Kohlbachshof is a deserted area in the municipality of Schleid in the Wartburg district in Thuringia .

location

The Vierseithof was only about 300 meters away from the Hessian-Thuringian border. The Thuringian town of Andenhausen is located about two kilometers to the south-east , the district of Zitters belonging to Schleid is 3.5 kilometers to the northwest, and Theobaldshof in Hesse is 1.5 kilometers south. The place name was borrowed from the Kohlbach, a spring brook that drains into the Ulster .

history

The settlement of Kohlbach was first mentioned in a document in 1418. The Kohlbachhof was counted as part of the place Zitters and belonged to the Geisa office . In today's corridor of Zitters there were several remote farms in the 14th century: Merles, Krollhof, Köllershof, the Kohlbachshof, Roppelshof, Hof-Zitters, a desolate farm on the Kuhberg, and the same on the Hochrain are mentioned. During the Thirty Years War, the Kohlbachtal was hit several times by plague and attacks. The first farms were given up. Because of the small population of Zitters, school lessons took place in the neighboring village of Kranlucken , the schoolhouse there was built in 1759 and replaced by a new building in 1870. In 1920, at the request of the residents, Zitters was granted a one-class school for the community school, which had 16 students. This eliminated the arduous walk to the neighboring towns, especially in the snowy winter months. Since 1968, all pupils in the Kohlbachtal have been schooled and taught in Geisa. In 1938, the separation and official land consolidation was carried out in the places in the Kohlbachtal. Its aim was to rearrange the agricultural areas in order to end the strong and uneconomical fragmentation of the fields that had developed over the centuries. At the same time, the construction of forest and field paths was ordered as a job creation measure. Most of the road construction that had begun had to be completed by forced laborers in the Second World War. The separation therefore did not end until 1947 and at the same time had implemented the land reform aimed at in the GDR. The farmers of Zitters had to unite in the LPG Rossberg around 1960. As a result of the proximity to the border, the farmsteads near the border were relocated, laboriously cultivated arable land was abandoned and designated as pasture.

As part of the " Ungeziefer " campaign, the first family had to move away from the Kohlbachshof in 1952, in 1972 the forced relocation was completed and the farm was razed.
