history

The first written mention of Seidmannsdorf is dated to 1075. The place name "Sithmarsdorff" at that time is probably derived from the Slavic proper name Zitomirov. The village was a royal estate that belonged to the Provosts Peter and Paul on the Veste and was included in the construction of the Saalfeld monastery . In 1289 the abbot Theodoricas von Saalfeld gave the place to the Sonnefeld Cistercian convent . In 1291 Pope Nicholas IV sent a letter of freedom and protection to the Sonnefeld monastery, in which the place Seidmarsdorf was mentioned. The Reformation followed in the middle of the 16th century .

In 1632 Wallenstein moved with his soldiers via Seidmannsdorf and Löbelstein to the fortress to besiege them.

After the death of Duke Albrecht in 1699, Seidmannsdorf came to Sachsen-Hildburghausen in 1705 as an exclave of the Sonnefeld office . In 1826 the office of Sonnefeld came back to Saxony-Coburg in accordance with the Hildburghausen partition agreement .

In 1806 French troops set up camp in the town on the march to the battle of Jena and Auerstedt . At the First World War, 60 men of the community took part in ten soldiers killed a memorial on the outskirts.

Seidmannsdorf was the first municipality in the Coburg district to receive electricity from the overland control center founded in 1911 and to have its own water pipeline.

On January 22nd, 1869 Löbelstein, which can be traced for the first time in 1515, was incorporated into Seidmannsdorf. In 1910 the villages had 318 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 330.
