Location of Möbisburg-Rhoda in Erfurt

Möbisburg-Rhoda is a district of Erfurt with around 1100 inhabitants. It was formed from Möbisburg and Rhoda , which were incorporated in 1950 .

history

Findings have shown that the small ridge above the Gera valley in the east-north loop of the river was inhabited at an early stage and was protected by a rampart . It is assumed that the Franks and / or Ottonians re-fortified the favorable mountain ridge. The ruins of a medieval castle were preserved until the 18th century. Möbisburg was first named in a document in 1130. The early sainting of the castle site is continued with a church to this day.

Church of St. Dionysius in Möbisburg

The origin of the place is recorded by many legends. The most likely of them says that a castle was built under the Thuringian-Franconian King Merwig or Merowig (* around 329), the Möbisburg. Only small parts of this are preserved today in the area of ​​the church. The legends speak of many treasures, such as a carriage made of pure gold. Four treasure hunters went in search of the carriage and found it. According to legend, the devil ordered them not to tell anyone. But since they told their wives anyway, the devil turned their heads off, according to legend. Since then, four heads can be seen at the Möbisburg Church, which are supposed to represent the heads of the treasure diggers.

At times the Counts of Gleichen , von Käfernburg , von Hatzfeld and von Keller ruled over part of the village .

At the entrance to the cemetery wall, which was built in 1736, you can see the Mainz wheel and miter . Both show that Möbisburg was historically oriented towards Erfurt and Kurmainz for a long time . On July 1, 1950, Möbisburg was formally incorporated into Erfurt. Rhoda, however, belonged to the Wachsenburg office from 1435 , which became part of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha in 1640 , from 1672 to the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg and in 1826 to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha .

In 1813 King Friedrich Wilhelm III. and the Princes of Prussia housed in Möbisburg on their way to France during the anti-Napoleonic war of liberation .

In the former Rothschen Mühle you can now visit a pottery mill, which has retained its appearance since 1720. In 1995, painted blackboards were exposed in the mill showing Jesus and the four evangelists. They come from the baroque and are very well preserved.
