history

At the beginning of the 9th century Kindelbrück was first mentioned as Kindelbruccun in a list of the goods of the Hersfeld Monastery, built by Archbishop Lullus († 786) of Mainz .

The name Kindelbrück has developed over the course of history via the names "Kindelbruccum", "Kindelbrucken" and "Kindelbruck" to become today's Kindelbrück. The name -brück stands for a crossing or a ford on the valley through which the Wipper flows. The first settler at this crossing is said to have been a person named "Chintila". The first settlement, which is said to have been near today's Upper Town, grew and over the years the name changed from Chintila Brück to Kindelbrück. Other sources say that Kindel stands for the name König and the name Kindelbrück arose from the name Königsbrücke.

The village of Kindelbrück was granted town charter on March 12, 1291 by Albrecht II . The documentary award took place at the Wartburg near Eisenach. Eisenach was the first to receive this privilege among the landgrave cities of Thuringia . The Eisenach law was later entrusted to Gotha . In 1265 Landgrave Albrecht Weißensee granted Gotha rights. Kindelbrück received the rights of Weißensee in 1291.

Kindelbrück belonged to the administrative office of Weißensee until 1815 . The decisions of the Congress of Vienna led to Prussia and in 1816 the district Weissensee in the administrative district of Erfurt the province of Saxony assigned to which he belonged until 1944th

During the rule of National Socialism , 17 Polish forced laborers arrived in Kindelbrück in 1940 and by 1944 the number of forced laborers had increased to at least 85 people. These came from Poland , Ukraine , Belarus , Russia , France , the Czech Republic and Croatia . There was also a work detail with French prisoners of war who had to work in the suitcase factory. Five deaths have been recorded, all of them children of forced laborers. The 22-year-old Polish woman Pascha Woloczyna was pregnant when she arrived in Kindelbrück in March 1943 and was forced to have an abortion.

It is testified that the Keitel family, who listened to the radio with Polish slave laborers in the living room, were denounced and sentenced to concentration camp imprisonment. Because of her friendship with a slave laborer, a resident was publicly shaved and abused.

Kindelbrück has been part of the administrative association of the same name since January 1st, 1991. On January 1, 2019, the member communities of Bilzingsleben , Frömmstedt , Kannawurf and the city of Kindelbrück merged to form the rural community of Kindelbrück, which in turn belongs to the Kindelbrück administrative community. Kindelbrück's town charter was lost.

Culture and sights

St. Ulrich town church
town hall

Kindelbrück owns a Heimatlied that is performed at events and festivals, it was written and composed by Paul Rödiger. The male choir "Eintracht" has a long tradition. The music group Happy Idiots , founded by six young people , is still working on its success. A loose association of residents has come together to form the "Ascension Command Kindelbrück" and is intensively concerned with the history of Kindelbrück.

  • The town church of St. Ulrich stands on the market square, it was built in several construction phases since 1440. The polygonal closed choir is the oldest part of the building; inside there is a ribbed vault. The striking tower was started in 1501 and stands on the north side. After the city fire of 1761, the city had to wait a long time for the church to be rebuilt. It took place in 1782–1784. Only a few components from previous buildings can still be found in the original place, such as the lancet-shaped windows in the north wall of the choir, next to a sacrament niche and the remains of Gothic tracery windows between the buttresses.
  • The town hall is located (Markt 1) on the south side of the market square and represents a new construction of the council building first mentioned around 1500, which was lost in the great city fire. The current building is a two-storey plastered representative building with a mansard roof and a roof tower.
  • The town fortifications of Kindelbrück protected the town since the beginning of the 16th century. Large parts of the former four city gates, numerous towers, the curtain wall and the trenches in front have been preserved to the present day and are under monument protection.
  • The Gründelsloch is a legendary natural monument in the city hallway. It was created on March 3, 1611 as a sinkhole alongside two other sinkholes that were already filled with water. The pouring of the karst cave spring is enormous with 245 liters of water per second. The sinkhole lake has grown steadily and now has an elliptical shape with an extension of 40 meters in north-south direction and 25 meters in east-west direction. The source pot was examined by recreational divers from the GST in the 1970s; it is located at a depth of around 8.5 m on the bottom of the lake, which usually has clear water, occasional green colorations are caused by algae. In 2005, on the 125th anniversary of the fire brigade, the Gründelsloch was dived again by two divers from the DLRG Sömmerda and by Roberto Chudzinski, a resident of the town of Kindelbrück. The depth was measured down to the bottom of the deepest source, the largest of 3 sources at 9.80 m. The source temperature is also 5 ° C.
  • The landscape can be explored through bike paths. They run from the outskirts to Riethgen along the game reserve, to Frömmstedt and Bilzingsleben along the Steinrinne and to Kannawurf along the main road to the gravel pit.
  • A war memorial commemorates the dead in wars. In the First World War , Kindelbrück had 54 dead and 7 missing to mourn, in the Second World War 138 dead and 2 missing were complained.
  • A small local museum collects and preserves the evidence of the city's history.
