Klings is a district of the town of Kaltennordheim in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district in Thuringia .
geography
Geographical location
Klings is located in the southern part of the Thuringian Rhön , also known as the Vordere Rhön, and is part of the Rhön Biosphere Reserve .
mountains
The landscape around Klings is determined by the mountains and valleys of the Vorderen Rhön. The highest point in the municipality is the Pinzler ( 661 m above sea level ). The mountains and hills Sauergehäu ( 658.9 m above sea level ), Windberg ( 608.3 m above sea level ) and Höhn ( 510 m above sea level ) are also remarkable .
Rivers
The name Klingser Bach was derived from the place name Klings; the 3,000 m long source stream flows into the Felda near Diedorf . The water flow of the Klingser Bach was sufficient to be able to operate the Lindenmühle on the northern edge of the village and the former cherry mill.
history
Prehistory and early history
Already 3000 years ago, in the Middle Bronze Age , people of the "Fulda-Werra-Gruppe" settled in the area of Klings and Diedorf, as archaeological finds from 1928 on the Windberg confirm. They were followed by Celtic settlers , who covered the Rhön with mighty fortifications, including the Wallburg auf dem Umpfen near Diedorf.
middle Ages
The place Klings belonged to the Franconian Gau Tullifeld in the early Middle Ages . Initially, the Feldatal belonged to the sphere of influence of the diocese of Würzburg , but after 1100 the imperial abbey of Fulda became the territorial lord in this area. As early as 869, the Fulda monastery was given a hoof "in Clingison". Klings initially belonged to the Dermbach court , from 1300 to the castle district of the Fulda castle Fischberg , which was located on the mountain Höhn. At that time an important trade route led from Fulda via Diedorf to Schmalkalden . Prince Abbot Heinrich VI. von Hohenberg initiated the further expansion of the Fischberg to the official seat around 1325; as early as 1398 the Fischberg office was used as a pledge . From 1511 it came to the Counts of Henneberg . In 1512 Fischberg was conquered in a feud by the knight Ernst von Brandenstein.
Other powers also exercise their influence. In 1334 the Lords of Frankenstein sold property in Klingsen, which the knight Johann von Buttlar managed as a fiefdom for them , to the diocese of Würzburg. In a feud against the Counts of Henneberg , Klings and the neighboring towns of Ober- and Unteralba near Dermbach were attacked, looted and burned down by a troop of horsemen with the participation of the knights von Hausen, von Hopfgarten and von Herbilstatt .
Early modern age
Alienated from the direct influence of the Fulda monastery, the Reformation was carried out as early as 1550 in the area around Tann . A landslide or landslide occurred near Klings in 1561; a contemporary leaflet informs about this. The place was badly affected in the Thirty Years' War : in 1631 Klings had 60 houses and 65 inhabitants, after the war (1659) there were only 25 houses and 26 inhabitants.
As part of the Henneberg inheritance, the Fischberg office went to the Duchy of Saxony . In 1707 the Abbey of Fulda got the office of Fischberg back and immediately began a process of recatholicization ; The Zella provost's office, built in the neighboring village in 1718, and the newly created monastery in Dermbach played an important role.
19th century
In 1803, the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss brought about the dissolution of the ecclesiastical and imperial knighthood territories in the Rhön. The result was the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt . With the territorial changes after the Vienna Congress of 1814/15, the Dermbach area again became part of the Eisenacher Oberland and in 1815 came to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach , district court district of Kaltennordheim.
In 1879, based on the 1875 census , statistical information on the location was published for the first time. That year Klings had 76 houses with 384 inhabitants. The size of the fields was 580.5 ha, of which courtyards and gardens 5.3 ha, meadows 194.6 ha, arable land 208.8 ha, forest 35.3 ha, ponds, streams and rivers 0.12 ha. Trifte, wasteland and orchards accounted for 136.2 hectares. The village had a herd of 12 horses, 226 cattle, 116 sheep, 57 goats and 24 pigs. A major fire in 1874 destroyed 70 percent of the village. The current church was built in 1802. Agricultural yields were low due to the harsh climatic conditions and the stony soils, so grazing was preferred. Linen weaving was also operated in the village in the 19th century. A quarry and a gravel pit were built on the Höhn north of the village. The construction of the Feldabahn enabled a certain economic upswing.
GDR time
During the administrative reforms in 1950 and 1952, the place Klings was incorporated into the district of Suhl and the newly created district of Bad Salzungen . During the GDR era, the community was located in the restricted area on the border with the Federal Republic of Germany and could therefore only be reached by the surrounding residents with a pass. An LPG was set up in the village .
present
In 2013, Klings was incorporated into Kaltennordheim, and the Upper Feldatal administrative association was dissolved at the same time.
As part of the Thuringia regional reform in 2018 and 2019 , the city of Kaltennordheim sought to incorporate the neighboring communities to the south of Aschenhausen , Kaltensundheim , Kaltenwestheim , Melpers , Oberkatz and Unterweid on January 1, 2019 and accepted a move from the Wartburg district to the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district , which was implemented with the entry into force of the Second Act on the Voluntary Reorganization of Municipalities belonging to the District on January 1, 2019.
