geography
mountains
The landscape around Sondra is part of the Waltershausen foothills , the mountains and elevations are mostly made of red sandstone. From the side valleys of Meebachgrund and Tränksgrund, two source brooks enter the narrow valley as tributaries of the Emse . The highest point in the municipality is the Kambühl , it is a completely forested mountain, its height is 453.9 m above sea level. HN . The Polarskopf ( 432.9 m above sea level ) to the south-east is also completely forested. It marks a section of the border to the Gotha district (some boundary stones date from the 17th century). In the far south there is an enclave in the Gotha district with the Grübelsberg ( 443.7 m above sea level ). Most of the forests in the south of Sondra belonged to the forest ownership of the Wangenheimers , who were expropriated as large landowners after the Second World War .
Waters
The district is traversed from south to north by the second order Emse . The Sondra area has many springs and the water is particularly soft. A waterworks was built as a control room for the drinking water supply on the western edge of the town on the Emse . From here, the city of Eisenach and its districts, the municipality of Wutha-Farnroda , Seebach (Wartburgkreis) and the southern villages of Hörselberg-Hainich are supplied via long-distance lines. The majority of the district of Sondra is designated as a drinking water protection area because of the water extraction .
history
During excavations in the area of the Mittelburg, about 500 meters north of the field boundary of Sondra, an extensive settlement from the Roman Empire was archaeologically examined before the start of the work on relocating the motorway. The first finds were already recovered in the 1930s, the final large-scale investigation took place in 2002-04. In addition to the Kambühl, the Polarskopf also had a “mountain sanctuary” in pagan times, as a newspaper report from the 1920s referred to.
Sondra was mentioned as a place for the first time in 1143, the name "Sundera" indicates a settlement yard separated from Sättelstädt, only two kilometers away. From 1313 Sondra is owned by the Lords of Wangenheim , the village developed rapidly along the Emse and had the settlement structure of a Waldhufendorf village . In 1513 estates in the Sundere are mentioned. The defenseless village was plundered several times by troops passing through during the Thirty Years' War. According to local tradition, the residents saved themselves in the somewhat remote Häusertal on the eastern slope of the Kambühl. During an attack on troops riding through between Winterstein, Schwarzhausen and Schmerbach , there was a skirmish with many dead and missing. In the 1930s, heavily rusted remains of weapons and skeletal parts were discovered during forest work. The place belonged to the Winterstein court of the Wangenheimers until 1839 and was also parish and schooled after Winterstein. Not until 1920 was a separate school building inaugurated in Sondra, the village school had only one classroom, the school (elementary school) was only stopped in Sondra in 1984 and relocated to Sättelstädt (distance: about 1800 meters from the school there). It was connected to the power grid in 1925.
