geography

Lausnitz is located near Neustadt an der Orla and is the immediate neighboring village of Kolba, a little to the west, and the northeastern manor Positz . The community is located in the Orlatal the southern foothills of the northern red sandstone foothills of the Thuringian Slate Mountains. The federal road 281 leads a few hundred meters south of the village. After the road, the Leipzig – Saalfeld / Saale railway follows . The area around the village is docked and has sand, loess and clay soils. Ponds loosen up the corridor, which is bordered in the north by the forest towards Langendembach .

history

The first documentary mention of Lausnitz was on June 8, 1266. Lausnitz belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office of Arnshaugk until 1815 and after its assignment, decided at the Congress of Vienna , came with most of the Neustädter Kreis to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach .

At least since the 15th century, there were Lausnitz estates : to 1945 more than 200 years in the family of Wurmb , before 250 years owned by the family of stone . The “Untere Hof” had a manor house called the “castle” in the village , with rococo furniture, a collection of Meissen porcelain and a valuable library. This included a park in the style of the Bayreuther Hof. The last male owner, the farmer Lutze von Wurmb, fell as an officer in the Second World War in 1943. Although the family had been classified as “anti-fascist” in the Soviet Zone , the widow with three children was expropriated without compensation in autumn 1945 and expelled from her property. When Frau von Wurmb was threatened with arrest, she and the children fled to West Germany in December 1945. When the (in 1945 15-year-old) daughter Maria von Below (born von Wurmb) was back in Lausnitz after the fall of the 1990s, she described her experiences as follows: “Lands and buildings have deteriorated, art treasures, furniture and stolen pictures ”.
