Stöckey is a district of the rural community Sonnenstein in the Thuringian district of Eichsfeld . It is one of the few villages in the Eichsfeld district that does not belong to the historic Eichsfeld .

geography

Stöckey is located on the edge of the southern Harz in the valley of the helmets , which rises near the village. Many tributaries of the Helme, such as Sete , Ichte , Die Buchte , Pinte , Lindai, Rinnebach and Ohe , also run through the Stöckey district. The soil in this region of the southern Harz shows a distinctive red color, which results from the bedrock ( shell limestone ). In the north you can see the Ravensberg . A large part of the total area is covered with forest, agricultural land and partly boggy area.

history

middle Ages

When it came into being, the village of Stöckey refers to a village called 'Helmeried', which was located on the Helmespring. That village settled in the 10th and 11th centuries between the Ohm Mountains and the southern edge of the Harz . In order to make the village arable, clearing measures were used, as indicated by the suffix -ried, but also -rode in other villages in the area. In the area around the Helmeried there was a lot of undergrowth that had to be cleared, which is how the resulting village of Stöckey got its name. It is derived from the word Gestöck . Stöckey itself was only mentioned as a place in 1287, the demarcation of the manor already created earlier. In the surrounding forests on the mark, a high occurrence of beeches and acorns offered the residents the chance to establish a pig fattening.

At some point Helmeried was no longer able to live autonomously due to the withdrawal into Stöckey upstream and thus became a desert . The small number of inhabitants was easy prey for swarming robber barons and epidemics were also subject to spread faster there. Water shortages never counted as a reason, as both the helmets and Ichte, Sete and Ohe were no more than a kilometer away. The numerous springs provided pure water with supposed miraculous powers. According to the vernacular, a high lady from Nordhusena ( Nordhausen ) had the helmet water delivered and recovered from it. She then bequeathed 4 thalers to the manor as a thank you, so the Helmespring was probably the property of the manor. Hundreds of hedges were planted on the bank of Helme for flood protection.

The region was divided into counties as early as the 12th century. Only then did the county of Klettenberg obtain feudal rights to Stöckey. During this rule, Stöckey came to Wilhelm von Mainz as an inheritance from his father, Emperor Otto I. Then again to the Klettenberger. When they died out, the Counts of Hohenstein (later Hohenstein-Klettenberg-Lohra) got the place. Interest was charged by the Walkenried monastery to the Fulda monastery for the village.

Hagen era

Stöckey owned a manor, which included a lot of land, which was managed by the serfs of the village. In addition, the feudal lords had to do compulsory and military service. Life was marked by hardships and worries. This was what the Countess vom Hagen, who was married to one from Bodenhausen, wanted to loosen up. The barons from Hagen resided on the estate from the 16th to the 19th century. After the countess was widowed, she came back to the parents' farm. During their 34-year lifetime, the village was home to poets such as Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock , Gotthold Ephraim Lessing , Leopold Friedrich Günther von Goeckingk and Christoph August Tiedge , but also nobles from Nordhausen and Bleicherode , Sangerhausen and Osterode / Harz, as well as the influential rulers of the Werther family . Military and political greats of this time could also be found here through her father Ludwig Philipp von Hagen , as this war and domain chamber director was Ellrich and minister under Friedrich II . Inspirational citizens of Berlin also came here, as the countess's grandfather, Friedrich Philipp von Hagen, promoted politics, art and architecture in Berlin.

