history
On September 1, 1104, the village of Frankenrode was first mentioned in a document. However, the single find of a stone ax indicates prehistoric settlers. The toponomy assumes that the place name (New) Frankenroda is reminiscent of the Franks who, after the fall of the Thuringian Empire in 531, advanced along the rivers and old roads into the settlement areas of the Thuringian tribes and established settlements here by clearing forests, for which reason the suffix -roda as part of the place name attests. The place was already in the Middle Ages to the deserted village .
In 1317 Metebach and Frankenrode belonged to the free float of the Counts of Henneberg , which were given to Günther von Salza as a fief . The people of Salza later sold or exchanged these places for the Lords of Erffa . The Lords of Erffa built the Frankenrode, known as the Gut, at this time .
The Gotha Duke Friedrich I bought the places from the Lords of Erffa in 1677 and commissioned his builder Jeremias Tütleb with the construction of a representative country palace and chose the village of Erffa with the ruined moated castle Erffa as the building site (see also Friedrichswerth Castle ). The estate of the Lords of Erffa now became a chamber estate. The new acquisitions were summarized as "Administrative District Friedrichswerth ", which later belonged to the Gotha office .
The large Frankenrode corridor was used for the Trift . In 1798 a new village was founded in the hallway of the Frankenroda estate at the expense of the ducal chamber. This new poor colony with the name Neu-Frankenrode was supposed to promote the well-being of the country and its subjects. In particular, the status of the forest workers should be supported, who tended to theft and idleness during this time due to poverty and unemployment. The jurisdiction of the new village was transferred to the Friedrichswerth administrative district. The new place consisted of ten barns, ten stables and ten houses, in which five families were initially assigned. Each owner was assigned 5.5 acres of land, the land was divided up and filled with fruit trees, two wells dug and a wood planted. The construction of this colony cost 12.75 thousand thalers. Neu-Frankenrode was parish off to Metebach, but received its own school teacher. However, it failed to develop a sustainable source on the arid plateau to meet the water shortage. Until 1818 Neu-Frankenrode was supported with considerable financial means, and considerable measures were taken to maintain and secure the food supply. In the course of the coalition wars, Neufrankenroda fell into such disrepair that it had to be completely repealed in 1818. The residents did not pay the fixed rent, and the land was not built on either. They also devastated their home furnishings. Although they were not the least bit demanding, the colonists received 150 thalers each to buy a house in other places.
In 1840 an administrative reform led to the creation of the significantly enlarged administrative and district court district of Wangenheim-Friedrichswerth.
In 1885 Eduard Meyer (1859–1931) leased the ducal Saxon-Gothaic domains Friedrichswerth and Neufrankenroda (Neu-Frankenrode), and later Sonneborn , Wangenheim and Döllstädt . He had a school built here. After Neufrankenroda no longer existed as a community, servants and day laborers from Friedrichswerth still lived here, to whom the community of Metebach was assigned as their home district. After Meyer's death, Neufrankenroda took on the role of the Vorwerk of the Friedrichswerth state estate. In the 1930s, Neufrankenroda was connected to the overland network of the Thuringian Electricity Delivery Company Gotha (ThELG).
After the Second World War , Neufrankenroda was first a state property of the Soviet occupation zone (SBZ), and later a property of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). A land reform was carried out here between 1950 and 1952 . During this time the place gained some fame for its fruit growing and various horticultural attempts at breeding. The so-called "black rose" was bred here and sold as an export product to various European countries. Neufrankenroda was subject to VEG Gotha, around 85 hectares of orchards including beekeeping (main bee breeding material / bee training material) were operated. At the German reunification Neufrankenroda belonged to the trust assets of the VEG Obstbau Erfurt.
In the 1960s, some paved concrete roads were built that connected the Russian military bases near Gotha and the training area on the edge of the Kindel military airfield with the nearby train stations at Fröttstädt , Mechterstädt and Sättelstädt . The concrete runway known as " Panzerstraße " is now a popular cycle path, as it allows attractive viewpoints to the western Thuringian Forest around Friedrichroda and Waltershausen .
In the GDR era, the Protestant church was interested in the remote location in order to build a residential complex with a Christian character. The Neufrankenroda settlement has been the center of the evangelical family community SILOAH eV since 1991 and organizes several major events over the course of the year and a tent camp in summer.
National awareness, at least among scouts and their sympathizers , gained Neufrankenroda through three national camps of the Royal Rangers , an international youth association in 1997 with 3,800 participants and in 2005 with 10,200 registered participants, and in 1999 through a Eurocamp with 4,000 participants. The camp in 2005 is considered to be the largest scout camp in Germany after the Second World War and the largest Royal Rangers camp (approx. 45 hectares) worldwide until then (as of 2008). From August 8 to 15, 2014, the family community SILOAH in Neufrankenroda hosted 14,806 registered scouts and their guests on an area of 60 hectares.
Neufrankenroda belonged from 1997 to 2011, as a district of the municipality of Metebach, to the Hörsel administrative community . With the formation of the rural community Hörsel on December 1, 2011, Neufrankenroda belongs as a district of the community Hörsel.
