geography

church

Langenschade is located in the Saalfeld Heath area . It is a typical Waldhufendorf , which extends 7 km long in the valley and has grown together with Reichenbach on the Ostend. That is why Reichenbach was incorporated into Langenschade in 1949. The county road 121 and state road 1107 connecting the former places with Saalfeld and the outside world. A water catchment area and mountains overgrown with forest require special living conditions. The Schusterstieg from Rudolstadt to Pößneck leads through the village.

history

Langenschade was first mentioned in a document in 1074. The first mention of Reichenbach in a document took place on March 10, 1279, when clearing the settlement of clearing islands began. Hence the name of the place. Schada = shadow. There are clearing islands in the valley.

A church is mentioned as early as the 11th century, the current church dates from the 15th century.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality Reichenbach b. Saalfeld incorporated.

On April 9, 1994, Langenschade was incorporated.

Auerwild rearing station

The only German rearing station for capercaillie was created on the outskirts of Langenschade and opened at the end of 2012. The system, which consists of 10 aviaries, is intended to help ensure the continued existence of the remaining German capercaillie population, since the reproduction and maintenance of the population in the natural habitat is no longer guaranteed. As early as the 1970s, attempts were made to save the group of 300 wood grouse in Thuringia, but despite considerable efforts, this failed. At the moment there are probably only a dozen capercaillies left in the whole of Thuringia.