At the time of the Peasant War in Central Germany, when Thomas Müntzer called for resistance, the oppressed peasants also followed the call. Then the Count of Hohenstein-Klettenberg submitted to the movement to appear. They wanted to have the castle and property in safe care. Thus the Stöckeyer found a like-minded person in Klettenberg and other farmers from the Helmetal joined the revolt. They stormed the Walkenried monastery and from there they moved to the Flarichsmühle . There one learned of the defeat of the peasant armies at Frankenhausen and of the executions of Thomas Müntzer and Heinrich Pfeiffer . Forsaken by hope, they returned to their villages. In the harvest year 1525, Count Heinrich von Hohenstein-Klettenberg ordered that all farmers under his control should meet at the Schiedunger dike on a certain day . One should defend oneself with a white stick and be dressed in white shirts. The further order was that every nobleman of his county should impale 9 peasants without refusing and drown the rest of the rut. Then said Balthasar of Sundhausen : "If this be put to death, who is going to do the services, who will order the lands because think of the many widows and orphans, who should they feed I reckon it gives them life? and fined them. " So it happened, nevertheless some farmers' leaders were executed and the resulting compulsory labor, taxes and property obligations depressed the farmers for several hundred years. During the Thirty Years 'War , imperial and Swedish soldiers occupied villages, towns and castles and stole cattle and property, plundered and devastated the lands and extorted the peasants' taxes. After their departure, only 24 houses were still habitable.

Economic reorientation

One has always been dependent on agricultural income. Very few farmers were able to acquire wealth and live more carefree. Most of the land belonged to the manor, a few large farmers and medium-sized farms. The remainder provided only a few acres of poor land for any other farmer. They were despised as goat farmers because they could hardly afford cattle. The little land was mostly done by women and children, the fathers worked on the estate in order to earn any money. In order to be able to make a living at all, there was a loom in every Stöckeyer household. There fabrics were woven for self-sufficiency. The resulting surplus is transported to Bleicherode or Ellrich with two-wheel carts and sold there. The little fee that was incurred is not worth mentioning. This craft for self-sufficiency was pursued until the 20th century. Many farmers also hired as lumberjacks. The fates of the children were predetermined. Many boys had to follow their father far away at the age of 13. The construction on the Ruhr and Rhine guaranteed good income. There it hired numerous Stöckeyer who were employed as handlers there. So it was made possible for some sons to escape the peasant class and become bricklayers or carpenters. Year after year they moved to Westphalia from March to November . The relatives who were left behind looked after the fields and the farm, and thus got through life right or wrong. But the industrialists also brought revolutionary ideas with them to Stöckey. After the November Revolution of 1918, a peasants', workers' and soldiers' council was founded in Stöckey, largely driven by Theodor Becke, Richard Deike, Friedrich Höche and Ferdinand Reinhardt.

The construction of the Nordhausen-Bleicherode-Herzberg railway was a transport-related highlight for the place. The connection to the power grid for everyone in 1914 brought about a clear improvement. More boys managed to learn a trade in the 1920s and 1930s. They became wheelwright , bakers, joiners, shoemakers, saddlers, blacksmiths and others. With this, some managed to become independent, and craft businesses arose in the area, some of which still exist today. They were family businesses that usually did not allow more than two external employees. Retail and gastronomy also found increasing interest in Stöckey. There were times when Stöckey owned three or even four restaurants. The Henkel restaurant still exists today and was founded in 1836. Craft businesses became sales outlets. Frieda Fuchs' grocery store was once a bakery (since 1909), the Wächter butcher shop, founded in 1824, became a meat sales point and the tailor Anna Lips-Echtermeyer opened a haberdashery shop. After her husband's death, the widow Lina Holzapfel was looking for a way to feed her three children and, after registering, opened a general store in 1907. The establishment of a dairy in 1902 brought other jobs with it. It was then placed under Klettenberg at the beginning of 1940 and shut down completely in the summer. In the past, products (e.g. butter, cheese, eggs, poultry, sausage and meat products) were also sold in the cities through outpatient trade.

National Socialism

Under the Nazi dictatorship, Stöckey was modernized in its approach, but the bottom line did not change much. Because Hitler's tensions with the rest of Europe were in the air. The nearby Dora was stocked with new prisoners every day, and this was not hidden from the Stöckeyers either. The Nazi rule culminated in World War II in 1939 and, as in the First World War, dozens of young men had to go to war again. The end did not come until April 1945 after nearly six years of war. 42 residents of Stocksy had fallen, many were taken prisoner and perished there. In Stöckey only the farm buildings were affected and no personal losses or other damage were recorded.

The community belonged to the Prussian district Grafschaft Hohenstein until 1945 .

