geography

Sachsenhausen is located on Landesstraße 2559 in the middle of the Thuringian Basin in an arable area. The place is on the northern slope of the Kleiner Ettersberg at the source of the Scherkonde .

history

In 1250 Sachsenhausen was first mentioned as Sassenhausen in a sales document from the Wechterswinkel monastery for the Pforta monastery . A parish is documented for the first time in 1288. As early as 1899 the pastor's office was abolished.

Village church

In the course of the Reformation , the monastery estates of Sachsenhausen and the neighboring Leutenthal were dissolved in 1552 and transferred to sovereign property. Already around a decade later they were issued again as fiefs. Since then, Sachsenhausen has belonged to the Leutenthal manor that was created from this, which was only dissolved in 1842. The two places of the manor together with the three neighboring places of the Kommende Liebstedt (Liebstedt, Wohlsborn , Goldbach ) formed an exclave of the Eckartsberga district belonging to the Electorate of Saxony . Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the exclave came to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . While the three villages of the Kommende Liebstedt were incorporated into the Weimar office, Leutenthal and Sachsenhausen came to the Buttstädt office in 1817 , which was opened in the Apolda administrative district of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach in 1850 . In 1920 Sachsenhausen came to the state of Thuringia.

Between 1878 and 1945 there was a rail connection to the Weimar-Buttelstedt-Großrudestedter Railway for the place . The line was dismantled as a reparation payment after the Second World War .

On January 1, 2019, the municipality of Sachsenhausen was merged with other municipalities of the administrative community of Northern Weimar to form the rural community of Am Ettersberg .
