Nitschareuth is a district of Langenwetzendorf in the Greiz district in Thuringia .

geography

Nitschareuth is located in an elongated valley on a plateau of the Thuringian Slate Mountains between Daßlitz and Neumühle / Elster . The surrounding area consists of meadows and fields. The following hills are wooded.

The rural place is considered a showpiece of the 18th century. The farms around the central village green with two ponds have been a listed building since 1979.

history

The place was founded by Frankish settlers. On May 25, 1441, a single farmstead was first mentioned in a document. Later it is called an anger village with a parish church and 16 three or four-sided courtyards , each with courtyard arches in the Franconian style. In 1538 a church "zu Nitzitzenreuth" was first mentioned in a document. In 1549 the place had about 100 inhabitants. From 1550 there was a school. In 1622, during the Thirty Years' War, the village was devastated. In 1939 the place had 535 inhabitants, then air war evacuated and displaced persons came . When the US Army moved in on April 17, 1945, three German soldiers were shot in the Nitschareuther corridor and buried in the churchyard. At the beginning of July 1945, the Americans in Thuringia were replaced by the Red Army , so Nitschareuth also became part of the SBZ , and from 1949 the GDR . In 1953 the forced collectivization of agriculture took place. The LPG was called "Elsterperle".

Daßlitz and Nitschareuth were incorporated into Langenwetzendorf on January 1, 1996 .

Culture and sights

Village green

An evangelical branch church was built using older walls in 1657 as a hall church. Renovations took place in 1730 and 1840. Extensions were built in 1913. The hall contains a polygonal, three-sided closed choir and a beamed ceiling. The parapet of the gallery shows scenes from the Old Testament from the 18th century. The pulpit from the 17th century comes from the former castle church in Rothenthal . There are remains of a winged altar with colored carved figures from the late 15th century.

The village green is located south of the church and goes back to a late medieval structure. Today's development consists of 16 staggered four-sided courtyards with a courtyard arch, residential house and farm buildings from the 2nd half of the 18th century. The residential houses are in the gable position around the central green and contain massive ground floors with half-timbered structures and saddle or half- hip roofs . Some of them have decorative framework (initials, year in the gable).

A farmer's museum was set up in the three-sided farmstead no.13 in the upper village : with buildings, old machines and equipment, a courtyard cafe, a replica stone oven and a museum garden.
