history
The hamlet was first mentioned in a document on January 20, 1394.
The place Kratzeroda is one of the last clearing settlements in the Gerstungen area. In the local chronicle of Herda a monk Erkenbert Craz is mentioned, who served the Hersfeld monastery . Craz instructed farmers to establish a few farms in this side valley of the Werra , which still belonged to the Hausbreitenbach office . The valley was deserted before the 16th century, and the Kratzeroda desert became the property of the noble family von Reckrodt, who were sitting in Herda Castle . They had Kratzeroda rebuilt as a farmyard; three farmsteads were built by the 19th century, which were taken over by the von Herda family after the von Reckrodt family died out in 1703 . Kratzeroda was admitted to the parish and started school in Herda, the place of jurisdiction was Gerstungen. Until the land reform, the three farmsteads formed the Kratzeroda Vorwerk for Herda Castle. In the GDR era, Kratzeroda was located in the border area that extended to the outskirts of Oberellen, and visitors needed a pass. The remote courtyards were given to new farmers, the old, traditional half-timbered buildings gradually fell into disrepair, demolished and replaced by solid structures. On April 13, 1962 the Förtha – Gerstungen railway line was inaugurated, which bypassed the German area around Herleshausen . The construction of this railway line was necessary for strategic reasons and was associated with enormous costs. Between the Werra crossing at Gerstungen and Oberellen, a connecting road and parallel to it the actual railway line had to be sunk into the rock. The railway line was dismantled in the early 1990s.
Today there is a poultry farm and a boarding house in Kratzeroda. The place can also be reached via signposted hiking trails, a junction of the Sallmannshäuser Rennsteig leads past the place to the east.
