geology

The soils of the Southeast Thuringian Slate Mountains have a high proportion of fine soil and a high humus content and are therefore fertile under the climatic conditions of the Schleiz region. The enclosed Güldequelle delivers 600,000 liters of water at a constant temperature of around 11 degrees Celsius per day.

history

Löhma was first mentioned in a document under the name Lomen in 1355. The German Order founded soon after 1240, the first chapel on the spot. Instead of the previous medieval building from the 14th century, a hall church was built in 1710 .

There used to be a castle on the site of the later manor. In the former moat of the current village pond there are still remnants of the wall.

The site of the former rust mill is located 600 meters below the Gülde spring . In 1616 it was mentioned for the first time with the neighboring Löhmaer Railamühle in a registration of men of military age from the Schleiz office . Each mill was equipped with an agricultural property for further feeding of the owners. After the end of the grinding operation in the rust mill, the owner of LPG Oettersdorf joined. In 1992 a citizen from Schleiz bought the property for private use. During the GDR era, the Railamühle was a children's holiday camp run by the baked goods combine from Berlin . As early as 1953, when the property was sold, the mill was declared closed, and then children's voices rang through the valley. A planned holiday and hotel operation was not implemented. After a long vacancy, the owner changed in 2000.

Löhma was and is an agricultural place.
