Note: The list may be subject to changes that do not appear here. In individual cases, the current list can be viewed at the lower monument protection authority of the district office or at the building authority of the respective municipality.

Definitions

The protection of immovable cultural monuments already arises from the existence of the legal requirements of § 2 of the Thuringian Monument Protection Act and does not depend on the entry in the list of monuments of the state or the municipalities. This means that objects that are not included in a list of monuments can definitely be monuments.

Cultural monuments

According to § 2 of the Thuringian Monument Protection Act, cultural monuments are all things, aggregates or parts of things that are of public interest for historical, artistic, technical, scientific, folklore or urban planning reasons as well as for reasons of historical village image maintenance. Monument ensembles and ground monuments are also counted among the cultural monuments.

Monument ensemble

A monument ensemble can be:

• Overall structural systems: Overall structural systems are, in particular, groups of buildings, uniformly designed quarters and settlements and historical town centers including the plants, open spaces and water areas associated with them.

• Characteristic street, square or townscape: A characteristic street, square or townscape is given in particular if the appearance of the facility is indicative of a specific era or development or of a characteristic construction method with different styles.

• Characteristic local floor plans: A characteristic local floor plan is given if the appearance of the facility is characteristic of a certain epoch or development, in particular with regard to local and settlement forms, street layouts, plot structures and fortifications.

• Historic parks and gardens: Historic parks and gardens are works of horticultural art, the location of which, as well as the architectural and plant design, bear witness to the function of the complex as a living space and self-portrayal of earlier forms of society and the culture it supported. This also includes animal and botanical gardens, provided they have their own overall historical and architectural design.

• historical production sites and plants.

Not all parts of a monument ensemble have to be cultural monuments in order to be considered cultural monuments.

Ground monument

Movable or immovable objects that were or are hidden in the ground or under water and that provide information about animal or plant life (paleontological monuments) or that represent evidence, remains or traces of human culture (archaeological monuments) are soil monuments.

Historical background

Nesse-Apfelstädt is a municipality in the Thuringian district of Gotha.

history

The oldest places in the community that can be documented are Apfelstädt, which was first mentioned in 704 and Kleinrettbach (775-802).

The rural community of Nesse-Apfelstädt was created on December 1, 2009 through the merger of the communities of Apfelstädt, Gamstädt, Ingersleben and Neudietendorf. Previously, the districts of the municipality were already amalgamated in the administrative association Nesse-Apfelstädt-Gemeinde , this was dissolved at the same time as the municipality was established. Until 1994, when the administrative association was founded, Kleinrettbach was a district of Gamstädt and Kornhochheim was a district of Neudietendorf. The community is named after the two rivers Nesse and Apfelstädt . However, the Nesse is only a border river of the municipality and does not flow through it.

The seat of the community is Neudietendorf.

	Kirchstrasse 13		Church of the Moravian Brethren	The “ Church of God ” of the Brethren was laid out in 1743 with the settlement of the Bohemian and Moravian families of the Brethren, the oldest surviving grave is from 1743 and commemorates the parishioner Elisabeth Keller . In its simplicity, the churchyard should be a testimony to the Christian community, so every grave is of the same type and has a simple lying stone with the dates of life and a Bible verse. In fact, the burial regulations are followed to this day: all graves in the cemetery are designed in a simple and similar manner, they are arranged in close rows in the lawn at ground level. The graves are laid out in chronological order, brother and sister graves are also separated, there are no family graves. In addition, all of the graves are preserved and no burials are excavated, so two extensions were necessary in 1765 and 1827 to enlarge the complex. The reserve areas have meanwhile been limited by hedges and new paths, tree plantings offer shade and protection from rain, today the cemetery has around 2100 grave sites and is still used as a Christian cemetery.	2-334 / 1 layer

	Hainstrasse 19	Marienturm	The Romanesque tower has been part of a school building since the end of the 19th century. The Marienkirche, probably from 1396, was a branch church, was later used as a malt and kiln house and then demolished except for the tower. In 1992 the tower was renovated. In the following years an exhibition on the rural way of life was also set up there.	1-84 / 3 position

