history
Along the middle Saale valley near Jena , Tautenburg, Dornburg / Saale , Camburg and other places, castles and fortifications have been built since the 10th century, which prove the pushing back of the Slavs in the reign of the German kings Heinrich I and Otto I. A smaller castle complex - called Hausen - was also built near Poxdorf. The castle site, now a ground monument , is located about 1.5 km east of the village at the exit of the Teufelsgrund . The satellite village of the same name Hausen was also destroyed. The castle primarily served to protect two trade routes that passed east below the castle: a north-south connection (Nürnberger Straße) from Nuremberg to Naumburg / Saale and Merseburg and an east-west connection from Dornburg / Saale towards Zeitz and Altenburg . This old road also led through the Tautenburger Wald towards Tautenburg. The castle was protected by steep slopes on three sides and to the east there was a wall-moat fortification. The castle and village of Hausen are said to have been destroyed in the Saxon civil war in 1450 . In the years 1239 and 1256 the Lords of Hausen were mentioned.
With Wolfgang Kahl 1145 is mentioned as the first documentary year Poxdorfs.
Originally the taverns of Tautenburg were gentlemen over Poxdorf. After this noble family died out, the place belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office of Tautenburg from 1640/52 . With the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Poxdorf became part of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach and in 1822 was incorporated into the Bürgel and Tautenburg office. In 1850 the place came to the administrative district Weimar II (from 1868: administrative district Apolda ) of the Grand Duchy. The village has belonged to the state of Thuringia since 1920.
