Oberlauter is a district and seat of the municipal administration of the Upper Franconian community Lautertal in the district of Coburg .

geography

Oberlauter is about six kilometers north-east of Coburg an der Lauter (also known as Lauterbach). The district road CO 27 , formerly federal road 4 , runs through Oberlauter . Municipal roads to Moggenbrunn and Fornbach branch off from the district road.

history

Oberlauter goes back to an imperial court , a court in royal possession, which was divided into a lower and an upper court, from which Unterlauter and the sub-settlement of Oberlauter emerged. The fortified base was probably above the village. "Herrenhöfe zu Luter" is documented in a document inscription from 1075. In 1252 the place was mentioned as "nider Luter". Oberlauter was first mentioned in a document after Schneier in 1340.

The monastery Mönchröden came into possession in the place when it was founded in 1149 by Hermann Sterker, Burgrave of Meißen . At the beginning of the 14th century Oberlauter was under the rule of the Hennebergers . In 1353 the place with the Coburg Land came by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged.

Oberlauter paper mill

Around 1618 there were 18 estates and one Sölde in Oberlauter . In 1445 18, 1508 26 and 1618 38 able-bodied men lived in Oberlauter. After the Thirty Years War there were 19 able-bodied men in 1650 and 19 houses still existed. In 1340 there were five mills in Oberlauter, in the 20th century there were seven. The paper mill from 1577 in Obergebau, a settlement above Oberlauter, became a paper mill that was owned by the Axmann family from 1774 to 1923. The Märbelmühle was rebuilt in the Coburg Natural History Museum .

The feudal lordship was dissolved in 1849/50 . The first school house was built in 1889 on the site of an old chapel where a blacksmith shop was located in 1866. 90 children attended school at that time. Before that, the children went to school in Unterlauter. From 1955 the building was used as a parish hall.

A cattle count in 1905 showed 26 horses, 267 cattle and 273 sheep. From 1914 the electricity supplier was the Max Liebermann power station in Unterlauterer Obermühle and from 1921 the Coburg overland works .

The US troops, coming from Moggenbrunn, moved into Oberlauter on April 10, 1945 at around 10 a.m.

In 1953, the community joined the association for the water supply of the Lautergrund communities. The ring water supply was inaugurated in 1965. The Lautergrund waste water disposal association with the Unterlauter community was founded in 1961. The sewage system in the separation system and the sewage treatment plant were commissioned in 1964.

On the border between Oberlauter and Unterlauter, a joint eight-class elementary school for the two municipalities was established in the early 1960s and was inaugurated in January 1963. In 1965 the school districts Neunkirchen-Tiefenlauter and Rottenbach - Tremersdorf were included. In 1968 the six municipalities founded the Lautergrund School Association.

On May 4, 1969, 189 out of 616 eligible voters voted in Oberlauter for and 227 against the merger with Unterlauter, Tiefenlauter and Neukirchen. A total of 68 percent of the voters in the four towns were in favor of the union. With effect from July 1, 1969, Oberlauter was merged with the communities of Neukirchen , Unterlauter and Tiefenlauter to form the new community of Lautertal in accordance with a decree of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior . The place developed from a farming village to a residential community.
