history

On February 17, 1185, the mountain village was first mentioned as "Lutenbach". The first known building in this place is the hammer mill (Ham in the Lutinbach), mentioned in 1348, near the confluence of the Lutenbach and the Truse. In 1330 the Lords of Frankenstein sold large parts of their rule to the Counts of Henneberg . The place was also of modest size in 1585 and had seven courtyards. He belonged to the office of Herrenbreitungen of the Hessian rule Schmalkalden .

The field name Hospitalsberg west of the village reminds of the once extensive property owned by the Schmalkalden Hospital , which was also financed by the income from leasing, agriculture and forestry in the village of Laudenbach.

Board for mining on the Hohe Klinge near Laudenbach

Mining began in the Middle Ages (first mentioned in 1183) from the area of ​​the Hohen Klinge to the north and continued until 1969. The ores extracted in the pits contained spate iron stone, near the surface also brown iron stone, the ore had a smooth, rounded surface, so conspicuously it was referred to as "glass heads". The brown iron stone pits “Gute Hope”, “Rebengrube”, “Klinge” and “Hübelsberg” were opened as side pits in the Laudenbach district. In the late 19th century, the mining activity increased to over 5000 t annually. The last mines equipped with modern conveyor technology were "Alter Wiebensender Stollen", "Tiefer Klinger Stollen" and "Klingengrabenstollen". Many of the historic pin trains at the Klinger Column mining field were planned in the 1920s. A small local history trail, station 15 at the rest area at the "Hohen Klinge" on the Rennsteig trail, reminds us of the past heyday of mining . It was created by the Heimatverein Bad Liebenstein .

By 1830, Laudenbach had reached a modest size of 18 houses and 100 inhabitants.

On July 1, 1950, Laudenbach came to the community of Trusetal , which later merged into Brotterode-Trusetal. Today there is a nursing home and holiday apartments in the district. A ski lift built by residents on the Judenberg is still a destination for many winter sports enthusiasts in southwest Thuringia. In 2012 the district had 300 inhabitants.

And also quickly tows the ski hiker from the valley station to the over 700 meter high Judenkopf. There is also a shallow path back to the village, so you can choose Laudenbach as your starting point if you come from the Werra Valley, for example. So thank you to everyone who works full-time or voluntarily. "
