Münchenroda is a district of the independent city of Jena in Thuringia .

location

Münchenroda is the westernmost district of the independent city of Jena. The village borders the border of the Weimarer Land district . From there, the higher level of the western Saale hills merges into the arable level near Mellingen and Weimar . To the north of Münchenroda, about 200 m from the center of the village, a stream flows in the "Göllichsgraben" in an easterly direction, which, after flowing through the Münchenrodaer Grund, flows into the Leutra . The district is easily accessible via urban traffic routes and therefore has connections to the area around Jena and Weimar. A special feature of Münchenroda is its round settlement core, which is known as the Rundling .

history

Münchenroda was first mentioned in a document on May 13, 1255. Around 1330 the place was owned by the Bürgel Monastery . The oldest tradition from court owners dates from 1421 to 1425.

Desert Möbis

About 2 km south of the village is the deserted "Möbis" (also Nöbis or Mövis ) on a hill . This hill was mentioned in a document as early as 1233.

A bronze place was discovered in 1885 at the Einhügelquelle in Münchenrodaer Grund. Sickles, rings, decorative discs, a rag ax and an antenna sword were found in the vicinity of the spring. This find indicates a cult site at a spring.

The village church of Münchenroda , which is designated as a cultural monument, is located in the village .

Sports

The golf course between Weimar and Jena is located on 86 hectares of the district and corresponds to international standards.
