Location of the municipality of Hornsömmern in the Unstrut-Hainich district

Hornsömmern is a municipality in the Unstrut-Hainich district in Thuringia . It belongs to the Bad Tennstedt administrative community .

geography

The village is in the immediate vicinity of the mid-summer in the southwest on the southeast slope of a 334 m high elevation. In the local area, a small stream rises, which after about 500 m unites with a trickle that comes from mid-summer to the Rechenbach . This flows to Kutzleben and belongs to the catchment area of the Unstrut . The border with the Kyffhäuserkreis runs a few 100 m north of the village . The next neighboring town "across the border" is Rohnstedt . The area around the village is hilly and used for agriculture. There are trees on the edges of the road and accompanied by the two streams. The Waidmühlstein on the Anger and the street name Waidmühlengasse allow the assumption that the brook once operated a mill.

history

A stone circle six meters in diameter was found in front of a Neolithic large stone grave. In addition, a stone slab and ceramic fragments were detected. This forecourt of the collective grave is interpreted as a place of worship and sacrifice. The finds come from the Bernburg culture .

Hornsömmern belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office of Langensalza until 1815 and, after its cession to Prussia, from 1816 to 1944 to the district of Langensalza in the province of Saxony .
