history

Seeba was first mentioned in a document in 830 as zi demo Sune ( to the lake ). The Neuenberg monastery near Fulda owned the Fronhof and the lake here. The town hall was probably part of the Mark Hoiti 1200 years ago. (Hoiti is the old name of Helmershausen). In 1320/23 the Fulda towns of Seeba and Bettenhausen became the property of the Counts of Henneberg -Schleusingen and were incorporated into the Sand Office , but legally they belonged to the Kaltennordheim district . In 1350 they were pledged again to the Fulda monastery . After the pledge was redeemed in 1419, the two places belonged to the Henneberg office of Maßfeld , with which they came under joint administration of the Ernestines and Albertines after the Hennebergs died out, and finally to the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen from 1680 .

In 1723 the church, school, all houses and barns except for one shepherd's house were destroyed in a major fire. On January 1st, 1971 Seeba was incorporated into Herpf . On August 1, 1996, the place was separated from Herpf and reclassified into the municipality of Rhönblick .

Attractions

Church in Seeba
  • The Protestant Marienkirche was rebuilt in 1725–1732 after the village fire. The organ on the east gallery dates from 1668. It was built by Johann Moritz Weise (1632–1704) from Gotha, originally for the church in Herpf , and rebuilt here in 1760 by master organ builder Johann Caspar Rommel (1721–1800) from Roßdorf / Rhön . In 2000 a restoration was carried out by Orgelbau Hoffmann . The instrument comprises 11 registers on 1 manual (C, D – c 3 ) and pedal (C, D – d 1 ).
The lake in Seeba
  • The Seebaer See is a collapse lake, which was created by leaching in the shell limestone that predominates here. According to a legend, a rich widow in Seeba was annoyed with her two greedy sons before she died. Both wanted to own the meadow at the Seeb , which had been created years before by draining. Therefore, she wished that after her death the water-filled Träbeser Loch (near Träbes , approx. 2 km from Seeba) should run out and thereby flood the meadow. After the night of her death, the Träbeser Loch was actually empty and the meadow turned into a pond, the Seeb .