Post-war and GDR times

From 1945 to 1949 the place belonged to the Soviet zone of occupation ( SBZ ). After the union of the KPD and SPD to form the SED in April 1946, the SED also found supporters in Stöckey. Political life was actively organized in Stöckey. The comrades of the SED and LDPD , but also the Association of Mutual Peasant Aid and the local trade unions , as well as the local branch of the FDJ and the anti-fascist women's committee, contributed to subordinating themselves to the SED's claim to leadership.

In the first years after the war there were still a few difficulties to be resolved in the village. The focus here was on supplying the population with food and living space. The manor house on the former manor was expanded into a school, as the previous school was no longer sufficient. Apartments came into them. The refugees and former prisoners were divided among the larger homesteads for housing.

Division of Germany

After the division of Germany , the GDR was proclaimed in Berlin on October 7, 1949 . The improvement in living conditions began in the 1950s. The first street was paved, a morgue was built and all street lighting was repaired. The first major community work was the conversion of the former dairy into a school building. In the 1960s, the hose tower was built and the old fire station was expanded. A sports room was set up in the new school, the former dairy, and thus created an essential value for the citizens' leisure time activities.

The general education ten-grade school lessons had to be stopped in 1974. From then on, the students went to the POS in the neighboring village of Weißenborn . In the dairy came after the IX. Party congress the administrative office of the LPG . In order to set up a canteen for the LPG kitchen, the premises were converted accordingly and the fire station was relocated to its current location in Hauptstrasse. The extension and expansion of the village's own kindergarten also took place in the 1960s. He came to today's parish, and the nurses 'station and the citizens' room were also set up there.

Due to favorable factors, a comprehensive building program 1968/1969 was tackled, which fundamentally changed the village image. During this time 1,850 m of sewerage were laid and 12,700 m² of street area was renewed.

Land reform

The expropriation of the manor in Stöckey was followed by the establishment of 7 new farms and 32 smallholders were given land and forest. In 1949 machine lending stations ( MAS ) were created.

In March 1958, several individual farmers founded LPG Type I "Helmespring" with an agricultural area of ​​27 hectares in Stöckey . As a result of the positive development, several individual farmers joined again in March. In order to intensify the use of technology and to increase the yield, contiguous fields were built as quickly as possible from the striking pieces (¼ to 1 ha) of the former smallholder structures. The image of agriculture was therefore often subject to a change in the external image of the economic structure of use. The uniform use of technology became increasingly necessary. Therefore, the machine park stationed at MTS Großbodungen in Stöckey was transferred to LPG in 1962.

Since the LPG held the status of Type I and after this process, the farmers could keep their livestock individually depending on their land input. Great differences became apparent. Therefore, the general meeting decided to organize the establishment of a cooperative cattle breeding and thus to interest the farmers in the service they provided in the LPG. Cattle breeding was pursued in stables or the larger barns of the former large farmers. In 1963 the construction of the stables began. By building more stables, Stöckey's entire livestock could be kept together as a cooperative and the move to LPG Type III was made in 1970. Nevertheless, the individual farmers were free to keep individual stock individuals privately.

Increasingly, scientific findings found their way into business management. Qualifications for cooperative farmers became the basis for higher performance. Comprehensive improvement measures changed the appearance of the fields on the one hand, but contributed to a higher yield on the other. New, larger and more and more modern machines and more powerful tractors, as well as wider combine harvesters and harvesting combines that replaced heavy manual labor, rolled across the fields from then on. This made the development of larger production units in specialized areas an urgent necessity. By deepening the cooperative relationships, the production cooperatives Neue Zeit Steinrode , Helmespring Stöckey , and Ernst Thälmann Steinrode decided in 1971 to merge to form the LPG "Ernst Thälmann" Steinrode-Stöckey . With a land bundle of 1,540 hectares and a herd of 1,500 cattle, 2,000 pigs and 500 sheep, a production cooperative was set up that met the existing requirements.

