geography

Notter in Schlotheim

Nottertal-Heilinger Heights is located in the middle of Germany and in the northwest of the Thuringian Basin . The Schlotheimer Graben , a rift valley running from northwest to southeast ( Hercynian ) determines the topography of the city. In its northern part the Notter , a tributary of the Unstrut, flows from the foothills of the Dün , in the southern part the Marolteroder Bach, which is framed by the Heilinger Heights and flows into the Notter in Schlotheim.

The lowest point is in the south of the city west of Kleinwelsbach in the valley of the Welsbach at 190 meters, the highest at the northern tip of the urban area on state road 2096 near Menteroda at 436 meters.

The town of Nottertal-Heilinger Höhen consists of six districts that correspond to the original communities. Schlotheim's districts of Mehrstedt and Hohenbergen lost their district status, but can regain it from 2024.

Nottertal-Heiliger Höhen borders, starting in the north and in a clockwise direction, with the following cities and communities: Menteroda , Holzsussra , Ebeleben , Marolterode , Kirchheilingen , Bad Langensalza , Unstrut-Hainich , Körner and Mühlhausen / Thuringia .

history

→ Main article : Thuringia regional reform in 2018 and 2019

The member communities of the Schlotheim administrative community had debts of around 45 million euros at the end of 2017, so that investments were only possible to a limited extent. The possibility of forming a rural community relieves the communities of a large part of their debts, for example the city of Schlotheim by almost 90%, thanks to debt relief under the Thuringian Community Reorganization Financial Aid Act (ThürGNGFG).

The municipalities of Körner and Marolterode decided against joining the rural municipality in 2018, even if this did not take their debt burden off.

The name of the new city is a compromise of the merging communities, in which as many of them as possible should be able to recognize each other. There was "at all citizens' meetings [...] incomprehension about the chosen name of the new rural community to be founded". An application to use the name “Schlotheim” instead did not find the necessary unanimous support from the communities.

According to the Thuringian law on the voluntary reorganization of municipalities belonging to the district in 2019, the new municipalities came into force on December 31, 2019. The law was adopted by the state parliament on September 12, 2019.
