history
The Nesselhof was first mentioned in a document on September 30, 1290. The Thuringian Landgrave Albrecht demanded in the letter that the Voigt of Burg Waldenfels (small late medieval castle complex on the Großer Buchenberg near Tambach-Dietharz ) should provide building material to support the construction of a hospital on "Heerstraße". A site in the Nesselgrund near the source of the Nesselbach and not far from Heerstraße was chosen as the construction site.
The Order of Lazarus was asked for support to look after the sick and infirm . A brother named Gottfried Waltdorf was sent to found the hospital and train the helpers in nursing. In the records of the small hospice "St. Nicholas" there are references to the management of the house in the 15th century. It belonged to the Gotha branch (Komthurei) of the Lazarus order, which was entrusted with the financing and supervision of the hospice and provided two brothers at the Nesselhof. In 1467 there was a dispute over the rights to use meadows and trees. The field name Spitalswiesen still reminds us today. A supervisor Hans Warmudt complained about the decline of the hospital, structural defects and the neglect of the church service by the two Lazarite brothers.
After the Reformation , most of the Catholic orders left the area, and the hospice in the Nesselgrund was also given up by the Lazarites. The place came into the possession of the city of Schmalkalden, which was already supplied with two hospitals or special hospitals. In 1572 the buildings surrounded by a protective wall were renovated as the town's own homestead, and in 1580 a fire is said to have destroyed parts of the building complex; it then had to be rebuilt. As a result of the wars and looting in the Thirty Years' War, the Nesselhof perished again. At times mining was carried out in the valley, which can be proven by pinging . A forester's house was later built near the destroyed farmstead. Woodcutters and day laborers settled here in the 18th century. By 1830 the place already consisted of seven houses with 38 inhabitants and had a forest ranger. The residents had been given the right to drive to the Nesselberg and the few meadow stiffeners on the Nesselbach, but had to pay taxes and fees for this, which were assessed according to the livestock. In the GDR era there was one of the last commercial charcoal burners in the valley floor. An inn was managed as a resting place for hikers and through traffic. Nesselhof was incorporated as a district of Schnellbach with this on May 6, 1993 after Floh.
