history

The Tabarz street name "Mönchhof" refers to the monastery courtyard near Cabarz belonging to the Reinhardsbrunn monastery, which was probably built around 1400 when this monastery came into the possession of the villages of Cabarz and Großtabarz as well as the deserted area "Uttichrodt" (also Utterodt). As a result of the peasant uprising of 1525, the Reinhardsbrunn monastery and associated farms were attacked and looted. The secularization of the monastery properties taken over by the state resulted in the sale of the monastery courtyard (Mönchehof) to the von Uetterodt family, who were in ducal service , who were already in the surrounding areas and with the Scharfenburg near Ruhlawas enfeoffed. Around 1600 the Uetterodts ceded this splinter property to the sovereign under unknown circumstances. At the beginning of the 17th century, the forest fell to the Winterstein line of the Lords of Wangenheim .

A major fire destroyed parts of Großtabarz in 1821 , and many residents became homeless. Some of the affected population left the village in order to resettle on the outskirts of the neighboring village of Cabarz at the “Mönchhof” located there, the exact circumstances are still unknown. About 20 new houses and farms were built. The new (old) neighbors of the Cabarzers referred to the Nonnenberg , acquired through purchase in 1809 , when they chose the place name. Tensions soon arose with the Cabarz neighbors, as the division of the acquired land and the use of the forest should be changed due to the new circumstances. The corridor files of 1827 and 1829 document the shares of the respective places in the wangenheim pre-ownership in Uttichrodt and on Nonnenberg. Until 1866 the place Nonnenberg remained politically independent.
