Sprötau is a municipality in the Sömmerda district in Thuringia . It belongs to the administrative community Gramme-Vippach , which has its administrative seat in the municipality of Schloßvippach .
geography
The Sprötau district is located on a stream called Klinge in a valley cut in a plateau, which is about 200 to 245 m above sea level. The blade rises in the Sprötau forest, then runs through the Sprötau valley eastwards and flows into the Scherkonde in Vogelsberg .
geology
The soil values of Sprötau are in the range from 58 to 86 (loam and black earth soils).
climate
The outermost western slope of the village is covered by a 42 hectare forest, which, with its predominantly sessile oak and hornbeam vegetation, has a high climatic influence on the local climate of the place. The annual mean temperature is around 8.5 ° C, and the average rainfall per year is around 500 mm. Since 2002, 8.2 hectares of mixed deciduous forest have been planted with "hardwood" species in the area of the former military property through afforestation.
history
The place was first mentioned in 1255. To the west of the place was the Langensteinsche Court from 1542 (document) until the 1840s , a field and complaint court for the surrounding villages. Sprötau belonged to the part of the " Vogtei Brembach ", which in 1664 came to the office of Großrudestedt . From 1672 this belonged to the Duchy of Saxony-Eisenach and from 1741 to the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . In 1701 today's Protestant church "Zum Heiligen Kreuz" was built.
During the Second World War , 22 women and men from Poland and Russia had to do forced labor in agriculture.
As a result of the grid action , the core maker Bruno Lehmgrübler (born in 1897) was arrested on August 22nd and sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp for a short time by the GeStaPo Weimar
From 1970/1974 to 1990 Sprötau was a military base of the National People's Army . The 51st anti-aircraft missile brigade and the radio technology battalion 511 were stationed west of the village. The barracks area and the area of the technical department together took up 100 hectares. The apartment blocks of the professional soldiers and civilian staff were adjacent. The “technical zone” of the unit was 3 km south of Sprötau on the Great Warthügel. After German reunification, until December 31, 1994, the Bundeswehr took over parts of the facility as a radar command department. Then the site was closed.
After the "Wende", the village church, the tower of which was already blocked by the building authorities, was extensively renovated. Sizable new residential buildings were built between the town center and the former residential buildings of the military property.
