Kühnhausen is a district of the city of Erfurt in Thuringia .

geography

Kühnhausen is located on the Gera in the Thuringian Basin at an altitude of about 160 to 180 meters north of Erfurt. The surrounding area is flat and characterized by agricultural land and gravel mining in the north-east. The threshold castle rises to the west . In Kühnhausen the Weißfrauenbach flows into the Gera. Above Kühnhausen, the Mahlgera branches off from the Gera and flows on to Elxleben. The inner-town banks of the Mahlgera were shaped for a long time by the town's water mills, from which the name of the Gera tributary can ultimately be derived. Neighboring places are Gispersleben in the south, Tiefthal in the west, Elxleben in the north and Mittelhausen in the east.

history

Kühnhausen was first mentioned in a document between 1141 and 1143. Until 1516, most of the land around the town and a monastery property belonged to the Neuwerkkloster in Erfurt. After that, the town and the surrounding area came into the possession of the city ​​of Erfurt . Kühnhausen was incorporated into the Erfurt country area (Gispersleben Office). The oldest surviving chronicle begins in 1711 with the construction of the Porta Coeli church ("Gate to Heaven"). In 1802 Kühnhausen came with the Erfurt area to Prussia and between 1807 and 1813 to the French principality of Erfurt . With the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the place came back to Prussia and in 1816 it was incorporated into the Erfurt district in the Prussian province of Saxony , to which it belonged until 1944. From 1952 Kühnhausen belonged to the Erfurt-Land district in the Erfurt district . With the Thuringian regional reform in 1994, this was incorporated into Erfurt, so that Kühnhausen is one of the northernmost districts of the Thuringian capital today.
