history

Springstille was mentioned for the first time in 948 under the name “Stillaha” and thus celebrated its 1050th anniversary in 1998. At the time of Emperor Otto I , the place and the neighboring Schwarza belonged to the Hersfeld Abbey . The place was the oldest settlement in Amt Hallenberg . Since 1274, parts of the place belonged to both the Hallenberg and Schmalkalden offices . The goods belonging to Schmalkalden are named in a land register of the Schmalkalden office in 1360 , which has been under a Henneberg-Hessian dual rule since that year and since 1583 belonged completely to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel.

In 1384 the place was renamed Stillerspringen . Between 1500 and 1806 there was still jumping silence in the Franconian Empire . In a document from Count von Henneberg , the place was mentioned in 1536 as a style jump . In 1545 the Reformation reached the place. In the Thirty Years War the population fell to 22 families.

Springstille was hit by witch hunts in 1659 . Margaretha Schmidt, widow, over 70 years old, was accused in a witch trial and acquitted.

The place came completely to the Amt Hallenberg in 1791. The railway line from Schmalkalden to Steinbach-Hallenberg was built in 1891. In 1902 the sports club "Jahn" was founded, and in 1921 the MGV "Liedertafel" . With the establishment of the LPG in 1959/1960 , Springstille became a fully cooperative village, followed by the founding of the village club and the carnival club in 1969. The Hasenhohle was expanded in 1971 as a cultural center. A transmitter mast was erected in 1981 on the 513  m high Rödelsberg in the east of the village.

On July 6, 2018, the Springstille community left the Haselgrund administrative community and was incorporated into the city of Schmalkalden.
