MIDSUMMER is a municipality in the Unstrut-Hainich district in Thuringia . It belongs to the Bad Tennstedt administrative community based in the city of Bad Tennstedt .
geography
Mean summer is in the immediate vicinity of the Großer Horn nature reserve as well as the Königsleuteweg, which is still known today, in the vicinity of earlier travel routes, as well as in the immediate vicinity of the Thuringian Thingplatz (Tretenburg between Schwerstedt and Gebesee ).
geology
The soil types show the greatest differences. In the cultivation of plant crops, the cultivation of strawberries plays a major role. The soil consists mainly of shell limestone and loess loam or lower Keuper , which makes the soil very fertile. The soil flora is also very rich.
Neighboring communities
Neighboring communities are Freienbessingen , Wolferschwenda , Hornsömmern , Kutzleben , Haussommern , Bruchstedt and Blankenburg .
history
The area was settled by nomadic tribes as early as the Stone Age , as demonstrated by excavation finds in the immediate vicinity.
The actual foundation with a sedentary population did not take place until the Old Thuringian era. The place is most likely founded by the Hermunduri (a Germanic - tribe ) back. The place Summaringen is mentioned in Codex Eberhardi , although it is not exactly clear which of the Sömmerdörfer is actually meant. These mentions run through history for several centuries without ever being concrete. At that time it probably served as a global location, which no one needed to differentiate. This only changed with the increase in population and the growth of the towns, which made a distinction necessary and which then took place for the Sömmerdörfer in the 13th century. The special position of Middle Summer is also proven by the establishment of a Franconian guard station (proven by excavations in the 1960s). After the fall of the Thuringian Empire in 531, the place sank into the darkness of history. The Christianization of the area only took place under Frankish rule .
The place belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office Langensalza until 1815 and after its cession to Prussia from 1816 to 1944 to the district of Langensalza in the province of Saxony .
Name development
The name Sommern is derived from swamp and morass . The term "horn" indicates the nature of the land at that time (swampy land). The first spelling of the name "Sömmern" at the beginning of the 8th century was called "Sumaringa", then "Sumeringen" and around 1270 "Someringen". In 1430 "Sömmeringen" was written. The place "Mittel Sommern" was first mentioned in 1262, but the current spelling "Mittel Sommern" only appeared in 1555, while Mittelömmeringen was still written in 1502 .
Population development

The population development in mid-summer was characterized by a relatively strong increase in the number of inhabitants in the first years after the Second World War , which can be attributed to the displaced resettlers from the former eastern regions of the German Empire . Since the early 1950s there has been an almost continuous decline in the population. The downward trend slowed at the beginning of the 1980s to the present, when a slight increase can be seen again.
