The Ohrdrufer Platte is a shell limestone formation that connects to the Thuringian Forest to the north. The northern and western surroundings of Ohrdruf are almost completely flat, while the mountains of the Thuringian Forest suddenly begin about two kilometers south of the city. The otherwise existing transition zone of hills between the plains and the Thuringian Forest is missing here.
Ohrdruf is located on the Ohra , a tributary of the Apfelstädt , from which the name is derived. Ohr comes from Ohra, -druf was created by shifting the accent from -dorf .
City structure

history
Beginning until 1900
Around the time of the birth of Christ there was a settlement of the Elbe-Germanic Hermundurs near today's castle . After 530 AD a Franconian moated castle was built in the area of the later castle.
723 and 724 began his mission in Thuringia in Ohrdruf Bonifatius with the establishment of the St. Michael cell . Around 800 the cell belonged to the imperial abbey of Hersfeld .
In the 10th century, Ohrdruf and his Petri monastery were the residence of Emperor Otto I. From the property of the Counts of Käfernburg-Schwarzburg, Ohrdruf came to the Counts of Gleichen in 1342, but was under the feudal and regional rule of the Wettins from the late Middle Ages . In 1344 the Canons' Monastery was moved to Gotha. In 1348 Ohrdruf was granted city rights. Since 1356 Ohrdruf was administered by councilors. There was a Carmelite monastery from 1463 until the Reformation .
The Tobiashammer near Ohrdruf was built in 1482 as a copper hammer. In 1972 it was shut down.
In 1599 the Counts of Gleichen moved their residence to Ohrdruf in the newly built Ehrenstein Castle . At the same time the city was walled and a high school opened. When the von Gleichen family died out in 1631, the town and six villages, most of them in the vicinity, fell to the Neuenstein line of the Princes of Hohenlohe as the Upper County of Gleichen as a result of an inheritance contract . They maintained a chancellery and consistory in Ohrdruf until 1848 . State sovereignty initially remained jointly owned by the entire Saxon-Weimar family and in 1657 came under the sole ownership of the Saxon-Gotha line .
In 1611 and in the years 1625/26 and 1635/36 in the Thirty Years' War, the plague spread across the country and killed over half of the population. Major fires in 1510, 1753 and 1808 not only destroyed valuable buildings, but also important files and documents. In 1808 the old Renaissance town hall, the half-timbered houses on the market, the Michaeliskirche and the house of the organist Johann Christoph Bach (the brother and organ teacher of Johann Sebastian Bach) burned down.
The inhabitants lived from agriculture, wool weaving, freight transport, timber and grain trade. Two copper hammers were from the 15th and 17th centuries, an ironworks produced sickles and cabbage slicers, there were two paper mills and many whip-handle makers in their own guild. Since 1837, factories for mattresses, porcelain, toys, buttons, leather goods and glass instruments have been established. The toy industry in particular produced numerous innovations and, in addition to the domestic market, also supplied many customers overseas.
Since 1876 a railway line connected the city with Gotha and since 1892 with Graefenroda . The line was discontinued in 2011.
1900 until today
From 1906 the military training area at Ohrdruf was expanded considerably, which led to a strengthening of the Ohrdruf economy.
The First World War also brought many painful sacrifices for Ohrdruf.
Ohrdruf belonged to the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha until 1918 - until 1826 the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg , then the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and from 1918 - after the end of the monarchy - until 1922 to the Free State or area of Gotha. After the Hohenlohes ceded patrimonial jurisdiction in 1848, the district of Ohrdruf of the Upper County of Gleichen was abolished and the state judicial office of Ohrdruf was established for its places around Ohrdruf. Its administrative powers were transferred in 1858 as part of the administrative reform carried out in the Duchy of Gotha to the newly founded District Office Ohrdruf , which existed until 1922. The district office of Ohrdruf was relatively large and reached the dimensions of today's district. It stretched from Wechmar in the north to Zella-Mehlis and Manebach in the south and from Tambach-Dietharz in the west to Gossel in the east. With the Thuringian district division law of 1922, the majority of the district office district was assigned to the district of Gotha , the eastern part to the district of Arnstadt . Zella-Mehlis in the south became independent. At that time the official area bordered (clockwise, starting in the north): Prussia with Mühlberg - Landratsamt Erfurt (from 1932 Landratsamt Weißensee) - Schwarzburg-Sondershausen with the office Arnstadt - Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt with Angelroda - Schwarzburg-Sondershausen with the enclave Geschwenda - Saxony -Weimar-Eisenach with the office of Ilmenau - Prussia with the Schleusingen district (province of Saxony) - Hessen-Kassel (later Prussia with the province of Hessen-Nassau) with the rule of Schmalkalden .
