history

There are first documented mentions of places in the area of ​​the later Ebeleben office for Marksussra for the year 772 and for Ebeleben for the year 1198. In the western part of the town center of Ebeleben stood the medieval castle Ebeleben , which the lords of Ebeleben owned. These were ministerials from the Thuringian Landgrave . In 1198 a knight of Ebeleben was mentioned. The Ebelebener were later vassals of the Counts of Schwarzburg . The fiefdom was divided under Apel and Ludolph von Ebeleben in 1372.

Oberlehnsgeber were now the Counts of Schwarzburg and the Wettin Landgrave of Thuringia .

In 1544 the Reformation was introduced in Ebeleben by the knight Hans von Ebeleben. After the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, the Albertine lordship remained, whose property has now been elevated to the Electorate of Saxony .

In 1616 the indebted Ebelebener sold the property to the Count of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen . In 1651 the lords of Ebeleben died out. The Ebeleben castle was built by the Black burgers and served from 1651 to 1681 as the residence of the branch line Schwarzenburg-Ebeleben.

The overlordship of the Electorate of Saxony was retained even after the elevation of the Grafschaft Schwarzburg-Sondershausen to an immediate imperial county in 1697, which meant that the Electorate of Saxony had to give up its sovereign rights to the rest of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen.

As a result of the defeat of Saxony , which was appointed a kingdom in 1806 , the Congress of Vienna decided in 1815 to assign territories. a. all areas in Thuringia under the supremacy of Saxony , such as the Langensalza office concerned. The sovereignty over Billeben, Ebeleben, Holzsußra and Marksußra was ceded to the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen . Only the exclave Bothenheilingen came in 1816 at the district Langensalza in the administrative district of Erfurt the Prussian province of Saxony .

In 1850 Ebeleben became the seat of the administrative district Ebeleben , in which the Ebeleben office was opened.
