history

Barrow finds in 1880 on Bausenberg the call Forst occupy a settlement of the area in the Bronze Age .

Mährhausen was first mentioned in a document in 1287, when the "Brothers Dietrich and Ivan von Mernhusen" bequeathed their tithe to Schlettach to the Langheim monastery . The seat of the noble family could have developed from a fortified court, a moated castle.

In the village there was a large farm, which paid interest to the Mönchröden monastery , which Duke Ernst the Pious had transferred to a Peter Welsch from Oettingshausen in 1674 . The general superintendent Johann Gerhard Meuschen , who came to Coburg in 1723 , acquired the castle-like property, which had a garden laid out based on the French model and which served as a retirement home until his death in 1743.

Moraviahausen belonged to the church district Gauerstadt since the Thirty Years War , where the school was initially. In 1711 Sülzfeld founded a school association with Moravia. The place of instruction was changed between the two villages every four years. In 1850 79 students were taught. The community built a new schoolhouse in 1893.

The general superintendent Meuschen, who lives in Moravia, initiated the construction of a church in the 18th century. The foundation stone was laid on July 24, 1737, and the church , which was equipped with two galleries and an organ , was consecrated in December 1749. In the 19th century, the lack of maintenance led to the building's decline and finally to the demolition of the church.

In a referendum on 30 November 1919 10 houses Moravia voted citizens for the accession of the State of Coburg the Thuringian State and 54 against it. From July 1, 1920, Mehrehausen belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .

On January 1, 1972, Moraviahausen was incorporated into Rodach near Coburg. The mayor at the time was Max Büschel.
