geography
Spittelstein is about eight kilometers east of Coburg . The Krebsbach flows through the village . The state road St 2206 from Mittelberg to Fürth am Berg leads through Spittelstein.
history
The first documented mention of Spittelstein is in a letter from Bamberg Bishop Eberhard from 1162 after a border dispute between the Banz monastery and Hermann Graf von Wolveswach (Wohlsbach). “Engilhart de Stein” was also one of the witnesses invited. In the Urbarium , a listing of possessions of the Hennebergers when the New Rulership was acquired , the place was recorded in 1317 as "zu deme Steyn". Around the year 1340 it was mentioned as "Spitalstein". The settlement then belonged to the Coburg Spital. In 1353 the place came with the Coburg Land by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged.
In 1618, at the beginning of the Thirty Years War , ten men fit for military service lived in Spittelstein. By 1650 the number of crews had dropped to three. The level of 1618 was not reached again until 1684. The number of houses decreased from ten to three in the same period. Two thirds of the fields lay fallow in 1658.
In 1783, Spittelstein had 41 residents who lived in eleven houses. The place belonged to the court Neustadt and Pfarrsprengel Einberg .
On July 1, 1869, Theißenstein with 33 inhabitants was forcibly incorporated into Spittelstein with 77 inhabitants. In the 19th century, the Spittelstein students attended school in Einberg. On April 18, 1901, a school building was inaugurated for the newly founded Spittelstein- Blumenrod school association . In 1965 the community rejoined the Einberg School Association. The schoolhouse that was subsequently closed was sold in 1974.
In a referendum on November 30, 1919, five Spittelstein citizens voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 45 against. From July 1st, 1920, Spittelstein belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .
Between 1905 and 1911 the place got a telephone connection. The first supplier of electricity was the Coburg overland plant in 1922 . In May 1926 a war memorial was dedicated to the eight soldiers who died in the First World War . The memorial was originally erected by the Ganß family to commemorate the two fallen sons. It was later given to the community.
In 1962 Spittelstein won a fountain as part of the competition “The more beautiful village”, which the Kronach sculptor Heinrich Schreiber designed and created. The stone fountain from a neighboring sand pit depicts the fairy tale Das Waldhaus by the Brothers Grimm and was erected in 1963. To improve the water supply, the community founded the Spittelsteiner Group water association in 1962 with Blumenrod, Fechheim , Mittelwasungen and Aicha . A deep well was previously drilled in 1961. House connections were laid in 1965. In 1967, in addition to the founding members, the group also supplied the towns of Birkig , Boderndorf , Fechheim, Kemmaten , Neu- and Neershof , Oberwasungen, Unterwasungen and Wellmersdorf with drinking water.
On January 1, 1969, Spittelstein merged with the neighboring municipality of Blumenrod to form the new municipality of Steinrod, which was dissolved on January 1, 1977 and incorporated into the town of Rödental. Since then, Spittelstein has been a district of Rödental.
From 1994 to 1996 the housing association of the district of Coburg built a settlement with five two-storey rows of terraced houses and 44 residential units as part of the model project "Rental apartments in wood system construction".
