Harra battle
The Harra battle was a bloody confrontation on October 6, 1826. Farmers from Harra and other villages and troops of Prince Heinrich LXXII met. on each other.
prehistory
As early as March 31, 1819, the homeowners in the Principality of Reuss-Lobenstein were asked to "voluntarily" join the Magdeburg Fire Insurance Institute. This request was largely ignored because the prevailing opinion was that the construction of the houses meant that fires were hardly to be feared. On August 24, 1824, all homeowners were finally obliged to join. As in the run-up, it was evidently neglected to convey the advantages of such an insurance to the residents.
The battle"
Various briefings and letters to and from the state government and Heinrich LXXII. themselves did not lead to any result. The denied insurance premiums were collected by execution .
In order to prevent the impending seizure by force, farmers from the town and some surrounding villages gathered in Harra. Thereupon Heinrich sent LXXII. two military companies to Harra. Finally, on October 6, 1826, the unarmed but excited farmers and soldiers faced each other in today's village square in Harra. The invitation to part was unsuccessful. The military then opened fire for reasons unknown.
Seventeen people were killed in the attack and several were seriously wounded.
Aftermath
Some Bavarian farmers involved turned to the Archbishop of Bamberg , so that the matter came before the Federal Assembly . A commission of inquiry was sent to Lobenstein-Ebersdorf. The result of the investigation was not disclosed. The person responsible for the fire order could apparently not be determined.
In the 1980s, a plaque commemorating the battle was attached to the former restaurant "Eintracht" on the village square, which is still there today. The building now serves as a residential building.
Manor Harra
The manor Harra was a great diet capable manor . The patrimonial jurisdiction in the form of inheritance jurisdiction over his possessions in Harra, Kiessling , Schlegel and Seibis was connected with the possession of the manor . At the end of the Middle Ages the estate belonged to the von Blankenberg family . In 1554 the estate was divided. Now there was the lower and the upper Harra estate. There was also the manor Kießling which was connected to the manor Harra. In 1576 the von Reitzenstein family acquired the Kießling manor, in 1582 and 1608 they also acquired the lower and upper Harra manors. In 1641 they sold the upper estate to the von Watzdorf family , who sold it on to von Draxdorf in 1663 . The lower estate and the manor Kießling were sold to Muffel von Ermreuth in 1679 and 1680 .
In 1688 the von Watzdorf family again acquired the Kießling manor, and in 1692 also the two estates in Harra. In 1700 the three Gütter came into the possession of the wife of Heinrich XVII. (Reuss-Lobenstein) and 1712 to the Counts of Gleichen and Hatzfeld . In 1721 Reuss younger line became the owner again and the goods became Kammergut. The lower jurisdiction continued to exist, but was perceived by the Office Lobenstein . Jurisdiction was abolished in 1851 and passed to the state.
During the property dispute between the Reuss People's State and the Princely House, the property became the property of the People's State. He sold the state property in 1926 in connection with the construction of the Saale dam to the stock corporation "Obere Saale".
