Seega is a district of the community Kyffhäuserland in the Thuringian Kyffhäuserkreis .
geography
The place Seega is nestled between the karst rock slopes of the Hainleite , a shell limestone mountain range. A tributary of the Unstrut , the Wipper, flows through the small village . The so-called Wipper breakthrough valley , which has been designated a nature reserve since 1961, stretches in the south to Bilzingsleben . The paper mill to the south belongs to Seega .
history
The place is first mentioned as Syga in 1278 . Later in 1356 Seega was handed over to the rule of the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt , with which it remained until 1918. In those years , Arnsburg , southwest of the town center, secured the pass road that led through the gorge valley to Günserode at Seega . The castle with its kennel was besieged and destroyed by a peasant army in 1525.
The history of mining for potash salts should also not go unmentioned here. Not far from the village is the disused potash works union Schwarzburg . This mining union was founded on November 24, 1906. The commercial registration as " Union Schwarzburg" according to Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt law was not made until four years later. The excavation work on the Schwarzburg shaft began now . In the early summer of 1910 the final depth of 744.6 m was reached. In older rock salt two were soles struck: the m-724.6 and the 732.6 m level. In Örterbau was carnallite won and for further processing by cable car transported to the neighboring potash Guenther Hall. The cessation of mining work on the basis of § 83a of the decommissioning ordinance of October 22, 1921 took place in 1923. The Schwarzburg shaft was closed with a concrete cover in December 1926.
Seega was occupied by US troops in April 1945 and - like all of Thuringia - handed over to the Red Army at the beginning of July . So it became part of the Soviet Zone and, from 1949, of the GDR .
In 1945 and afterwards displaced persons found a new home in the community. Initially, they were viewed as intruders by some locals. Then they turned out to be an invigorating element, especially since they worked in different professions, farmers, craftsmen, gardeners, teachers and the like. a. worked and "stood their ground" everywhere. Some local families took care of the "new citizens" in a particularly humane way during this difficult time.
After the end of the 1973 school year, the rooms of the primary school (grades 1-4) built in 1950 were completely rebuilt and intended for use as a hunting inn. A dining establishment related to the hunt had become necessary because the district hunter festivals had been taking place in Seega since 1969. The renovation took place as part of the competition “ More beautiful cities and communities ”. It was opened in 1974 as a “Weidmannsheil” consumer restaurant with a modern Keiler bar. At the V. Kreisjägerfest 1979, a sleeping system was handed over in Seega , which corresponded to the international standards for such a system. Furthermore, a hunting and nature trail with a length of 3 km was created in the forest area west of Seega.
On December 31, 2012, the Seega community merged with other communities in the Kyffhäuser community to form the Kyffhäuserland community.

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on April 28, 1995 by the Thuringian State Administration Office.
Blazon : "In the wave cut bespalten of blue and silver with green shield main battlements in section; in front a silver fallen fish, behind a green oak branch with three leaves and an acorn. "
The Seega municipality is characterized by a landscape rich in forests and water. So the fish and the oak leaves as symbols of fishing and the deciduous forest are again in the coat of arms. The wave cut and the color blue also represent the river Wipper . The oak leaves should also refer to the hunting traditions of the community, which are still kept alive today. The most important building in the community was the Arnsburg, of which ruins can still be seen. The Arnsburg was the seat of various ruling families, the most important of which were the Counts of Schwarzburg . Symbolically for the castle, a tin cut separates the head of the shield.
The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Michael Zapfe .
Culture and sights
- About 1.5 km southwest of Seega, on a slope above the Wipper valley, is the ruin of the Arnsburg from the 14th century.
- The Protestant church is a presumably medieval choir tower church . The ship was remodeled in the 17th and 18th centuries. On the south side there is a reused drapery from an arched curtain window (marked 1520). In the west are roof turrets . The flat-roofed nave contains a three-sided gallery and a barrel vault in the choir . The church is no longer used (2014). The former rectory opposite is also empty.
- In the churchyard there is a war memorial for the fallen and missing soldiers of both world wars and a classical tomb in the form of an obelisk with an urn.
- In the village there is a double handle pump from the 2nd half of the 19th century with two suction pipes made of cast iron in neo-Gothic shapes.
- After 1945 a children's home, called “Children's Village”, was built above the village. It took in orphans from East Prussia. Small families were assigned bungalow-like houses with the stipulation that they could take in orphans in addition to their own children. Additional rooms were available for community life. During the GDR era, the facility was expanded to include the “Weidmanns Heil” restaurant and used as a recreation area by the “local recreation” interest group of the hunting and nature reserve in the Artern district. Numerous tourists from the GDR were able to access the Kyffhäuser recreation area from the bungalow settlement. An attempt by an investor to develop the system further after German reunification failed. Today the restaurant is empty and shows signs of decay.
