geography
The district of Suhl-Land bordered in a clockwise direction in the northwest on the districts of Schmalkalden , Gotha , Arnstadt , Ilmenau , the city district of Suhl (from 1967), Hildburghausen and Meiningen .
history
The district was founded with the administrative reform in the GDR on July 25, 1952 and existed until 1994. The district town was initially Suhl . On May 12, 1967, Suhl became a district. The district was renamed Suhl-Land and its administrative headquarters moved to Zella-Mehlis . Neighboring districts were Arnstadt , Ilmenau , Hildburghausen , Meiningen and Schmalkalden .
The district of Suhl was essentially formed from the district of Schleusingen (renamed the district of Suhl since 1946), whose district office had already been moved from Schleusingen to Suhl in 1929. With the exception of the places Vesser , Schmiedefeld am Rennsteig and Stützerbach (all in the Ilmenau district), the Schleusingen district was completely integrated into the Suhl district. In addition there were Gehlberg from the Arnstadt district , Oberhof from the Gotha district and the formerly independent town of Zella-Mehlis ( Meiningen district ) until 1936 .
The most important economic sectors in the district were the industrial companies in Suhl (until 1967) and Zella-Mehlis, tourism along the Rennsteig and agriculture on the south-western edge of the district. The most important traffic arteries were the F 247 and F 280 and the Neudietendorf – Ritschenhausen railway line .
On May 17, 1990, the Suhl-Land district was renamed the Suhl district. Until October 2, 1990, the district of Suhl belonged to the district of Suhl , then to the state of Thuringia. When the Thuringian district reform was carried out on July 1, 1994 , the southeastern part of the district with the town of Schleusingen came to the Hildburghausen district , the northwestern part came to the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district and the community of Gehlberg to the Ilm district . Only a few places that bordered directly on the city of Suhl were incorporated there. Suhl remained an independent city.
