geography
Reed lies in the Thuringian Basin . The surrounding places are: Greußen in the northwest, Ottenhausen and Weißensee in the east, Straussfurt in the south and Gangloffsömmern in the west. To the north of Schilfa lies a flat mountain range. The wind turbines built on it determine the landscape in this direction (“optics don't count”).
history
The name Schilfa or reeds is derived from a place in a damp area overgrown with reeds. Schilfa is already mentioned in a legend from the time of Charlemagne (768–814), documented in 1253. In 1266, a knight Henricus Hake is mentioned, presumably Ministeriale on the Lower Sachsenburg (also called Hakenburg). Schilfa Castle, which was built in the 14th century, probably goes back to the von Hagke family . In 1318 Schilfa belonged to the Landgraviate of Thuringia . A church was mentioned in the village in the 14th century and a castle in the 16th century. Gangloff Hacke built the current church in 1555 . In 1575 three estates were mentioned in Schilfa, in 1584 distributed among three sons of Hagke.
During the Thirty Years War, the place suffered so much that it is said to have remained uninhabited for six years. Georg Dietrich von Hagke (1650–1715) did a lot for Schilfa. So he rebuilt the church, which had been destroyed in the war, and in 1699 the first school (which was still a residential building until 1994). The village was also plundered and pillaged several times during the Seven Years' War , especially by the French on their retreat. In 1806, Schilfa suffered again from contributions and pillage by French troops, in 1813 by (allied) Russians.
Until 1815, Schilfa belonged to the administrative office of Weißensee . In 1815 the place became Prussian , as a village in the district of Weißensee in the administrative district of Erfurt in the province of Saxony . Baron Friedrich Bernhard von Hagke (1822–1874) ran progressive agriculture on his large manor, built a magnificent castle and rebuilt the farm buildings from 1850–1862. He made a name for himself as a regional historian and in 1852 became district administrator of the Weissensee district. In the middle of the 19th century the flourishing town had 172 inhabitants. In 1865 a family crypt of the Hagkes with a chapel was built on the hill above Schilfa. From 1868 the Erfurt-Nordhausen railway ran between Schilfa and Gangloffsömmern, which in 1888 received a stop in Gangloffsömmern. In 1904 a new water pipe was connected, and in 1906 a new school was built. 13 Schilfa soldiers did not return from the First World War . Their names were engraved on the little bell.
During the Second World War , agriculture was continued with men, women and prisoners of war unfit for military service. Schilfa had to take in evacuated women and children from areas at risk of air warfare, and since the beginning of 1945 also many refugees from the eastern regions. The war claimed 18 dead and missing from the town. A plaque in the interior of the church commemorates them. On April 10, 1945, Schilfa itself was occupied by US troops without a fight . A German soldier who rests in the local cemetery was shot dead in the pine forest. In June 1945, Schilfa was also incorporated into the Soviet-occupied zone , from 1949 the GDR , and so went along with all the corresponding social changes. The squire Gangloff Friedrich von Hagke was arrested by the NKVD in August 1945 and died in January 1946 in a camp in Vologda in the Soviet Union. His wife Margarethe and her family were expelled from the Weissensee district in October 1945 by order of the district commander. The manor with 339 ha subject to the non-compensated expropriation and was divided to 69 "Country takers". On the basis of Soviet SMAD Order No. 209 issued in 1947, the intact castle and most of the manor's farm buildings were demolished in 1948 . The valuable archive and library were also lost. Part of the park was cut down and the hereditary burial looted. A number of new farmer's houses were built instead of the manor buildings and to the north of them. The village completely changed its character. On July 1, 1950, Schilfa became a district of Gangloffsommern. At that time it had about 420 inhabitants. In 1953 the LPG "Karl Marx" was founded, which in 1960 merged with Gangloffsommern to form the LPG "August Frölich". In 1960 the place built a department store. In 1972 the school ended its classes. In 1972 the chapel above the von Hagke family's hereditary funeral was demolished. In 1986 the large old, dilapidated farm building of the manor was demolished.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the LPG dissolved. New homes were built, partly instead of new farms. In 1994 the von Hagke family got the property back with their hereditary funeral. This was repaired without a chapel. From 1994 to 1999, Schilfa was the focus of funding within the framework of village renewal by the Free State of Thuringia. 1997 to 2002 the church was restored. In 2002 the construction of wind turbines north of Schilfa began. As a "compensatory measure" for the construction of the federal highway 71, the extensive renaturation of the former castle pond and the planting of woody trees took place. In 2003 Schilfa was able to celebrate the 750th anniversary of its first documentary mention with a pageant.
