history

In a register of the tithe of the Hersfeld monastery , which was created between 881 and 899, Obhausen is mentioned for the first time in a document as the place of Hubhusa im Friesenfeld, which is subject to a tithing obligation .

In 999 the community was mentioned in a document as Upphusun morcha .

Consists of the parish St. Petri with its branches St. Johannis and St. Nicolai , which belonged to the Merseburg chapter . Four manors belonged to the place (one in St. Petri, the Schieferhof at St. Nicolai, the Hayn'schen and Wagnerische in St. Joh.). Feudal lords were the nobles of Querfurt , the counts of Mansfeld (from the house of the nobles of Querfurt), and the diocese of Magdeburg (the nobles of Querfurt were burgraves of Magdeburg). These enfeoffed the places and the goods in them to the v. Braschwitz (14th – 17th centuries), v. Rolitz, v. Gleina (15th century), v. Osterhausen , v. Kötzschen (17th century), v. Milkau (16th century), v. Rockhausen (1683–1753 St. Joh.), V. Nostitz (1753–1788 St. Joh.), Knuth (Kunth 18th century), v. Krafft (Kraft, 16th - 17th century), v. Trotha (19th – 20th century St. Petri), v. Hayn (18th century), v. Streitwitz (17th century), von der Streithorst (18th century), v. Danckelmann (17th – 18th century St. Joh.), V. Gehofen, v. Naso and those from the corner continue.

The family of Rockenhausen on Kirchscheidungen belonged since 1683 in Obhausen inheritance and free- Allodial - Manor St. John's. The last owners were the district commissioner of the Thuringian district George Friedrich von Rockhausen , Herr auf Obhausen and Albersroda and his only son Friedrich August von Rockhausen.

The Erfurt writer Sidonia Hedwig Zigarunemann wrote the wedding poems on the occasion of the wedding on October 8, 1736 in Obhausen Castle: "Since now the Reichsfreyherr Stettner von Grabenhoff, with his bride the beautiful Fraulein von Rockhausen is married with a lot of pleasure." And "Auf just this marriage ” .

After almost all court and farm buildings in Obhausen were destroyed by fire in November 1750, the von Rockhausen family sold their property to the von Nostitz family in Obhausen in 1752 .

Until 1815 the place was in the Saxon office of Querfurt .

On April 1, 1937, the three communities Obhausen Johannis , Obhausen Nikolai and Obhausen Petri were merged to form the community Obhausen.

On January 1, 2010 Esperstedt was incorporated into Obhausen with Kuckenburg .

Excavations

Archaeologists from the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena have discovered the remains of a church with a choir and apse near Obhausen. It is dated around the year 1000. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, a 3000 year old hoard with jewelry and utensils, including three neck rings of different sizes, was recovered on the mountain spur of the Kranzberg.

In the course of the research project "The hill settlements of the micro and macro region - economic, political-social, administrative and cultic central locations", which concentrates on places within a 40-kilometer radius of Nebra , the legacies have since been used by researchers and students in the Ur - and the early history of the University of Jena.

An early medieval castle (9th century), consisting of a main and outer bailey, was found on the Kranzberg. It now became apparent that a stone building was the foundation of an early church. A hall 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, a rectangular choir seven by seven meters and an apse about three meters in diameter were located. Based on the recovered material, the construction of the church around the year 1000 can be assumed. This means that this building dates roughly at the same time as the church at Querfurt Castle .
