history

Oberwasungen was first mentioned in a document in 1149 as "Wasunhen". The Würzburg Bishop Siegfried von Truhendingen confirmed that the newly founded Mönchröden Monastery had also been given the settlement by Hermann Sterker , Burgrave of Meißen and his brother, Count Sterker. In 1291 the settlement was called Wasungen majus. The place probably got its name from the Old High German word "waso", which means something like wet lawn or meadow. The location in a meadow valley was therefore decisive for the place name.

According to the hereditary book of Sonnefeld monastery from 1514, the village was in mixed rule. The monastery had three estates, three fields, three meadows and the tithe to the village and field.

In 1837 the village had 91 inhabitants, in 1871 there were 101.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, a citizen of Oberwasung voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state , 30 were against. From July 1st, 1920, Oberwasungen belonged to the Free State of Bavaria . In 1925 the settlement comprised 254.49 hectares, 78 residents, of whom 75 were Protestant and 3 were Catholic, and 15 residential buildings. Like the church, the school was located in Fechheim, 1.8 kilometers away .

In 1969 the community sought a connection to Sonnefeld. The incorporation was completed on July 1, 1970.

Oberwasungen has been part of the Fechheimer Kirchsprengel for centuries. From 1967, the Spittelsteiner Group water association supplied the place with drinking water. This has been done by Stadtwerke Neustadt since 1986 . In 1987 the village had 59 inhabitants, 17 residential buildings and 19 apartments.