In the city, which was badly affected by the global economic crisis from 1930/1931, the anti-republic left was relatively strong. In 1930 the parliamentary groups of the KPD and KAPD had 5 of 13 city councilors, the NSDAP 4 and the bourgeoisie 3 representatives. But as early as 1931 the NSDAP provided Willy Marschler as the mayor of Ohrdruf and in 1932 it had a majority of 7 members in the city council. In 1933 the NSDAP regime (as in the rest of the Reich) brought about the harmonization of all areas of life.
After a light air attack by 10 American B-17 bombers with 22.5 tons of bombs on November 30, 1944, 35 American B-17 Flying Fortresses dropped a total of 91 tons of bombs (including 200 high explosives) at noon on February 6, 1945 the city, the surrounding forest and fields. 69 inhabitants were killed: 39 women, 22 children and 8 men. 1000 residents were left homeless. 31 houses and the nave of the town church of St. Michael were totally destroyed, 64 buildings were badly damaged, and there was damage to the Trinity Church and Ehrenstein Castle. After a memorial service in front of the town hall, the victims were buried in a mass grave in the new cemetery in Ohrdrufer.
In April 1945 US Army troops occupied the city. They also discovered the Ohrdruf forced labor camp , a satellite camp of the Buchenwald concentration camp .
At the beginning of July, Red Army troops moved into Ohrdruf. Ohrdruf became part of the Soviet occupation zone and in 1949 the GDR . Around 30,000 Soviet military personnel were stationed in the Ohrdruf garrison during the GDR era. In October 1991 the last of them left the place.
After the political change in 1989/90, the city took "an impressive development". Over 30 companies with more than 3000 jobs have started operations in an industrial park. The renovation of the old building and the infrastructure, the reconstruction of Ehrenstein Castle (with the citizens' hall, museum, archive) and new residential areas are considered significant events.
Ohrdruf military training area
An area between Ohrdruf, Jonastal and Bittstädt had been used as a maneuvering area since 1871, and in 1906 the Reichstag decided to set up an official military training area . Expansion of the site began in 1908. A troop camp including a small "military town" was created. The square was also used as a prisoner of war camp during the First World War . After the First World War it was in the hands of revolutionary soldiers and workers from Gotha. The military training area was then used by the Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht . The latter set up a large underground news center from the mid-1930s, the "Amt 10". The place is now owned by the federal government (Bundeswehr) .
Towards the end of 1944, the Ohrdruf or Ohrdruf-Nord forced labor camp , a branch of the Buchenwald concentration camp , was set up. The prisoners were used as slave labor to build extensive underground tunnels and bunkers. In March 1945 the camp had 11,700 prisoners. On April 2, 1945, most of the prisoners had to march 51 kilometers to Buchenwald on a death march under SS guard . Numerous prisoners collapsed during the march and died or were shot by the SS guards. The camp was liberated by American troops on April 4, 1945. It was also toured by General Eisenhower , who insisted that both his troops and civilians view this site of Nazi crimes for the next few days. The residents of Ohrdruf had to bury the bodies. Under the impression of what they saw, Mayor Schneider and his wife committed suicide.
In July 1945, the area was in accordance with the Yalta Declaration of the Red Army passed (the later Soviet Army), which further used as a military training ground until the 1,991th Among other things, a base for medium-range missiles (range up to 1500 km) was built. All buildings, including the military town from the imperial era, had to be demolished after the Soviet army withdrew. The place was extensively renovated. The remains of the Soviet Army included ammunition in sinkholes and bunkers.
Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière (CDU) announced on October 26, 2011 the Bundeswehr stationing concept and the abandonment of the Ohrdruf military training area. The further use of the site was then heatedly discussed. It is now clear that the area continues to militarily in total extension training area is used, and that is peace stone barracks in Gotha assumed.
The military training area is located in the Ohrdrufer Muschelkalkplatte and Apfelstädtaue bird sanctuary. Thanks to the lack of agricultural and military use over the last more than a hundred years, the area is home to a large number of threatened animal and plant species. Among the rare animals include, for example, the black stork , the Harrier , the honey buzzard , the Eurasian Hobby , the red kite , the common snipe , the corncrake , the Woodlark , the barred warbler , the shrike , the corn bunting , the hen harrier , the short-eared owl , the wild cat , the Small Horseshoe bat , crested newt , natterjack toad and others, some of which are included in the red list .

Crawinkel, Wölfis and Graefenhain were incorporated into Ohrdruf on January 1, 2019, for Luisenthal the city continues to be a fulfilling municipality.
coat of arms
Blazon : "In blue the silver, gold nimbed and belted Archangel Michael as a knee figure with a raised sword in the right hand and a scale with golden scales in the left hand".
