Seligenthal is a district of Floh-Seligenthal in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district in Thuringia .
location
Seligenthal is located in the north of the district, on the southwest slope of the Thuringian Forest on the Rennsteig and on the upper reaches of the Schmalkalde . The mountains on the Rennsteig are up to 800 meters high. The Ebertswiese is also in this area. The place is located on the steadily ascending winding state road 1026 , which leads over Kleinschmalkalden and the Heuberg . It crosses the Thuringian Forest.
history
The place was first mentioned on October 16, 1320. The certificate is a letter of purchase in which a certain Wolfram Schrimpf leaves Count Berthold von Henneberg several goods, including "Selgenthal". But mining settlements apparently existed here a long time before. The importance of mining for the development of the entire region was great. With the emergence of several iron smelting furnaces, Zain and wire hammers, iron and steel goods production became the livelihood of the inhabitants for centuries. During the Thirty Years War Seligenthal was attacked, looted and burned down to three houses in 1636. Between 1687 and 1698 a baroque church was built in the place , which is decorated with numerous paintings on the ceiling and galleries. On June 1, 1994, Floh , Seligenthal and Hohleborn merged to form the new municipality of Floh-Seligenthal.
About two kilometers northeast of the village through the Haderholzgrund to the Hohen Straße are the remains of the ramparts and moats of the pre-medieval Falkenburg castle complex on the Falkenburgstein .
