Ibenhain is a district of the town of Waltershausen in the Gotha district in Thuringia .

geography

Ibenhain is located on the northern edge of the Thuringian Forest in the town of Waltershausen, about eleven kilometers southwest of Gotha and 1160 m (as the crow flies) southeast of the market square (church). The district lies at the foot of the 417.2 m high Geizenberg to the southwest .

history

Ibenhain was first mentioned in a document in 1186. Ibenhain was originally a street village on the old connection from Walterhausen to Friedrichroda and Reinhardsbrunn . In 1394 the place was sold to the city council of Waltershausen. In the following period he belonged to the Tenneberg Office , which had belonged to the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha since 1640 .

In the 20th century the village of Ibenhain grew into the town of Waltershausen. The development also merges relatively seamlessly with the neighboring village of Schnepfenthal-Rödichen to the south . Only between Ibenhain and the northeastern village of Wahlwinkel are there any larger agricultural areas. The town center is on the local road and is characterized by old farmsteads. Adjacent houses and gardens were built on almost all sides; To the south, an old new housing estate was built on Franz-Mehring-Straße in the 1950s / 60s, followed by the Waltershausen prefabricated building area in the 1970s and 80s .

Ibenhain was incorporated into Waltershausen during the first municipal reform after the founding of the state of Thuringia in the early 1920s (December 1, 1922). The inauguration of the Thuringian Forest Railway in 1929 gave Ibenhain a boost in development and paved the way for the creation of new residential areas along the tram routes that have since connected Ibenhain with the Waltershausen train station, Tabarz and Gotha .

Attractions

The small village church of our dear women dates from the 18th century. It was built on a previous chapel from the 14th century. The current shape of the chapel, built on a surface area of ​​six by ten meters, dates back to 1802, when it was extended to the east and given the high mansard roof. The disproportionately powerful roof turret on the slated west gable has a pointed roof with a tower ball and weather vane and is also slated, while the nave is covered with red tiles. The inside shows a circumferential double gallery and a mirror vault. Fortunately, the church was largely spared during World War II.
