Kuhfraß is a district of the municipality of Uhlstädt-Kirchhasel in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district in Thuringia .

Geography and geology

From Kirchhasel via Oberhasel , the district road 18 leads continuously uphill in the forest to the Kuhfraß district, 300 m above sea level. This is where the Kochberg plateau begins on the Saale-Ilmplatte and the foothills of the Hexengrund ends. There, soils remote from the groundwater prevail on weathered shell limestone .

history

The first documentary mention of the hamlet took place in 1428. The hamlet was formerly a Vorwerk of the Großkochberg manor . This was inherited by the Parry family in 1825 and converted into Hirschhügel Castle from 1835 to 1838 . She was buried in the Hirschhügel burial chapel. In 1892, Count Henckel von Donnersmarck inherited the castle. He converted it into a children's home in 1941. After the Second World War, according to the agreements of the victorious powers, resettlers and poor peasants were provided with land and inventory from the expropriated masses. The castle became a retirement home and in 1978 a psychiatric nursing home.