	Riedweg / Gutenbergweg	Latin cross	The medieval stone cross at the western end of the village in the direction of Wandersleben. The information board on the stone cross reports that it was erected between 1400 and 1450 to commemorate a person who was killed or killed at this point. Since 1657 it has been traceable in land maps ("am Creuchte"). A local legend says that the apple townspeople killed and buried a Danish colonel here. Hence the name "Schwedenkreuz". Another popular oral tradition tells of an injured carter. The location and orientation of the cross indicate the course of the old trade route coming from Erfurt, which headed from here directly to the Freudenthal Fuhrmannsgasthof .	1-165 / 10 Location stone crosses in Apfelstädt at Wikipedia
	Sülzenbrücker Strasse / K 22	Maltese Cross, "Seitz Cross"	The stone cross on the bike path in the direction of Sülzenbrücken dates from the 19th century. It was built on March 23, 1898 by Erfurt pensioner Seitz in memory of his 18-year-old son, who had an accident here on June 27, 1897 “while on a corso ride by local and foreign cyclists” and died one day later in Erfurt. The stone cross was about twice as high until it was damaged in 1970 and had to be erected several times over the years. Its shape is unique in Thuringia, as the information board reports. The “Erfurt Stone Cross” in Kleinrettbach , however, has a similar shape, with less pronounced tapering towards the center of the cross . However, the local cross is much smaller (today) with a visible height of around 60 cm. Seitz combined the erection of the cross with a foundation for the benefit of needy residents in Apfelstädt.

The house was used as a residential building until 1996, and repairs have been carried out gradually since 1990.

	Three Equals Street 34	Residential building	Until the second half of the 17th century, the property was the seat of the nobles of Wittern . In the middle of the 18th century the main building was rebuilt after a fire with the baroque mansard roof, using the medieval cellar vault and the Gothic sandstone door. From the second half of the 18th century until 1978 the building was the "church school", the village school of Neudietendorf. Johann Michael Aghte lived and worked here as a teacher, cantor and plant breeder. Aghte was the stepfather of Carl Bechstein (1826–1900), who spent his youth in this house and who later became famous as a piano maker. Aghte's daughter Auguste became the wife of August Köhler (1821-1879) in 1849 , who also went to school here and later became known as a kindergarten teacher and successor to Froebel . In the middle of the 19th century the western classroom extension (left in the picture) was built and in the middle of the 20th century the attic was converted into a teacher's apartment. From 1999 to 2001 the building was completely renovated by the municipality of Neudietendorf, with the installation of a new staircase and five residential units.	1-118 location

	Gamstädt, B7	Prussian eagle	Grenzadler: On the eastern district border, which once represented the boundary of the duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the Kingdom of Prussia and today between the district of Gotha and the city of Erfurt, one notices on the southern side of the street the main road B7 in the curve a Grenzadler , a about 1.50 m high sandstone, once with a Prussian eagle . Opposite it on the other side of the street is the "Zollhaus", which previously served as a customs post and now houses a commercial enterprise. It functioned as a border and post station together with a no longer existing building that stood on the south side of the street, as can be seen from old maps.	North.

The half-timbered building has a reconstructed mill wheel that drives a generator to generate electricity. The original generator, which operated until 1945 and supplied the manor with electricity, was dismantled by the Soviet occupying forces and brought to the USSR. The lower mill was the former manor mill from 1441, opposite it on the other side of the mill ditch was the manor house, the castle-like "villa" that was demolished after the war in a park that was also deforested.	2-349 / 3 Lage Ingersleben at Wikipedia
	Kornhochheim, village square	Glut	The "Schwemme", the former village pond, dominates the south side of the village square. In the 20th century this water basin served primarily as a fire fighting pond; it was laid out in its existing form as an in-situ concrete pool before the First World War. In the centuries before it still had the real character of a village pond, at that time you could drive in the wooden horse-drawn carriages in dry summers to prevent the wheels from falling apart. The name “Schwemme” certainly indicates that horses, ducks and geese could also have a refreshing bath here.	1-95 Location Kornhochheim at Wikipedia
