Liebstedt is a district of the rural community Ilmtal-Weinstrasse in the northeast of the Weimarer Land district .
geography
The place is located in the southeast of the Thuringian Basin , in a flat valley basin of the small Ettersberg , in the city triangle Weimar , Apolda and Buttstädt .
history
A place called "Liuprehestat" was first mentioned in the annals of the Fulda monastery in 876. However, it is not known whether it is the local Liebstedt. Liebstat was first mentioned in a document by Otto I from the year 956, which said: King Otto I gave the Servatius Monastery of Quedlinburg for his daughter Mathilde his property in Liebstedt and Oßmannstedt in Thuringia in the county of Willihelms with servants and other accessories .
Liebstedt remained in the ownership of the Quedlinburg Monastery until 1300. With 26 hooves of 40 acres each , it was transferred to the Pforta monastery on the Saale . Already four years later diess handed over the place in exchange with Lißdorf to the monastery of Hersfeld . For the first time the gentlemen "von Liebstedt" appeared in history. After the knightly family died out, the Counts of Orlamünde-Weimar , the Counts of Beichlingen and the Margraves of Meissen and Landgraves of Thuringia followed as owners and lords of Liebstedt.
Margrave Friedrich II. Von Meißen issued a certificate on October 1, 1331 at the Wartburg : "Margrave Friedrich von Meißen exchanged the Teutonic Knight Order village and Feste Liebstedt with church fiefs and all accessories for the Feste Wallhausen belonging to the order" . As further evidence of this important event, there is a stone at the Kommendegasthof with the year 1331 and the coat of arms of the Teutonic Knight Order .
Until 1809, the year the order was dissolved by Napoleon I , the order of knights ruled Liebstedt's fate, i.e. almost 480 years. Liebstedt together with the Ordensburg fell to the Kingdom of Saxony . Prussia , which became the owner of the wars of freedom ( Congress of Vienna ), ceded the village to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar in 1815 . When the state of Thuringia was founded in 1920, Liebstedt became a state property. On December 31, 2013 Liebstedt merged with other communities to form the community of Ilmtal-Weinstrasse .
Attractions
Ordensburg Liebstedt (water castle Liebstedt)
The most famous sight is the Ordensburg .
The Liebstedter Burg is a low castle with a moat. The Teutonic Knight Order set up a commandery around them , an administrative district that included Liebstedt, Goldbach and Wohlsborn. The special thing about this castle complex is the location. It was built as a Niederungsburg on one of the most important medieval long-distance trade routes, the Kupferstrasse . Their origins go back to early history. Until 1846 the road connected Jutland in the north with Venice in the south. Anyone who traveled on this road inevitably had to go through this castle. The Ordensburg is the only surviving through castle in Europe.
"Commende-Gasthof"
Through the Commandery, the Teutonic Knight Order also had the sole right to brew and sell beer. The beer was brewed in the estate and the inn was leased. Thanks to its good location on Kupferstrasse, the house was always well attended. Up to 65 horses could be stored in the stables. After the order of knights withdrew, the inn became privately owned. The last serving in the inn was in 1911.
Since the community cherished the desire to have its own inn, the community received in 1552 the "concession to serve beer and brandy as well as bowling alley" . This means that the beer could be sold on the bowling alley, the so-called " tapping " was created.
In 1854 the community meeting house was expanded. Now a landlord could live there and the licensing rights were moved here, the community inn , the "Ratskeller" , was created. In 1911 a dance hall was added, in 1955 a culture room and a new massive bowling alley. This is how the stately size for a village came about.
Gasthof Walter
In 1914 Liebstedt got an inn again. Construction was interrupted by the First World War and the “Walter” inn could only be opened in 1919.
Church and Parish
The foundation stone for today's church was laid in 1742, as the old church was badly damaged in the Thirty Years War . The new nave was only poorly completed in 1768. The tower was still missing. After 200 years the church was completed (1938) and received three bells from the Ulrich bell foundry from Apolda . The two big bells were melted down during World War II (1941).
The religious priests first lived in the Commandery (Ordensburg). The inscription in the archway of today's rectory gives the year 1590. The parish was destroyed several times by numerous large fires in Liebstedt. Today's rectory was built after the last fire in 1820.
Parish linden tree
The parish linden tree has a circumference of 7.40 m (measured 1 m above the ground). It stands on the old Kupferstrasse in a northerly direction (towards Buttstädt ) and should have fully experienced Liebstedt's 1050-year history.
Bear hill
In a south-westerly direction there are 16 linden trees on a circular hill - 12 trees stand in a circle around four trees standing in a square. It is an old sacrificial site. Excavations and finds in 1891 indicate an origin from 800 to 400 BC. Chr.
Fire signals are said to have been given from there when Slavic tribes invaded the country.
"Laura"
A landmark that has not been preserved is the small train, affectionately known as "Laura". The Weimar-Großrudestedter Railway was put into operation on July 25, 1887. During the Second World War, the rails were dismantled and the wooden sleepers were burned in the cold winters.
