The mostly clayey rocks are supported by thick loess loam layers, especially in the hilltop position . In the broad Unstrut valley in the east, Auelehme are open-minded.
history
The place was first mentioned as Sebecke in a deed of donation from Count Erpho to the Würzburg Abbey in 859. The place got its name after a 1.5 km long, long silted lake. In the register of the tithe of the Hersfeld monastery, which was created between 881 and 899, Seebach is presumably mentioned under the name Seobach as a place in the Gau Friesenfeld subject to compulsory tithing . The Romanesque predecessor of today's Johanniskirche was built in 1123.
The moated castle ( Burg Seebach ) is said to have been built around 1227 by Lutz von Seebach on behalf of the Archbishops of Mainz. The von Berlepsch family acquired the castle in 1523, which was destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525 and then rebuilt. The castle was rebuilt, especially in the 19th century and 1911–1914, into a multi-storey stone building with a half-timbered structure that has been preserved to this day . Seebach belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office Langensalza until 1815 and after its cession to Prussia from 1816 to 1944 to the district of Langensalza in the province of Saxony .
The work of the castle owner and professional officer Hans Freiherr von Berlepsch (1857–1933) for scientific and practical bird protection was recognized in 1908 with state recognition by the Royal Prussian state government as an ornithological "test and model station" on his estate. The "old master of German bird protection" has been resting in a simple grave in the Seebach cemetery since 1933. Since 1936 the facility at Seebach Castle has been officially allowed to use the title of “State Bird Protection Station ”.
In 1945 an American, then a Soviet occupation moved into the castle. The von Berlepsch family was expropriated due to the land reform in the Soviet Zone and thus lost their headquarters in Seebach. Both von Berlepsch families had to leave Seebach.
In 1946 the "Ornithological Research Center" was able to move into the lower floor of the moated castle. It became a subdivision of the "Institute for Plant Protection Research " of the GDR in Kleinmachnow and was mainly concerned with the effects of the large-scale use of toxic agrochemicals in GDR agriculture on the bird world and with the "defense against harmful birds". The current head of the control room, Dr. Jaehne, the investigation of 300 toxic active substances on a specially kept colony of Japanese quail.
Seebach Castle underwent an urgently needed, thorough renovation after the fall of the Wall .
On June 30, 1994 Seebach was integrated into the new municipality of Weinbergen . Since January 1, 2019, it has been a district of this city through the accession of the municipality of Weinbergen to the city of Mühlhausen.
