Leutenthal is a district of the rural community Ilmtal-Weinstrasse in the north of the Weimarer Land district .
location
The agricultural town of Leutenthal is located about three kilometers southeast of Buttelstedt , and about 37 kilometers southwest of Schulpforta , the location of the former Pforte monastery. Most of the residential development is on both sides of the Scherkonde . Over 80 percent of the former community area is agricultural land, 90 percent of which is arable land .
history
Leutenthal was first mentioned in 1250 as Ludental on the occasion of the sale of land to the Pforta monastery by the Wechterswinkel monastery . Further ownership in the local area is proven in 1341 for the monastery Heusdorf (near Apolda ). In the course of the Reformation , the monastery property became sovereign property in 1552, but was given back as a fief about a decade later. The manor that arose from this was dissolved in 1842, and its living spaces and agricultural land were sold to farmers. In addition to the predominant farming activity, there was a mill as early as 1541 and extensive woad cultivation in the 16th century . In 1843 an oil mill and mainly small craft businesses worked in Leutenthal.
The places Leutenthal and Sachsenhausen belonged to the manor Leutenthal . The two places together with the three neighboring places of the Kommende Liebstedt (Liebstedt, Wohlsborn , Goldbach ) formed an exclave of the Eckartsberga district belonging to the Electorate of Saxony . Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the exclave came to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . While the three villages of the Kommende Liebstedt were incorporated into the Weimar office, Leutenthal and Sachsenhausen came to the Buttstädt office in 1817 , which was opened in the Apolda administrative district of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach in 1850 . In 1920 Leutenthal came to the state of Thuringia.
On January 1, 2019, the community of Leutenthal was incorporated into the rural community of Ilmtal-Weinstrasse, previously it was part of the administrative community of Northern Weimar .
