Haßleben is a municipality in the Sömmerda district in Thuringia .
geography
Haßleben is located in the Thuringian Basin about 18 km north of the Thuringian state capital Erfurt . The narrow Gera (a branch of the "Erfurt" Gera ) flows through the town.
The area is dominated by the valley of the Unstrut and its tributaries. The fertile soils enable intensive agriculture on extensive fields. Areas with coniferous and mixed forest, floodplains, meadows, dry grass areas, smaller standing and flowing bodies of water and partly wooded hill country in the vicinity of the municipalities form an attractive, varied landscape.
North of the village, in the lowland of the Schmalen Gera, is the NSG Haßlebener Ried , a Kalkniedermoor and bird sanctuary.
Although not on this river, the Unstrut cycle path leads through Haßleben.
history
The word ending -leben indicates a place founded by Germanic fishing or warning from today's northern Germany. The first written mention of the place Haßleben dates from the years 780 to 802. During this term of office of an abbot there, Haßleben was given to the Fulda monastery according to the document book.
Centuries before, however, there must have been settlements in the area of the present location, which is evidenced by a burial ground discovered in 1912 , dating from the 3rd century AD. In a small cemetery with 23, partly richly furnished Germanic body graves, there was also the burial place of a young woman. Her grave furnishings with precious pieces of jewelry made of gold and silver, Roman glasses and metal vessels exceeded everything that was known until then. The find of Haßleben remained the richest Germanic princely grave in Germany for almost 100 years.
Hardrad († after 786 ), a Thuringian count , is said to have owned extensive property near Haßleben. He was the leader of a rebellion of Thuringian nobles against Charlemagne , which is seen as one of the reasons that moved the Emperor to recognize Thuringian popular law in 802/803 . ( See main article: → Hardrad)
In 874, at the imperial assembly in Ingelheim , King Ludwig the German allegedly confirmed the payment of tithe to the Fulda monastery in Hastingisleybin and 24 other places . In fact, this document is a forgery from the 11th century. The place Hastingisleybin undoubtedly means Haßleben, another spelling for Haßleben in old documents is Hastenisleiba or Hasteneleben . In 1249 it was donated to the Georgenthal monastery and in 1274 to the Pforta monastery . In 1306 Erfurt was given jurisdiction over Haßleben. Around 1300 there was a simple moated castle with a manor in the village that had existed for some time . In 1320 a Burgmann knight Dietrich the Younger, called Ryntfraz, is mentioned. In the further course of the 14th century goods and lands were transferred to the Marien and Ursuline monasteries in Erfurt .
The Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen , which first emerged as a county in 1160, played a special role in the further history of Haßleben . In the 14th century, a bailiwick of Haßleben was first mentioned, which belonged to the county. Haßleben was an exclave of the Schwarzburg special houses subordinate rule , which means that the area around Haßleben was surrounded by foreign areas, i.e. a state border had to be crossed when leaving Haßleben.
The “Sächsische Strasse” from Hamburg via Erfurt to Nuremberg had a branch from Alperstedt to Haßleben (Ausspanne) before it continued eastwards past Werningshausen over the Gramme . There is still an old guide stone in front of the bridge.
The foundation stone for today's St. Michael Church was laid in 1593, and it was completed in 1595. At the beginning of the 16th century, Haßleben already had 500 inhabitants who lived at 134 "fireplaces". It was amazing how quickly the community was able to recover from the suffering of the Thirty Years' War , when 47 inhabitants were left through death and flight.
Around 1700, Haßleben was protected by ditches and partially a wall. There was an entrance through an upper and a lower gate. It was a market town where market days were held three times a year on the pottery market and on Langen Gasse. In 1784 a major fire cremated 70 buildings, including the parsonage with its church registers, the written memory of the place. Haßleben was rebuilt - also with donations from neighboring communities.
The peat digging began around 1800, especially east of the village (in the "Pfuhl"). It was so productive that peat could be "exported", later to the salt works in Stotternheim . In 1821 a fossil "ox skeleton from the peat bog near Haßleben" was recovered, which was conveyed to the Phyletic Museum there by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in Jena .
In 1811 the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach received the place Haßleben, which incorporated it into the Großrudestedt office . Haßleben thus ended its existence as an exclave of the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. At that time it already had 1150 inhabitants. A devastating fire that broke out in 1822 destroyed a large part of the village with 188 buildings, 77 of which were residential houses. Again, aid and donations came from other Thuringian places. The major fire is also responsible for the fact that the wide streets typical of Haßleben in the Neue Anlage or Neustadt were built during the reconstruction , especially for reasons of fire safety. The project for the reconstruction was entrusted to the well-known senior construction director Clemens Wenzeslaus Coudray from Weimar.
