location
Kospoda is located south of Neustadt an der Orla and Arnshaugk at the foot of the northern roof of the southeast Thuringian slate mountains at the transition to the Orlasenke . The Orla river, the Gera – Saalfeld railway line and the 281 federal road with a connection at Moderwitz to the 9 federal motorway run through the valley .
history
Kospoda is of Sorbian origin. The local history can be traced back to 1120. That year, Count Wichmann gave away various goods in Orlagau for the construction of the Kaltenborn monastery near Sangerhausen. Among them was the village of Kospoda. The income from these and other goods was used to build and maintain the Kaltenborn monastery. A small medieval manor was the predecessor of the later manor house of the manor . The present church was built in 1618 from the chapel of the manor . The earliest owners of the Kospoda estate are the lords of Kospoth , who chose the place as their ancestral home and whose family can later be found via Schleiz to Plauen in Vogtland and Cospeda near Jena. Since the 13th century, the Lords of Kospoda were mentioned in documents from the bailiffs of Weida. The villages of Kospoda and Meilitz belonged to the headquarters. The owners changed several times as a result. In 1417 Heinrich von Hain received an estate in Meilitz from the possession of the Lords of Kospoda. The name Kospoda allows several interpretations; the most convincing is the derivation of hospodar (Lord). Meilitz could come from Mil , a proper name.
The places of the municipality were first mentioned in a document as follows:
- Kospoda: April 16, 1120
- Burgwitz: May 1, 1294
- Meilitz: February 22, 1320

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on July 15, 1994 by the Thuringian State Administration Office.
Blazon : “Split in the drawbar cut; above a silver deer head in blue, below in front in green a silver horseshoe, below in back in silver a green linden leaf. “The deer stands for the district of Kospoda. At the express request of the residents of the Kospoda community, the symbol of the von Kospoth family was not used, but the Hirsch family, who took over the manor in 1894. This family has made a name for itself by financing a number of building projects that shape the location, but also by the pressure of the community chronicle. Several prehistoric horseshoes were found in the district of Meilitz; therefore a horseshoe was chosen as the coat of arms symbol for Meilitz. The linden tree is the natural landmark of the Burgwitz district. A linden leaf marks the linden tree and this district.
The coat of arms was designed by Manfred Fischer from Goßwitz.
