The core of the stable house is dated to 1709. The single-storey saddle roof construction is characterized by a block construction with hook leaf connections and decorated beam heads. The building is divided into a living and stable area. The entrance to the enclosed living area with living room and several chambers is on the eaves side. The hall is arranged in the middle.
Kirchstrasse 10
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Marien stands on a church hill. Its core goes back to a chapel that was a branch church of the Rothenkirchen parish in the high Middle Ages . In 1493, the Bamberg bishop Heinrich III. Groß von Trockau incorporated the independent parish of St. Marien in Heinersdorf. In the same year a late Gothic church was built as a choir tower church. From 1626 to 1630 a renovation followed with a new construction of the nave, which was raised by a half-timbered floor in 1748 and redesigned inside in the Rococo style. Between 1821 and 1826, the windows were enlarged and the ceiling and galleries redesigned. In 1891/91 a staircase was added and a historical restoration was carried out before the late Baroque version was restored in 1963. The hall church has a drawn-in, straight, closed choir and a choir tower with a Welsch hood and lantern. The outer walls are slated in places. The baroque interior is spanned by a flat ceiling. A two-story gallery stands on three sides of the wall.
Marktstrasse 2
The former inn "Weiß" was built at the beginning of the 19th century at a prominent location at the northern end of the Angers. An extension followed in 1885. In 1958 the hall and club room on the upper floor were converted into an apartment. The eaves side house has a massive ground floor above which there is an upper floor with a half-timbered facade and a gable roof. The first floor facade originally had plaster squares.
Tettaustraße 3
A rectory was built for the first time in the 16th century. This was replaced in 1772/73 by a new building based on plans by Johann Andreas Brückner from Gefell . Renovation followed in 1849 and the interior was rebuilt in 1910. The building method and spatial structure correspond to those of large farmsteads in the region. The building has a massive ground floor above which there is an upper floor with a plastered half-timbered facade and a mansard hipped roof . The entrance to the hallway with a staircase from 1910 is on the eaves side. The barrel-vaulted masonry cellar is assigned to the first building from the 16th century.
Tettaustraße 5
The house of a larger homestead was built around 1800. In 1910 the interior was converted and in the 1960s / 1970s a renovation. During that time, parts of the outbuildings were also demolished. The two-story eaves side building has a massive ground floor above which an upper floor with a half-timbered construction and a mansard hipped roof is arranged. The ground floor was divided into areas with a restaurant and a barn. The attic was used as a granary and warehouse. A neighboring cellar house from the 19th century features a barrel-vaulted cellar, a block construction on the upper floor and a gable roof .
Welitscher Strasse
Heinersdorf was right on the inner-German border . In 1952 the first barbed wire fence was erected to secure the border. A double metal mesh fence followed between 1970 and 1972, which was finally replaced in 1982 by a wall made of precast concrete with an earth observation point. Fragments of the GDR border security systems are still there. This also includes a stream dam in the Tettau, which was built in the 1970s and renewed in the early 1980s with a regulation based on the water level.
Starting in 1821, the Stein am Sperbersbach marked the border between the territories of the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen and the Kingdom of Bavaria as the new Dreiherrenstein . On the Thuringian side, it shows the Saxon diamond with a ducal crown and the letters SM for Sachsen-Meiningen and AS for Amt Sonneberg . The other two sides have the Bavarian diamond with a royal crown and heart shield as well as the letters KB for Kingdom of Bavaria and LL for Lauenstein Regional Court and LT for Teuschnitz Regional Court .

The core of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Nicholas goes back to a chapel that stood on the trade route that connected the upper Main Valley and the Upper Saale Valley in the late Middle Ages. In 1529 it was a branch church of the parish Oberlind . In 1674 it became an independent parish. Today's church was built in 1705. In 1888/89 major repairs and alterations followed. The stairwell to the gallery was renewed, the organ moved from the choir to the west side and the interior was redesigned. In 1966 the next major restoration was carried out. The baroque version of the pulpit, the baptismal font, the gallery paintings and the organ prospect were created again, the painting of the ceiling, the walls and the chancel from 1889 were painted white. The hall church has three simple rectangular windows on each of the long sides and elliptical windows above. At the west gable there is an octagonal gable tower with a Welscher hood in the half- hipped roof . The interior is spanned by an arched ceiling. A two-story gallery stands on three sides of the wall.
Friedhofstrasse
The celebration hall was built in 1927 at the Judenbacher Friedhof. The access is framed by an avenue of trees. The gable roof building has low extensions with pent roofs on the eaves and a polygonal apse on the eastern gable side . The west facade marks the entrance and a gallery window on a cornice with the inscription “Whether friend, whether enemy, united in death”. The interior fittings from the construction period are still partially present.
Bocksbach corridor
The former rafting pond was created in 1728 as part of intensive forest use for log and log rafting . For this purpose, a source brook of the Bocksbach, a tributary of the Engnitz, which flows into the Steinach , was dammed by an earth dam with a clay seal. The pond was used for rafting until the middle of the 19th century.

Boundary stones of the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen and the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg from 1845
The border security systems on the Hammerleite near Neuenbau were systematically expanded from 1952 and equipped with a border security fence between 1978 and 1980. In addition, a command post was created to coordinate border security in the border section. The associated tower-like building consists of precast concrete parts and had a lounge for an alarm group, an observation pulpit and a walk-on roof with a spotlight. It has now been converted for private use.
Saddle pass
In the Middle Ages, the Saxon Geleitstrasse, which connected Nuremberg and Leipzig, led over the Sattelpassstrasse. The Sattelpass was the border between the Principality of Saxony-Coburg-Saalfeld and the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Kulmbach with its rule of Lauenstein. Accordingly, the partly heavily weathered border and escort stone from 1720 shows the Saxon coat of arms on the Thuringian side with the diamond wreath and the quartered Hohenzollern shield on the Bavarian side. Two older state boundary stones, which were found under the escort stone from 1720 during the road expansion, were re-measured and set there.

In the late Middle Ages gold mining was carried out in the Gehren and Zigeunergraben fields near Weidhausen. A wide trench and small ping fields can still be seen.
In the forest between Judenbach and Neuenbau, ravine tracks of the former Sattelpass road have been preserved for a total of around 500 meters.
