history

Lengröden was first mentioned in a document in 1461. The former manor was owned by the von Buttlar family , among others , whose family coat of arms can still be seen on a stone in the main building. For centuries, however, Lengröden belonged to the von Nesselröden , temporarily also from Uslar (today: Uslar-Gleichen ) and from the 17th to the 18th century half of the "Burgraves of Kirchberg". Lengröden's story was always closely linked to Krauthausen. The place belonged like this to the office of Creuzburg in the Duchy of Saxony-Eisenach or Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach .

During and after the Second World War , Gut Lengröden initially belonged to the property of the city of Eisenach; the city ​​administration headed by Karl Hermann used it to accommodate refugees and displaced persons. At the same time, the previous owner was expropriated for political reasons. In the turmoil of the post-war period, the property was repeatedly the target of acts of sabotage, and the barn building on the street was also destroyed by flames and cattle theft.

In the mid-1950s, as part of the collectivization of agriculture in the GDR , the property that had remained undamaged in the Second World War was assigned to a Creuzburg LPG and run down by it. The dilapidated buildings of the manor now house apartments and an antique shop .

Opposite the manor was the Untermühle in the 1960s; today there are two houses there on the Madel. The natural stone bridge formerly located on the Madel was demolished around 1985 when the federal highway 7 was straightened and expanded. The bridge, made of yellow sandstone, was probably built by the master builder Gottfried Heinrich Krohne , as he often worked on ducal orders in Creuzburg from 1741 to 1748 and also had to renovate the damaged Werra bridge with the Liborius chapel there.

The old trees to the east of the main building are reminiscent of the park located here. About 500 m east of the estate, on the edge of the Lengröder wood above the Molkengraben, was the Buttlar hereditary burial of the landlords, of which only sparse remains can be seen today.
