history
Röhrensee was first mentioned in a document in 1186. In 1249 the place was called Rorinse , other names according to the Arnstadt archives were Rornse (1153), Rornsee (1430/31) and from 1850 finally Röhrensee . According to a legend, there was a "roaring lake" here, which could have given the place its name. Politically, he has always belonged to Mühlberg or to the possessions of the rulers based on the Mühlburg. For a long time these were the counts of equals . They sold the Mühlberg office, including Röhrensee, in the late Middle Ages to the Archdiocese of Mainz ( City of Erfurt ). From now on the place belonged to Kurmainz. In 1802 the entire Erfurt Kurmainz possessions came to Prussia . The area was occupied by French troops between 1806 and 1809 (including after the battles near Jena and Auerstedt , the Fourth Coalition War ) and 1813 (after the Battle of Leipzig ). The repeated, long-term billeting of the French and the related benefits in kind and money hit the village very hard. Shortly afterwards, the Mühlberg office was incorporated into the Erfurt district of the Prussian province of Saxony , which was formed in 1816 . It was an exclave completely surrounded by Saxe-Gotha . In 1871 the place fell victim to a major fire. In 1908, a little more than a square kilometer of fields were ceded to the Reich Military Treasury for the establishment of the Ohrdruf military training area . In 1952 the place came from the district of Erfurt to the district of Arnstadt , which in turn became part of the Ilm district in 1994 . In the same year the Wachsenburg community was founded, which the previously independent village joined. With the dissolution of the municipality on December 31, 2012, the place came to the municipality of Wachsenburg .
