Obersiemau is about eight kilometers south of Coburg . To the west of the town is the Untersiemau Mühlbach Bridge on the Nuremberg – Erfurt high-speed line . The Siemauer Mühlbach, a left tributary of the Itz , flows through the village.

history

Obersiemau was first mentioned in 1292 as "superiori Svemen". The place was once in the Banzer Forest, which was later also called Lichtenfelser Forest. For centuries, the border between Saxony-Coburg and the Lichtenfels area ran between Obersiemau and the neighboring Buch am Forst .

During the Thirty Years War , Croatian horsemen in the imperial service of Obersiemau incinerated in July 1632.

In 1768 Ernst Friedrich Stockmar, grandfather of Christian Friedrich von Stockmar , acquired the Obersiemau manor. This has remained in the family's possession to this day (as of 2014).

H. Schubert ran a small brewery with an attached restaurant in Obersiemau from 1850 to 1886. In 1898 the company “Schubert's Brauerei und Malzfabrik” was created from the brewery. In 1904 Fritz Brandsepl acquired the company and traded under the name “Coburg-Bayerisches Grenzbrauhaus GmbH”. In 1918 the brewing business was stopped and taken over by Hofbrauhaus Coburg AG.

In 1843 the town had 148 inhabitants, 22 of whom were school children.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, two Obersiemauer citizens voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 75 against. From July 1, 1920, Obersiemau also belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .

On January 1, 1978 Obersiemau was incorporated as a district in the municipality of Untersiemau. Obersiemau has been part of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Untersiemau since 1812. The village was previously assigned to Buch am Forst .
