history

Meimers was first mentioned as early as 1250. In Frankensteiner sales letter Meimers 1330 as Meimbrechts recorded, in 1340 the name was also daz Einbrechts (meaning probably courtyard of a Aginbrachts). At that time the place belonged to the Hersfeld monastery and from 1330 came under the administration of the Henneberg office of Frankenberg , which was called " Office Frauenbreitungen " since the Reformation .

Since the 16th century, the Farnbach formed the border between the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen and the Hessian rule of Schmalkalden . From this border location and the topography of the terrain, Meimers received a hamlet-like settlement structure. A distinction was made between Obermeimers , Freihof Meimers , Gut Meimers and Oberfarnbach . To the west there were two more courtyards, which now also belong to Meimers - Rabelsgrube and the Sorghof (probably part of the original Eimbrechts). In the 18th century Meimers got its own school and two mills.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Ernst Julius Walch's geographical description mentions the districts with the following information:

Meimers - 165 pop. 88 male and female 77 female Gender. 108 buildings at all, 30 inhabited houses. Village, on the right side of the Werra, 1/2 hour south of Liebenstein, in the valley of the Grumbach or Grimbach, which joins the Werra 1 hour from Meimers near Untergrumbach.
