Plesten is a district of the Upper Franconian town of Neustadt bei Coburg in the Bavarian district of Coburg in Germany .

location

Plesten is located about seven kilometers southeast of Neustadt above the neighboring village of Fürth am Berg on a dump at the foot of the Spitzberg, which is about one hundred meters higher. Municipal roads to Unterwasungen , Fürth am Berg and Weikenbach lead through Plesten.

history

Plesten was first mentioned in a document in 1149 as "Pliesten". The Würzburg Bishop Siegfried von Truhendingen confirmed that the newly founded Mönchröden Monastery was given a forest by Hermann Sterker , Burgrave of Meißen and his brother, Count Sterker, which was bordered by the Plestener Wieslein. There is no clear explanation of the meaning of the name Plesten.

A trade route ran through the settlement, connecting the Upper Main Valley via Zedersdorf , Fürth am Berg and Judenbach with the area around Saalfeld . A tower hill system on the castle grass , west of today's town center, served to protect the trade route. This fortification was the seat of the von Plesten family, which was first mentioned in 1162 during a dispute between the Banz monastery and Count Hermann von Wohlsbach. In the first half of the 14th century, the von Plesten family died out.

The meadow mill on the Steinach , built around 1710, was located in the Plesten area . Originally it was a grinding mill , in the end a Märbelmühle, which burned down in 1894.

Plesten has been a subsidiary of Fechheim since the Middle Ages . In the first half of the 19th century there was a prep school in Plesten . From 1840 the children attended the Fürth school, from 1859 the one in Fechheim. After the completion of the new Fürth schoolhouse in 1878, the children from Plesten were reassigned to Fürth. The Plesten students have been going to school in Neustadt since 1971.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, ten citizens of Plesten voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and eight against. Plesten and Wüstenahorn were the only communities with a majority in favor of joining. From July 1, 1920, Plesten belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .

In the Reichstag election of March 5, 1933 , the NSDAP received 46 of 48 votes cast in Plesten.

In the First World War, lost five and in the Second World War three Plestener soldiers their lives.

On January 1, 1971, Plesten merged with the previously independent communities of Aicha , Fechheim , Fürth am Berg , Mittelwasungen and Unterwasungen to form the community Wasung . Wasung was dissolved on January 1, 1976 and Plesten was incorporated as a district in the city of Neustadt bei Coburg .

The drinking water supply used to be through house, pump and running wells. A community-owned system with house connections existed from 1958. From July 1, 1978, the water supply was provided by the Spittelsteiner Group, which was taken over in 1986 by the Neustadt municipal utilities. From 1920 the electricity suppliers were the Gumpertschen mill in Mupperg and from the beginning of 1938 the Bamberg overland plant in Upper Franconia. In 1997 Stadtwerke Neustadt took over the power supply. In 1987 Plesten had 23 residential buildings, 13 of which were built after 1949.
