geography

history

Memorial stone with "eagle brooch"

Oßmannstedt was first mentioned in a document from Otto I from the year 956, which said: “King Otto I gives the Servatius monastery in Quedlinburg for his daughter Mathilde his property in Liebstedt and Oßmannstedt in Thuringia in the county of Willihelms with his servants and others Equipment."

Long before it was first mentioned, the place was the seat of a noble family who lived here in the second half of the 5th century. This is suggested by the discovery of the bones of an Ostgotin of high nobility. The excavation find indicates an alliance between Thuringian and Ostrogothic tribes. During excavations near the place, a gold clasp was found in her grave. The community had this stylized eagle, a so-called eagle fibula , depicted on a memorial stone in a facility near the outdoor pool.

From the middle of the 13th century until 1440 a sideline of the Lords of Liebstedt , the Knights of Oßmannstedt, resided in the village. In 1290 they received the castle from the king. This castle was on the left bank of the Ilm in the lower reaches of the current Wieland estate . The Ilm valley makes way for a ford here. Here the Kupferstrasse crossed the Ilm, and from the castle the road and the traffic could be well monitored and controlled.

Later the knights of Oßmannstedt had to hand over the sovereignty to the Lobedeburgers and from 1344 to the Landgraves of Thuringia . From 1440 the lords of Harras acquired the property. The property and the castle were destroyed in the Saxon Civil War in 1450 . Then the counts set up a manor. Then the gentlemen von Bünau took over the property. Heinrich von Bünau had today's manor house built and the park laid out.

From 1783 to 1795 the Illuminatist August Dietrich Graf Marschall was the owner of the casket in Oßmannstedt. Christoph Martin Wieland bought this estate and park in 1797 and managed it until 1808. It is now a Wieland memorial.

Oßmannstedt belonged to the Weimar Office until 1815 and then came to the Roßla Office , which was opened in the Apolda administrative district of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach in 1850 . In 1920 the place came to the state of Thuringia.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Ulrichshalben was incorporated.

Until December 31, 2013, Oßmannstedt was part of the Ilmtal-Weinstraße administrative association. This was dissolved on the date mentioned, and Oßmannstedt and Ulrichshalben became independent districts of the new rural community Ilmtal-Weinstrasse .

Personalities

  • The Oßmannstedter manor house and park were built in 1756–1762 by the then Prime Minister of the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, Count Heinrich von Bünau .
  • Johann Christian Stark the Elder (* 1753 in Oßmannstedt; † 1811 in Jena): Professor in Jena, “pioneer of gynecology / obstetrics”, personal physician to great personalities (Weimar duke family, Goethe and Schiller family). Buried in the Johannis cemetery at the Jena Peace Church.
  • The estate was later owned by the Weimar court marshal Friedrich Gotthilf von Marschall. At this time Johann Matthias Gesner (born April 9, 1691 in Roth an der Rednitz, † August 3, 1761 in Göttingen) also lived in Weimar. He was an educator, classical philologist and librarian in Weimar. Since Gesner maintained a close and friendly relationship with the court marshal, he spent his holidays on his estate in Oßmannstedt.

In the style of the SABINUM estate of his favorite poet Horace , Wieland named his Oßmannstedt refuge OSMANTINUM.

This is where the novels Agathodämon (1799) and Aristippus and some of his contemporaries (1800/1801) were written.

In addition to the Weimar poets and scholars Goethe , Schiller and Herder , Heinrich von Kleist , among others, stayed at the von Wieland house in Oßmannstedt.

The manor park houses the poet's grave , together with his wife and Sophie Brentano , a sister of the romantic Clemens Brentano .

  • Ferdinand Gerstung came to Oßmannstedt as a pastor in 1886. It was here that his longstanding interest in beekeeping met a crowd of gifted beekeepers. Gerstung took up their experiences, thought and developed further and made scientific beekeeping his second profession until the end of his life on March 5, 1925. He discovered the laying process of the queen bee (brood nest order) as well as the division of labor of the bees and developed the theory of the fodder juice flow. The term “bees”, which stands for the coexistence of bees in the colony, was first scientifically defined by him. Together with the Taubach pastor August Ludwig , he founded the bee museum in Weimar in 1910. Finally, in 1902, both of them convened a “General German Beekeeping Day” and founded the “Reich Association for Beekeeping”. In 1907 this association merged with the "German Central Bee Association" founded in 1880 to form the "German Beekeeping Association". In the same year the "Reichs-Beekeeping Museum" was founded in Weimar. The successor was today's " German Bee Museum " in Oberweimar. One of Gerstung's most famous works is his textbook Der Bien und seine Zucht . But his newspaper Die deutsche Bienenzucht , published since 1892, also contributed significantly to the spread of his teachings. Over the years, thousands of beekeepers made a pilgrimage to Oßmannstedt during Pentecost week, where Gerstung held its famous beekeeping conferences and training courses. It was the natural scientist and philosopher Ernst Haeckel , who had fought a violent scientific dispute with Gerstung, who suggested that the Jena University grant the Oßmannstedt bee father the degree of Dr. hc to lend. Ferdinand Gerstung received this honor in 1920 on his 60th birthday. In addition to the scientific achievement of Ferdinand Gerstung, the economic one is of equal importance. The beekeeping equipment factory, intended as a livelihood for his sons, brought many Oßmannstedtern wages and bread far beyond their self-interest for decades. In 1953 Oßmannstedt included the bee in the local coat of arms and seal and repeated this after the GDR had imposed a uniform seal on all communities after the political change.
