The church in Schnellmannshausen

Schnellmannshausen was first mentioned in 876 in a document from Ludwig the German as Snelmunteshusa (see place name). The next mention of the place was in 1104.

Site and early history

Schnellmannshausen was laid out as a street village, it was created along the Schnellmannshausen brook. Not far from today's location, there was the small settlement Hilvershausen on the way to Schrapfendorf. Just like Reinboldshausen (towards Treffurt), it has been a desert since the Thirty Years' War . The valley of Schnellmannshausen belonged in the northern part to the rulership of the Lords of Treffurt until 1336 , in the southern part the Counts of Orlamünde first ruled , they sold this free float to the Thuringian Landgraves , Schnellmannshausen thus belonged to the administrative district of Creuzburg Castle , the later Office of Creuzburg .

The church

The first church is said to have existed before 1100, the oldest part of today's church is the Romanesque tower. The present nave was not built until 1792–1794. Inside is an organ created by the organ builder Dittus from Großburschla in 1797 , which has since been repaired several times. The ceiling painting is also worth seeing, still in the version of the last renovation from 1936/37, the church was last renovated in 2000. The church is surrounded by a high wall, a fortified church can be assumed. On the churchyard wall are the pillory stone (from 1610) and a nail stone - a reminder of medieval customs. At least two mills belonged to the village. The Obermühle was built in 1650 and has been an oil and sawmill since 1850. The lower mill was in operation until 1962. The local chronicle reports on June 27th, 1771 of a severe flood to which these mills and 9 houses fell victim.

In 1918 the first houses were connected to the power grid, Volteroda and Schrapfendorf had to wait until 1940 for this connection.

As early as 1903, water pipes were laid in Oberdorf, Thuringia, so that every household now had a tap in the house. The Prussian Unterdorf did not participate in this project for reasons of cost. So the local residents had to continue to fetch their water from various wells in the village, one of which with the Vogelborn in the center, directly on the border between the two districts, is still preserved. It was only two years later that the sub-village decided to lay water pipes as well. This connection was particularly cheap because you could use the upper village's aqueduct in Fronstraße (today called Straße der Einheit). To compensate for this, the Prussian Unterdorf participated in the new edging of the Semmich spring, also known as the Prussian Sparkasse.

Development of inheritance

In 1336 the Treffurt knights were disempowered and their property was divided up as the Treffurt inheritance. The three Ganerbe had their administrative offices in Treffurt ( Hessenhof , Mainzerhof and Sächsischer Hof ). In 1802 the Mainz part of the inheritance came to Prussia . After 1806 the Unterdorf was part of the Kingdom of Westphalia . In 1815 the lower village finally became Prussian and belonged to the district of Mühlhausen i. Th. At.

The two districts were not united until 1946, when the Allies dissolved Prussia after the Second World War. In the course of this, the Thuringian state parliament passed a law in which the unification of the two districts was decided on July 1, 1946. Schnellmannshausen came to the district of Eisenach as early as 1946 , while the northern neighboring towns of Treffurt , Falken and Großburschla were only added to the district of Eisenach with the regional reform in 1950 .

Incorporations

The small settlement Volteroda came to Schnellmannshausen as early as 1973 . In 1987 this place had 55 inhabitants, the Hattengehau farm had 14 and the Schrapfendorf farm had 6 inhabitants. After the fall of the Wall and German reunification in 1990 Schnellmannshausen came to Treffurt as part of the territorial reform of 1993.

Place name

Schnellmannshausen comes from "Snelmunteshusa", which means "at the house of Snelmunt". Snelmunt is a name that can be broken down into the components "snel" and "munt". "Snel" stands for bold, arguable, "munt" is still used today in the word guardian, i. H. Protector included. The name "Snelmunt" stands for "the bold protector".
