geography

Singen is located in the valley ("Singer Grund") of the Singer Bach , a right tributary of the Ilm, only 2 km away, on the gently rolling hills of the Ilm-Saale-Platte , from which the Singener Berg , 583 meters above sea level, dominates the landscape protrudes in all directions. Its yew and silver fir stocks are remarkable . From the village the Singer Grund stretches to the west down to the Ilm. The place itself is at an average altitude of 460 meters.

history

church

Singing was first mentioned in 1294. It was also a monastery village owned by the Paulinzella monastery . In the district of Singen there was still a village. It is the wild Rottenbach . The plateau of the legendary Singener Berg was settled in prehistoric times. Its use is still unclear today. In 1721 Melissantes was standing in front of undefined ruins. The Nuremberg-Erfurt highways ran through the village. After Singen the way to Hamburg was clear. This connection belonged to the Hanseatic trade routes . It was still in great use in the middle of the 19th century. The name of the place is derived from sengen , as slash and burn used to take place here.

The town's church dates from 1745. In 1895, Singen was connected to the Arnstadt – Saalfeld line .

Through the construction of this railway line, fossil finds were discovered and recovered during earthworks around 1894, which could be supplemented with renewed earthworks in 1930. As a result, Singen also became known archaeologically.

Until 1920 Singen belonged to the Stadtilm office in the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt ( suzerainty ). From 1920 to 1952 the place belonged to the district of Arnstadt . In 1952 the district of Arnstadt was divided and Singen was part of the now smaller district of Arnstadt . In 1994 the Ilmenau and Arnstadt districts were reunited under the name Ilm District. From April 6, 1994, Singen belonged to the community of Singerberg , which also included Dörnfeld an der Ilm , Cottendorf , Traßdorf , Griesheim , Hammersfeld , Geilsdorf and Gösselborn . On June 1, 1996, this community was then part of the newly formed Ilmtal community . This was incorporated into Stadtilm on July 1, 2018.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on March 17, 1992.

Blazon : “Split by gold and blue; in front on a green mountain a stylized blue cowslip with a green stem and calyx; behind a golden, rising lion. "

The soaring golden lion indicates that the municipality of Singen has belonged to the Blackburg counts for many years. The mountain symbol and flower refer to the Singen mountain, which the municipality named. The mountain, which is located directly on the community, is considered to be a striking and at 583 m highest elevation of the Ilmplatte. The blue flower in the form of a cowslip results from the Singer local sagas. A blue flower appears here several times, mostly as the “key to the mountain”. The plant also refers to the most famous Singener, the botanist Schönheit , who lived in the place from 1826 to 1870.

The coat of arms was designed by the heraldists Frank Diemar and Frank Jung.

Culture and sights

Museum brewery

In addition to the Singener Berg as a hiking destination, Singen is known for the Schmitt brewery . In the family brewery, which is under monument protection , is brewed by hand once a week with inventory that is up to 100 years old. The output is just enough for the delivery of three restaurants (in Singen, Gräfinau-Angstedt and Stadtilm ) and direct sales from the brewery. The museum brewery is a technical monument and can be visited daily (in winter and in bad weather by appointment).

The baroque church of St. Nicolaus, built between 1742 and 1745, is also worth a visit.

A stone pillory from the late Middle Ages stands under old linden trees on the village green . At that time, public court hearings were held here.

There are four active associations in Singen that organize numerous events.

Economy and Transport

In the middle of the 16th century there were 38 farm owners in Singen. In addition to the agricultural work, the forest and the carriage trade offered employment opportunities. In addition, they had to do fixed labor and drive grain 38 days' work. After the secularization, the former monastery forest was managed by the Paulinzelle Abbey and then passed to the state. In 1619 the Singen forestry was established. They cultivated 641 hectares. The forest of Griesheim was added later , so that 789 hectares of forest were under Singen's care. In 1899 the Paulinzella II forest district was founded.

Singen is still an agricultural place. Other branches of industry are tourism on the Singener Berg and the brewery.

Singen has had a rail connection on the Arnstadt – Saalfeld line since 1895 . The Singen (Thür) stop is about 1.5 km northeast of the village. The regional trains of the Erfurter Bahn stop every hour and go to Erfurt and Saalfeld / Saale without changing trains.

There are roads to Dörnfeld an der Ilm , Rottenbach and Stadtilm .

Personalities

The grave of the botanist Friedrich Christian Heinrich Schönheit (1789–1870; author of the paperback of Flora Thuringia ), who came to Singen in 1826 as a pastor and died there in 1870, is located in the village cemetery .
