Pferdsdorf is an agricultural district of the municipality of Krauthausen in the Wartburg district in West Thuringia , right on the border with Hesse . The district is about five kilometers as the crow flies west of Krauthausen west of the Werra .

geography

The district borders the city of Creuzburg in the north, Spichra in the east, the Eisenach districts of Hörschel and Wartha in the south and the Hessian community of Herleshausen and its district Willershausen in the west . The Pferdsbach, an orographically left tributary of the Werra, flows through the village and flows into it east of the village. The highest point is the Kielforst in the south of the district. The geographic height of the place is 208  m above sea level. NN .

The 300 to 350 year old linden tree at the cemetery, which characterizes the townscape, was designated as a natural monument in 1966 .

history

The landscape around Pferdsdorf was a Fulda fiefdom . In 1454 the fiefdom was transferred to Jürgen von Reckerode. The extensive forest area on the Kielforst south of Pferdsdorf belonged to the Creuzburg Jakobskloster . The community of Pferdsdorf was able to acquire this forest as a cooperative property and thus asserted itself against the interests of the Creuzburger Saline .

The village church of Pferdsdorf was built in 1766 on the square and from wall remnants of a pre-Reformation chapel and is a simple baroque building. The east portal of the walled churchyard, vaulted with a stone arch, only indistinctly shows the year 1560 in the apex.

In 1879, based on the census of 1875, statistical information on the location was published. This year, Pferdsdorf had 46 houses with 236 inhabitants. The size of the fields was 424.4 ha, of which farms and gardens 7.9 ha, meadows 44.1 ha, arable land 221.5 ha, forest 100.2 ha, ponds, streams and rivers 5.5 ha. Trifte, wasteland and orchards accounted for 45.1 hectares. The livestock population was also remarkable: Horse village had 31 horses, 172 cattle, 180 sheep, 131 pigs and 21 goats as well as 32 beehives.

The hope for industrialization was nourished from 1910 onwards by the preparation of the establishment of a brickworks near Creuzburg, which was also established and produced until the early 1950s. Pferdsdorf was one of the first places in Thuringia to be captured by American troops on April 1, 1945, while the residents were still in their hiding places on Kielforst watching the destruction of the neighboring town of Creuzburg and the fighting over the Werra line at Spichra and Hörschel.

From 1949 to 1990, the development of the place was shaped by its location in the restricted area of ​​the inner German border . In 1974, Pferdsdorf was combined with Spichra to form the community of Pferdsdorf-Spichra . In March 1994 the previously independent community of Pferdsdorf-Spichra was incorporated into Krauthausen.

traffic

The federal motorway 4 runs through the south on the Hörschel bridge over the Werra Valley . There is a connection to the trunk road in Eisenach-West near Deubachshof and near Herleshausen. A district road connects Pferdsdorf with state road 1017 , which until 2009 was dedicated as federal road 7a and leads in the direction of Eisenach or Herleshausen . Krauthausen is connected to Creuzburg (line 176) and Eisenach (line 174, via Krauthausen) by the Wartburgmobil bus lines .

From 1907 to 1962, Pferdsdorf had a train station on the Schwebda – Wartha line , which connected with Eisenach, Creuzburg , Mihla , Treffurt , Wanfried and Eschwege . Passenger traffic between Wartha and Mihla ceased in 1962. The last relic is the ruin of a bridge over the Pferdsbach to the east of the village.