By the agricultural policy of the SED cooperation to a new level has been asked and introduced the work-sharing process. In 1973 the general assembly decided to use this process in plant production and to entrust the cooperative cadre with the management of the usable area. From the cooperative plant production department arose on the IX. SED Stöckey party congress became a legally independent LPG, which was now subject to 4,870 hectares. In addition to the state revenue from grain, potato and vegetable production, LPG plant production also ensured the food supply for 3,000 cattle (1,500 of them cows ), 3,000 pigs and 2,000 sheep.

Modern technology and facilities, such as potato warehouses and processing plants, became an expression of the industrialized agricultural production. The first use of an agricultural aircraft was carried out on April 9, 1974 in Stöckey. The systematic increase in yields in all crops has been achieved. With its members and employees, plant production secured a gross product of over 20 million marks and had a basic stock of 21 million marks.

The LPG Tierproduktion Stöckey paid attention to the development of milk production and young cattle rearing. With a milk yield of 4,250 kg per animal, it played a significant role in supplying the population.

The animal and plant production in Stöckey contributed significantly to the agricultural development of production. But they also provided material and financial support to change the village and improve the living conditions of its residents. Testimony for this statement were the canalization and the central water supply of the village, but also the expansion and construction of the road network to a more effective extent than originally planned. The superstructures of the village bakery, the gastronomy and the retail trade for daily needs should also be seen as testimony to their work. But the successful relocations of the day care center should also be seen as a social initiative of support.

After the turn

From 1961 until the fall of the Wall and reunification in 1989/1990, Stöckey was severely affected by the closure of the nearby inner-German border. That changed on the night of November 9, 1989. Günter Schabowski declared the border open. Since 1990 the place belongs again to the established state of Thuringia. On December 1, 2011, the community of Stöckey merged with the seven other communities of the Eichsfeld-Südharz administrative community to form the rural community " Sonnenstein ".

The education system in Stöckey

The existence of a school can be traced back to the 16th century, as a school chronicle was kept as early as 1602. Parents were encouraged to send their children between the ages of 5 and 12 to class and to pay school fees of 3 pfennigs a week. In addition, it was advisable to always bring a piece of firewood with you on Saturday. Since the financial outlay was great, parents took turns sending their children to class, sometimes not at all. In the 18th century Christiane vom Hagen bequeathed a few thalers to the school from the proceeds of her large volume of poems . A cash grant of 1½ pfennigs was given out of the interest on this capital for each school child.

The students were taught basic arithmetic, writing and reading, but the main focus was on religious instruction and the singing of hymns. The pastor was in control of the school . However, the estate family also has a large say, as they had committed to pay for any repairs, but did not always meet this obligation.

School lessons took place in 1602 in the premises next to the church. In 1798 the old and dilapidated condition of the property is documented in the chronicle, but it was not until 1838 that the construction of a new classroom with an adjoining teacher's apartment began. The number of pupils fluctuated between 120 and 160 children over the years. All were taught by only one teacher until December 1, 1895. When this changed there was still a problem because there was only one classroom. One teacher taught the older ones in the mornings, the other teacher the younger ones in the afternoons. A division of the room was contested and implemented in 1906. As a result, a two-class school was created in Stöckey. In 1911, the classes had to be divided into thirds, as the number of students was now too large for the two teachers and the space was already exhausted.

In 1941 compulsory schooling was introduced for ages 6 to 14. School life was disrupted by the Second World War , but regular school lessons began again in Stöckey on October 1, 1945 with the order of the Soviet military administration . Nazi-charged teachers were dismissed with immediate effect, and new teachers found their way into Stöckey. Despite the lack of school books and writing paper, classes were immediately resumed with large numbers of students. With the arrival of three teachers in 1956, the personnel requirements for continuous and effective teaching were given. The spatial conditions left a lot to be desired. Although the manor house had served the school system since April 1948, it gradually became apparent that the building would no longer be able to withstand school operations for a long time. For example, voices were repeatedly loud in parents' meetings and advisory board meetings and a new school building was challenged. The proposal by Mayor Gottfried Echtermeyer and Director Herbert Dienus to convert the former dairy into a school for this project was approved after exams. Construction began in the spring of 1957 and half of the costs were met in NAW hours by the citizens of the community themselves. Almost all of the residents of Stöckey contributed to the success through donations of money and material, by providing teams and tractors and also through work. The National Front badges of honor were awarded to those involved. The resulting building comprised three bright classrooms, a pioneer room and an apartment for teachers and caretakers. The sanitary facilities were housed in an adjoining room. On September 2, 1957, classes began here and the class division was retained.