Seals with the figure of the Archangel Michael as a soul weigher appeared only after the introduction of the Reformation. The coat of arms reminds of the origin of the place as a hermitage of St. Michael.

Culture and sights
Ehrenstein Castle
In Ohrdruf, to the right of the Ohra, is the Ehrenstein Castle from the years 1550 to 1590. The Renaissance building was once the residence of the Counts of Gleichen . From 1631 on, the counts and later princes of Hohenlohe temporarily resided there, and the castle remained in their possession until it was sold to the Gotha state in 1870. From 1957 to 1972 the castle housed a school for Soviet officers' children. The Ehrenstein Castle Interest Group was then able to save the dilapidated building from the planned demolition and began with reconstruction work in the early 1970s. These were intensively continued after reunification and completed in 2013. Ehrenstein Castle is now owned by the city of Ohrdruf and was once again used as a museum, library and archive. The new citizens' hall is located in the north wing. At the end of November 2013, two wings of the castle burned down - caused by the carelessness of roofers. The library and museum collections were largely destroyed by the fire and extinguishing water. Archives and citizens' hall have been preserved. The building is to be restored.
Ohra vault bridge
The stone vault bridge over the Ohra, built in 1593 (and renewed in 1998/99), connects the castle area with the actual city on the left of the Ohra via the former Langgasse (today Goethestrasse).
Michaeliskirche
The Church of St. Michaelis was the Protestant town church of Ohrdruf until February 1945, the beginnings of which go back to the 8th century. It was destroyed except for the tower in an air raid on February 6, 1945. Today only this church tower is left of her. It was rebuilt after the fall of the Wall until 1999, and was given a viewing platform and the spire again. At 54 meters high, it is again a landmark of Ohrdruf that can be seen far into the country. On its ground floor, Bonifatius - the apostle of the Germans - and the organist Johann Christoph Bach and his brother Johann Sebastian Bach , who learned to play the organ from him, are remembered. A small memorial on the neighboring square of the Michaeliskirche, which was destroyed in 1945, also reminds of this.
Marketplace
The town hall from the beginning of the 19th century is located on the market square based on the Franconian model and is surrounded by two to three-story town houses from the same period. In the middle is the approx. 400 year old Angel Fountain with the sandstone figure of the Archangel Michael. This is also on a corner of the town hall as a memorial erected in 1920 for the fallen of the First World War. Everything has been renovated in accordance with the listed buildings.
Old tannery
To the left of the Ohra, between the Michaelis Tower and the castle, is the old tannery technical museum .
Siechhof Church
The Siechhof Church was built in 1779 in the very north of the city on a medieval chapel location (Siechenhof) instead of a half-timbered building from 1603. The church, built in the early classical style, has a hipped roof and a characteristic roof turret. Inside there is a three-sided gallery and a mirror vault . In 1783 the pulpit altar wall from the 17th century was installed, it comes from the abandoned chapel of Ehrenstein Castle . The late Gothic parts of the former winged altar from the years 1510/1520 are particularly worth seeing . In the center they show the holy clan , the relatives of Jesus. The organ is of unknown origin and was restored from 1990–1992 by the organ building workshop Förster & Nicolaus from Lich. The architect Paul Schultze-Naumburg found in 1930 that the condition of the building was so bad that the church would become a traffic obstacle and should be demolished. It was possible to convince the Gotha authorities of the value of this unusual church. In the 1970s, the interior was extensively repaired and "now shines in its old splendor".
St. Trinity Church
The location of the Baroque St. Trinity Church , built between 1709 and 1714, is in the southern suburb of Ohrdruf, right outside the city gates. The church has been the main church in the city since the Michaelis Church was destroyed in February 1945 and is often used for concerts. Until 1945 the Trinity Church was also the city's garrison church .
city wall
The city wall has largely been preserved and is a listed building. The city gates, such as the forest gate, the Crawinkler gate, the Arnstädter gate and the death gate led through it until the 19th century.
city Park
The city park in front of the wall with a valuable population of deciduous trees was the city's former cemetery. On it are stone crosses of the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge with names, but without further identification.
Tobiashammer
To the south of the city is the Tobiashammer technical monument and museum .
House Mühlberg
The house Mühlberg , also known as "Castle Ohrdruf" or called "copper castle", was from 1933 to 1935 by Bodo Ebhardt built as a private residence for the Ohrdrufer entrepreneurs Thilo Muhlberg and is used as a training center today.

Water tower
The listed water tower on the Goldberg is a 14.5 m high tower that was built by the Ohrdruf master builder Max Riede for 6,000 marks and opened to the public as a lookout tower on July 23, 1911. At that time you could climb it for a fee of 10 pfennigs. From above you have a clear view into the distance around Ohrdruf to the ridge of the Thuringian Forest and the Hörsel Mountains.
