Schlettach is a district of the Upper Franconian community of Weitramsdorf in the Coburg district .

geography

Schlettach is located about eight kilometers northwest of Coburg in the Callenberger Forest, near the Bavarian-Thuringian border. A community road from Weitramsdorf to Sülzfeld leads through the village.

history

It was first mentioned in a document in 1149. Another mention was made in 1245, when Hermann von Rotenhan gave four fiefs to “Sledde” to the Tambach monastery as compensation for damages . At the beginning of the 14th century, the village was under the rule of the Henneberger . In 1353 the place with the Coburg Land came by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged.

A chapel or church had stood in Schlettach since the beginning of the 15th century, which was under the parish of Gauerstadt and to whose district the larger Weitramsdorf belonged. The patronage of the church was St. Nicholas . The Reformation was introduced in the 1520s . As a result, Schlettach became an independent parish. In the course of the Thirty Years' War the village was totally destroyed in 1634. The church had been badly damaged and was no longer rebuilt. The services were then celebrated in the Weitramsdorf Church . The church ruins served, among other things, as a quarry for the schoolhouse built in 1815 in Weitramsdorf. In 1654 Schlettach was still deserted.

In 1864 the village had 10 houses and 55 inhabitants. On July 1, 1869, it was incorporated into Weitramsdorf.

In 1925 58 people lived in 9 houses. After the Second World War, the direct location on the inner-German border shaped the place until 1989 . In 1987 Schlettach had 66 residents and 22 residential buildings with 26 apartments.