Even before the renovation, plans for the centralization of school lessons had been taken up, which were then implemented by the state: From September 1, 1959, the pupils in the 5th to 8th school year visited the POS in Weißenborn. Here they had the opportunity, as before, to complete the 9th and 10th grades. From 1986 there were no more multi-level lessons in Stöckey, because now the children of the 3rd and 4th school year also went to Weißenborn. Since 1971 the school building in Stöckey has been used for the 3rd grade of the POS Weißenborn: While all other classes drove to Weißenborn, all 3rd grade students from the entire school area of ​​the POS came to Stöckey. After new classrooms had been created in the Weißenborn-Lüderode POS through expansion and renovation, the school in Stöckey was closed in 1974. Four teachers and two teachers came to Weißenborn. Today all students in grades 1 to 10 go to Weißenborn and can take part in the school meals and drinking milk distribution. The pupils were able to enjoy all the advantages of the general polytechnic high school, such as all-day care, being equipped with modern teaching and learning materials, lessons in specialist cabinets and participation in diverse working groups . After the reunification, the POS in Weißenborn was restructured according to the plan into a primary school and a secondary school, a regular school. After a good decade, the regular school was relocated to Bischofferode , provided that the primary school there was merged with the one in neighboring Großbodungen .

coat of arms

Stöckey has a linden bush in the coat of arms . This gives the place name in a talking way, with Stöckey deriving its name from Gestöck . This refers to the emergence of a place through clearing of areas overgrown with a particularly large amount of undergrowth. The linden bush symbolizes the local tree population. By the red-white geschachte field the long-standing territorial affiliation to be county Hohenstein symbolizes. The wave bar indicates the Helmequelle, which is in the immediate vicinity of the village.

Blazon : "Shield with a curved tip, in front of red and silver 14-fold, behind in red a sloping silver wavy bar, in the tip in gold a growing red linden bush."

The Stöckey flag is issued in the color sequence red-white (1: 1). Stöckey's coat of arms lies on it.

mayor

The first election of the municipal council after the Second World War took place on September 8, 1946. The last honorary mayor before the incorporation, Heinz Jödicke, was re-elected for the last time on June 6, 2010. This marked his third term in office. Kerstin Sommerfeld has been the town mayor since 2014.

church

The construction process

The Stöckey church was built in the Hagen era. It is the ultimate result of the poor expansion of a chapel into a church. That church was in disrepair. Because of this, 'Friedrich Philipp Freiherr vom Hagen took care of them . The construction plan stipulated that the church should be rebuilt on its foundation wall and reconstructed again to give it a better shape. The result was a massive nave with a half-timbered bell tower and a side aisle in the pure half-timbered style . This aisle was dismantled in the later middle of the 20th century, as no lord of the manor would move into the manor and that property was seen as in danger of collapsing. As a result of the construction work, the framework was slated and the entire structure was re-shingled.

The inner

Inside the church is decorated in baroque style. A high altar dominates the room. It contains a cycle of images and integrates a confessional on the side and a high pulpit in the head of the altar. A cloister leads under the altar body. A very old solid stone altar is located in front of the altar front. On the left you can see a tombstone of the builder of the church. Behind this, his bones are supposed to be walled up, but it is very questionable. In the chancel there is also a wooden ambo, which is decorated with portraits of the evangelists . The ambo and altar with a burgundy painted and by wiping technique verschliert with white. The rear area of ​​the nave is built on with a high man's chair. Above is a baroque organ, which is no longer playable.

Church name

The church relied on a chapel that had been converted into a church and was named St. Gallus . After the expansion to today's church, the name fell in favor of the von Hagen . They used the name Sankt Marien as long as they were regents here. They were Catholics and a Protestant community was subordinate to them, hence the emphasis on the duration of the naming. After their departure around 1871, they referred to the documented clause . From then on, the old name was allowed to be used again, but never occurred and therefore the established name was retained.

