Geology and mineral resources
The community is located in the Krebsbachtal, a side valley of the Ruhlabaches / Erbstrom. An originally existing lake gave the place its name, it silted up in the late Middle Ages.
From a geological point of view, the place lies in a leaching zone - this is indicated by several sinkholes in the northern part of the district. Minor copper ore deposits are found underground, especially on the border with Ruhla and Winterstein, which in the 16th century was intended to be used for mining. The Klingelloch shaft on the Great Wartberg is a reminder of these attempts . Over the course of the day, gypsum was mined on the Goldberg at the Schmerbach border and refined into quicklime in the kilns located there . Also noteworthy is the existing cave near the summit of the Great Wartberg, the legendary oven hole .

Several ponds were created for agricultural purposes, and there are sinks created by sinkholes, some of which are filled with water. The watershed between the Erbstrom and Emse rivers runs over the Goldberg.
history
In 860 the Franconian nobleman Erphold is named as the first count in Tonna. He is also considered the founder and namesake of Erfurt . King Ludwig the German had given him the town of Tonna. However, the sex with Erphold died out in the same year. Shortly before his death, he is said to have given his possessions in the grave field and in the upper Eichsfeld to the abbey of Fulda and the Würzburg monastery. Seebach is also mentioned in this document.
Seebach, or the Seewich , as the place was popularly called, used to belong to the Farnroda rule and was probably founded as a clearing settlement by forest farmers and shepherds at the instigation of the Thuringian landgraves .
Middle Ages and Early Modern Times
The settlement was territorially isolated for centuries and only connected to the main town of Farnroda via a narrow corner of land - the Hucheroda suburb . The place Seebach belonged to the Kirchberg court in the Duchy of Saxony-Eisenach . All other neighboring places, however, belonged to the Uetterodtschen court , justice office Thal in the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha .
The original place was, according to the settlement, a forest hoof village with its houses scattered along the stream or in groups. Until agriculture required more land, the lower area of the valley was used for fish farming, for which a large water basin was dammed up by earth walls. During the Thirty Years War , heavy fighting broke out in the vicinity of Seebach when two enemy regiments met in the woods near Sondra and Schmerbach.
17th century
In the 17th century, the place became known through the Seewich miracle doctor Johannis Dicel . Dicel was born in Seebach in 1676 as the seventh son of a poor man and was interested in the effects of herbs, medicinal and medicinal plants. As an autodidact he was notorious among the trained pharmacists and doctors, but that did not prevent the Eisenach Duke Johann Wilhelm from giving him the title of High Princely Medicus in 1724 , which allowed him to continue his practice. As a benefactor of his home community, he donated the building of the Seebach church in 1735, raised the funds for the salary of the pastor and the school teacher and also donated most of the money for the new building of the school in Seebach. Dicel died on November 9th, 1758. Posterity appreciated his services better than his contemporaries and had a plaque walled in at the church in 1836 next to the church door in his memory.
19th century
In the 19th century Drechsler crafts spread in Seebach, in the resort worked about 40 Drechsler for Ruhlaer meerschaum -Pfeifen- manufacturers as a supplier and produced wooden bowls and tubes. The tobacco pipes depicted in the local coat of arms can be traced back to this activity.
Around 1875 there were 67 houses and 424 inhabitants. The Seebach district had an area of 362.36 hectares, of which 11.7 hectares were accounted for by courtyards and gardens, 40.05 hectares of meadows and 151.06 hectares of arable land. Forest ownership was 147.23 hectares, ponds and streams 0.51 ha, roads, drifts and orchards 11.70 ha. The livestock was given as 10 horses, 130 cattle, 240 sheep, 75 goats and 85 pigs.
Industrialization in the 20th century
In 1892, construction work began in Seebach for a supplier factory for the Ruhla company, Gebr. Thiel . In 1913 the production of pillar drilling machines began . In 1932 Gebr. Thiel GmbH built a clock factory in Seebach, where clockwork - time fuses were manufactured during the Second World War using forced labor from the Soviet Union . The Seebach clubhouse was built in 1938. Until the mid-1930s, however, Seebach remained a place dominated by handicrafts and agriculture.
The watch factory, nationalized in 1952 , was renamed VEB Uhrenwerk Klement Gottwald in 1954 . Seebacher LPG was founded in 1957 as a cooperative and farmed the valley slopes as a pasture. Because of the poor transport conditions in winter, the winding and narrow local connecting road between Thal and Seebach was abandoned in the 1960s and replaced by a new building - part of today's federal highway 88 . From 1970 to 1972 another machine factory was built in Seebach, as well as 650 residential units, a school and a first department store. When microelectronics was promoted in the GDR economy around 1980 , Seebach was one of the development and competence centers of this branch of industry and was simultaneously linked to the construction of four prefabricated residential areas ( Am Stein , Friedrich-Engels-Ring , Wirtsgasse and Neue Straße ), a thermal power station and the corresponding industrial infrastructure.
The development after the reunification
After the political change in 1989–1990, the large company VEB Uhrenwerke Ruhla collapsed under trust management . Private, highly specialized small and medium-sized companies emerged, such as Eurochron GmbH, Gardé Uhren und Feinmechanik Ruhla GmbH. As a result of the spin-off, companies in tool and special machine construction, electronics production and plastics processing were also created.
Numerous small and medium-sized companies benefited from the successes of the automotive industry in the Eisenach economic area as suppliers or service providers.
coat of arms
The green color stands for the state of Thuringia as the “green heart of Germany”. The two crossed tobacco pipes stand for the woodturning trade that was part of the village in the past. The origin of this trade can be seen in connection with the production of tobacco pipes, which began around 1740 in neighboring Ruhla. The Seebach church book mentions a Röhrsgens maker for the first time in 1756 . Around 1900, Seebach was home to exactly 55 woodturners. This craft has not been practiced in the village since around the 1990s. The gear symbolizes the industry based in Seebach. The coat of arms was introduced in 1946.

However, the numerous industrial companies, the four prefabricated housing estates and the single-family houses built by private individuals on the western and north-eastern outskirts are now characteristic of the place.
