geography

Scheibe-Alsbach consists of the places Scheibe and Alsbach , which are located in the Thuringian Forest and in the Thuringian Slate Mountains , about four kilometers west of Neuhaus am Rennweg. The village is considered the gateway to the Schwarzatal. Platte lies in a gentle valley basin at a height of around 620 meters. Ascending uphill (south), Alsbach joins the district of Limbach directly on the Rennsteig at 750 meters above sea level. The Schwarza rises in the east of the municipality . It is dammed after a few 100 meters in the Schwarzatalsperre. The reservoir has served as a drinking water supply since 1987; a modern processing plant was built for this in the immediate vicinity. North of Scheibe-Alsbach on the Farmdenkopf is the upper basin of the Goldisthal pumped storage power plant with a dam height of 870 meters and thus represents the highest point in the Thuringian Slate Mountains.

The neighboring communities and places of Scheibe-Alsbach are clockwise, starting in the north: Goldisthal - Katzhütte - Neuhaus am Rennweg - Steinheid - Limbach - Siegmundsburg - Friedrichshöhe .

history

disc

The beginnings of Scheibe date back to 1618. In the Coburg caste register from 1492–1510 the name Scheuba-Scheibe is mentioned in the description of the Forschengreuther Forest. The name itself could be of Slavic origin. At first there was an iron hammer with a smelting plant and about two or three houses for the workers. The hammer mill was destroyed in the Thirty Years War and was not put back into operation. In 1737 the former manor house became a forester's house. Lumberjacks were given building sites there free of charge by the Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt rulers . The residents of Scheibe were parish off to Meuselbach , three (feet) hours away . From 1740 onwards, due to the great distance through impassable forest to Meuselbach, after the conclusion of a recess , Scheibe was given church care by Steinheid in neighboring Saxony-Meiningen . The way to Steinheid was not that far, but still arduous because it was only uphill for an hour.

In 1780 the place consisted of eleven houses, a forester's house, a soot hut and a cutting mill . Also since 1780 there was a teacher in the village who taught the five to six children privately. Only then did a divine sack be erected, as in winter one had previously been forced to leave the bodies unburied for weeks. In 1796 a Schulze (mayor) was appointed for the first time . In 1821 a school was built. In 1835, Louis Oels from Blankenhain founded the Scheiben-Alsbach porcelain factory , which was passed on to Messrs. Kister and Dressel in 1843. With the establishment of the porcelain factory, Scheibe grew rapidly. In 1838 the residents of the neighboring glassworks village Habichtsbach , which had been founded in 1735 by glaziers from narrow beech , were forced to move . In 1815 it consisted of three houses and had 28 residents. August Gehring acted as the first pastor of Scheibe, who collected around 5000 guilders for the building of a church on a trip to collectives from 1842 to 1845 .

Alsbach

Old spelling: Altesbach. The place owes its origin to the construction of a hollow glass works, which was built in 1711 by Johann Nicol Greiner from narrow beech. This soon fell into disrepair and was auctioned in 1726 for 200 Meissen gulden to the glass master Georg Greiner from Stützerbach. He had acquired the glassworks for his sons Martin, Gottlieb and Gottfried. Gottfried's son, Johann Gotthelf Greiner , invented Thuringian porcelain together with his cousin and later brother-in-law Gottfried Greiner. Johann Gotthelf Greiner is rightly considered the founder of the Thuringian porcelain industry. In 1813 the place consisted of 6 houses and 61 inhabitants. In 1842 the first Schulze was elected. In 1861 a postal expedition was set up.

At the end of the Second World War , Paul Gebhardt hoisted a white flag on his house. He was shot dead by SS members leaving . His grave in the cemetery commemorates this event. Another resident, the Catholic pastor Ludwig Jacquat, had been arrested by the Gestapo in Weimar and murdered in a mass shooting in Webicht , a forest near Weimar.

Since its foundation, Scheibe, like Alsbach, belonged to the Schwarzburg office, later to the royal Schwarzburg district administration office in Königsee and from 1922 to the Rudolstadt district . On October 1, 1923, Alsbach was incorporated into Scheibe and on February 13, 1924, Scheibe was renamed to Scheibe-Alsbach. On July 25, 1952, the community came to the Neuhaus am Rennweg district and with its dissolution in 1994 to the Sonneberg district. On December 31, 2012, the community of Scheibe-Alsbach was incorporated into the town of Neuhaus am Rennweg . The fulfilling municipality for Scheibe-Alsbach was previously Neuhaus am Rennweg.
