Hummelstedt
Hummelstedt is a desert in the Saale valley between Neuengönna and Golmsdorf in the Saale-Holzland district in Thuringia .
The village was mentioned in a document together with a mill and adjacent vineyard in 1209. At that time it belonged to the Porstendorfer property of the Pforte monastery. Gotthard Neumann was able to prove that the settlement was located on an alluvial cone on the left bank of the Gönnerbach , the so-called Black Field, not far from the Saale and was abandoned around the middle of the 13th century on the initiative of the Portese monks.
Archaeological finds indicate a settlement on both sides of the Gönnerbach from the middle Latène period to the late imperial period . There is also evidence of an early to high medieval Slavic settlement. In this context, an important Saale ford is to be considered, on the occasion of which numerous long-distance traffic routes from the west ( Saale-Ilm-Platte ) and east ( Gleistal and Tautenburger Forst) were bundled here. On the other bank of the Saale near Golmsdorf , a settlement of a similar period was found.