The bells

The church in Stöckey once housed two bells. It was a large main bell and an external bell . In 1924, the then newly arrived landowner Gustav Holland donated another bell for the church.

Two of the bells disappeared overnight during World War II. One of them was melted down for arms production . The other was found in Hamburg at the port and brought back to Stöckey.

The cemetery

A cemetery once framed the Marienkirche, which was generally used sparingly. However, in 1834 there was still a lack of space. As a result, the cemetery was relocated in the same year. Pastor Friedrich Theodor Karl Abel inaugurated it on Eternity Sunday in its current location.

In 1876 the upper part of the cemetery was enlarged under Pastor Friedrich Wilhelm Hermann .

In 1952, today's morgue was inaugurated under Pastor Friedrich Eduard Ernst Grollmus.

Protestant church

Nickname

The inhabitants of Stöckey are also commonly referred to as Stengelsocken (Steng'lsocken). That nickname also gave the village's own carnival club its name. According to tradition, the nickname comes from the time the village was founded. Back then, the inhabitants of early Stöckey wore long, thick woolly stockings - also evident as knee-high slippers. Those protected from waterlogging in the swampy areas of the district. The overall picture was probably so bizarre that the residents of this region named them after their obscure trousers, which they let dry on long wooden poles.

Lost cultural sites and landmarks

Stöckey station

In 1905 and 1909, the Prussian government approved the construction of a railway line between Bleicherode and Herzberg . The location of the Kleinbodungen, Neubleicherode and Weidmannshall (Bischofferode) potash plants was important. The entire route was ceremoniously handed over to the Stöckey community on October 31, 1911. When the border was drawn after 1945, the line between Bischofferode and Zwinge , including the Stöckey station, lost its importance. Rail traffic was finally stopped in 1972, the station building demolished and the line dismantled.

Gutshof zu Stöckey

A castle or fortified courtyard has existed since the 11th century and goes hand in hand with the mention of the Stöckey district in a document. That mention before 1287 is proven to be the actual first mention of the place. The early construction of a low castle was probably already surrounded by a moat, the pint led directly past the site before it flows into the helmets. The castle was commissioned by the Counts of Klettenberg and the Walkenried monastery . By assigning territory it was subordinate to the Counts of Hohenstein , who later became lords of Hohenstein-Klettenberg-Lohra. For many centuries the lords of Mützschefahl from the Untereichsfeld were the owners, during this time the building was converted into a manor, the mansion was built as a two-story half-timbered building, the farm buildings were grouped around an inner courtyard. It then went to the Lords of Bodenhausen , who then gave it to the Lords of Hagen , who briefly lent it back through a marriage. After the departure of the gentlemen from Hagen in 1880, the gentlemen from Minningerode came to the estate. The moats around the estate were still in place at the end of the 19th century.

In 1919 an Ilmenau factory owner named Glaser bought the estate as his property. However, he leased it to the König brothers. In 1924 it was sold to Gustav Holland. He lived there under the Soviets until the expropriation in 1945 . They tried to save everything that could be done overnight and to bring the entire family to safety. The following night, the estate was expropriated along with forest and land.

The school moved into the empty building by 1955. The servants' house and stables were later razed to the ground. Some families still lived together in the former manor house. The mansion had to give way and new farmers moved into the country. As early as 1948, Johannes Grundmann built the first part of his house on the site.

dairy

On September 9, 1901, the opening of a dairy cooperative was announced in the Worbiser Kreisblatt. That served its purpose for decades and became the new school building from 1955.

Water tower

A tall water tower once adorned the silhouette of this small village. This supplied the village with fresh, lime-free water. It was dismantled near the turning point; Since then, the village has been supplied with calcium-rich drinking water from the neighboring town more than six kilometers away.

traffic

The L2060 road runs through the village, the section of which between Weißenborn and Stöckey has been in a catastrophic condition for decades and was once an important connecting route. It could still have this status today if measures were granted.
