history

The village Rohrborn was first mentioned in a document on December 13, 1327. The occasion was the transfer of property and income in Rohrborn to the Augustinian monastery in Erfurt by the knight Hermann von Vippach .

In the Middle Ages, Rohrborn belonged to the Sömmerda office and came into the possession of the city of Erfurt as a woad cultivation area . Even today, a Waidmühlstein as a technical monument attests to this special agricultural culture. The Rohrborn Church was built with funds from the Erfurt city council. In 1802 Rohrborn came to Prussia as part of the exclave of the Sömmerda Office, to the French Principality of Erfurt in 1807 and to Prussia again in 1814. In 1816, like Sömmerda, the place was attached to the Prussian district of Weißensee .

According to a statistical study, the village of Rohrborn had 222 Protestant residents around 1840. 46 houses, 76 stables and barns, six meetinghouses and a school were mentioned. A teacher taught the school-age 25 boys and 24 girls. At that time, Rohrborn mainly operated agriculture. The artisanal weaving and textile production was present with a line loom. The overview names a baker, a shoemaker, seven maids and two servants as other commercial and craft businesses. The total livestock consisted of 30 horses, 1 donkey, 85 cattle, 213 sheep, 18 goats and 46 pigs. The village corridor was 1081 acres , of which the agricultural area was 1044 acres of arable land, 6 acres of garden land, 22 acres of meadow and 9 acres of pasture. The yield of the fields was estimated as mediocre.

Attractions

The oldest building in Rohrborn is the essentially Romanesque St. Michael Church ; in fact, it is the foundation area of the tower. The current nave, however, was not added to the still existing tower to the west until the beginning of the 17th century. There is an incised inscription from 1626. After the Seven Years' War , a large-scale repair was carried out in 1763 and in 1936 a comprehensive interior renovation was initiated. In 1992 the nave and tower were re-covered.

The Rohrborn Waidmühle is a technical monument . It was set up again in the center of the village on a private initiative in 1986. The Waidmühlstein was on a hill near the village, where it was called Hügelstein . The stone pillars had survived as the gate posts of the rectory, a rarity in their original condition. The mill has been functional again since 2009. At that time they celebrated a big woad mill festival. (In the picture, the Waidstein is covered with a tarpaulin to protect it from rain and snow.)

In the immediate vicinity of the Waidmühle is the "Drei-Kaiser-Eiche". It was planted in 1888, the three emperor year , under the supervision of the village mayor Friedrich Althanß.

In the center, z. B. on the green area near the village pond, there are a number of boundary stones , all of which have been somewhat restored. Author's assumption: They were collected and brought here, so they are no longer in their original place.
