history

Kießling is said to have been mentioned for the first time on November 10, 1181. The patrimonial jurisdiction over the place was until 1851 with the manor Kießling .

The area around the village is still used today for agriculture and forestry . Until the Thirty Years War and reduced until the 18th and 19th centuries. Iron and copper ore were mined in the Kießlinger Flur into the 19th century . Bad luck was won in the forests at that time , which is why the inhabitants are jokingly called pitch scratches to this day .

The previously independent community was incorporated into Blankenstein in 1924 . In the course of the closure of the inner-German border , the district was added to the municipality of Harra in 1961. Until the fall of the Wall, Kießling belonged to the so-called restricted zone , so that non-residents were only allowed to stay with prior approval (pass). This also affected Harraer, since Harra itself had not belonged to the restricted area since 1972.
