Kaimberg manor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kaimberg manor is now a district of the city of Gera and some time ago it was probably one of the city limits as an outpost to protect and feed the population. Even the development led through sacred buildings to the spiritual center of a village church . The Kaimberg manor was probably the spiritual, economic and settlement center, according to the documents from the past. The branch church was probably built in the 15th century. The late Gothic church is hidden behind the trees of the cemetery and the former park . The interior of the church was renewed in 1753.

history

The Kaimberg manor was a manor suitable for state assembly . The patrimonial jurisdiction in the form of higher and inheritance jurisdiction over Kaimberg, a forest in Gorlitzsch , two houses in Collis and the Saxon-Altenburg towns of Thränitz and Grobsdorf (half) was connected with the possession of the manor . Upper jurisdiction fell to the state in 1836, while lower jurisdiction was repealed on January 1, 1855.

Originally the main town was Pforten , around 1500 this becomes Kaimberg, so the Lords of Kaimberg also get jurisdiction over the surrounding villages (until 1850 or 1852). The trial files still exist about the murder of the shepherd's wife Kraft von Kaimberg, who was first bloody slain by her husband in 1748 and then strangled. After the verdict, the old Kaimberg sheep farm was also demolished as the site of the gruesome bloodshed.

The owners of the manor were the von Kaym and von Koppy families and, since the end of the 16th century, the von Ende family . The connection with the Pforten manor was broken when the estate was divided in 1662. Since 1753 the estate has belonged to the von Ziegenhierd family and in 1766 Heinrich Friedrich von Kutzschenbach bought the manor for 30,625 thalers. In 1868 the Altenburg councilor Theodor Schmidt acquired the property from Bernhard von Kutzschenbach, which later passed into the possession of Schmidt's son-in-law, Colonel Baumbach. The Gera manufacturer Robert Todt had been the owner since 1917.

location

The manor Kaimberg is located in the Gessental in the now southeastern urban area of ​​Gera near the border with Kauern .

The former knight's seat of Herr von Kaimberg, high above the town, was owned by the von Kaimberg family until 1852. Well-known subsequent owners followed.

After 1946

After 1946, the area was subject to the development pressure of the city of Gera and the existing laws. With this consideration the former rural core of the past should be remembered.
