In terms of population, Melpers is the smallest district of the city of Kaltennordheim in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district in Thuringia .
Geographical location
The Melpers district is located about eight kilometers south of the core town of Kaltennordheim and three kilometers north of the town of Fladungen on the border between Thuringia and Bavaria . Melpers is separated from the other districts by the municipality of Erbenhausen and thus forms an exclave of the city of Kaltennordheim. The district is located in the valley of the Streu , which flows into the Main via the Franconian Saale and is separated from the rest of Thuringia by a ridge towering around 600 meters, which culminates in the 662 meter high Stellberg and represents the watershed between the Main and Werra / Weser . The federal road 285 is the only regional road that Melpers opens up. It overcomes the ridge west of the Stellberg with an increase to 597.7 meters.
history
The place was first mentioned in 1317 as Albrechtis . In the 14th century the village had completely disappeared and was only re-established in 1555 after the sons of the Saxon Duke Frederick the Magnanimous had acquired the office of Lichtenberg . Since then, the place has belonged to its front court, from which it was territorially separated by the Fladungen office in Würzburg . The village church was built in 1587 and is still standing.
The Würzburger Landwehr on the heights north of Melpers, an approximately 30-meter-wide medieval fortification strip made of ramparts and ditches, later part of the Kingdom of Bavaria , separated the exclave belonging to the district court district of Ostheim from the ancestral land of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach .
While the Ostheim exclave had been incorporated into the American occupation zone since 1945 and thus became part of Bavaria, Melpers was on the Thuringian side for decades directly on the inner-German border in the restricted zone of the Soviet occupation zone and the GDR . The inner border fence partially connected to the house gardens. Since reunification , part of the Melpers district has been part of the German Green Belt because of this border location . Bundesstraße 285 ended on the Bavarian side until 1989 as a parking lot in front of a chained gate with a view of Melpers.
