buildings in the eastern tip of the Hohenölsen district in the town of Weida in the Greiz district in Thuringia .

location

The Harnbach is a left tributary of the Weida and drains the valley floor from Hohenölsen to Clodra . Horngrund is located directly on Landesstraße 1083, about one kilometer west of Dittersdorf . A high-voltage line runs right next to the two houses.

history

After 1890, a clay pit intended for local building material requirements was laid on a narrow strip of field between the main road and the Harnbach, and a brick factory was built. The first houses for the workers were built right next to the brickworks after 1910, these buildings were originally called "Harnhäuser", derived from "Harngrund". The residents feared being mocked, so the place name was later changed to "Horngrund" with official approval. On December 31, 2013, Horngrund also became a district of this town through Hohenölsen's incorporation into Weida .