In 1841 the community acquired the Princely Chamber Estate , which was then torn down. What remained are the two pillars that still adorn the entrance to the school built on this site in 1848. The school building was expanded around 1880. Then in 1933 and 1934 the school was enlarged again.
In 1912 the Germanic burial ground with the "princess grave of Haßleben" was discovered while mining gravel southeast of the town. In 1913, a memorial to the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig in 1813 was inaugurated with the participation of twelve military associations with a pageant and parade. Haßleben has been connected to bus traffic since 1927, and electrification took place in the early 1930s.
During the Second World War , 57 women and men from Poland , Russia , Yugoslavia and Italy had to do forced labor for farmers . A victim of forced labor was buried in the cemetery.
As a result of the grating action , Robert Lein (born 1897) was arrested on August 22nd and imprisoned in Buchenwald concentration camp . After a few weeks he was released in September 1944.
In February 1945 two bombs fell in Haßleben. On April 10, 1945 the US Army occupied the place after a short artillery bombardment and the subsequent hoisting of the white flag on the church tower. At the end of June / beginning of August 1945, the American was replaced by the Red Army . Belonging to the SBZ , from 1949 to the GDR , determined life in the village from now on. In 1955/56 the Soviet Army set up a military airfield one kilometer east of Haßleben, on both sides of the road to Alperstedt . This was approached by jet fighters as an "alternative airfield" until 1980 and was then occupied by helicopters.
The forced collectivization of the peasants with the formation of the LPG “Common Way” could only be implemented in 1960 after the deployment of an external agitator brigade.
From 1975 to 1985 repair work had to be carried out on the roof and inside the St. Michael church, the baroque tower dome was replaced by a flat emergency roof. From 1988 to 1992 it was connected to the central water supply with water from the Ohra dam .
In 1990 an agricultural cooperative replaced the LPG. From 1991 to 1995 all houses received a telephone connection and the streets were newly paved, in 1996/1997 the place was connected to the natural gas network. In 1992 the congregation inaugurated a memorial in the cemetery for their 96 fallen and missing from both world wars. The memorial from 1913 to the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig in front of the church has also been renovated.
In 1992 the Soviet Army closed its helicopter base and personnel and technology were removed. From 2002 onwards, the Thuringian State Development Company began demolishing the buildings, then removing contaminated soil over a large area via the Federal Property Office. Finally, a biotope with three ponds was left to nature (“ succession ”) as a “replacement measure for the Haßleben tank farm” for the construction of the nearby federal motorway 71 .
The state primary school in Haßleben was renamed Heinz Sielmann School in Haßleben on October 18, 2003 . The well-known nature filmmaker Heinz Sielmann traveled personally to present this award to his foundation.
The houses in Haßleben were renovated after the fall of the Wall , and a friendly townscape has emerged again. The nave has been renovated and re-roofed, the church tower has a baroque hood again. The school and other historic buildings in the town center are being renovated.
In 2002 Haßleben celebrated the 1200th anniversary of its first documentary mention. A memorial stone with bronze plaques on the central village square commemorates this.

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on June 6, 1994.
Blazon : “In blue an oblique left golden wave bar; above a growing golden lion, below a golden flaming sword, on the left side with three golden discs. "
The golden lion and the tinging of the coat of arms quote the motif of the Schwarzburg family coat of arms and are intended to symbolize in this way that Haßleben was for a long time an enclave of the Grafschaft Schwarzburg and later the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. The golden wave bar is a symbol of the Gera , which flows through and divides the place. The flaming sword is the attribute of the church patron Saint Michael and takes up the tradition of historical parish seals depicting the saint. The community is well known for important archaeological finds from the 3rd century, especially the prince's grave with gold and precious stone jewelry and gold coins; the golden discs symbolize the finds.
The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Frank Jung .
economy
A planned “ solar park ” with an extension of 66 hectares east of Haßleben on the former Soviet military site (owned by LEG Thuringia ) had not been implemented for a long time for nature conservation reasons (bird sanctuary). In July 2009 the local council of Haßleben approved the project, the approval of the district office was expected. The power plant should have a peak output of between 20 and 30 megawatts, making it one of the "largest climate protection projects in Thuringia". The NABU announced a lawsuit against the project. In 2013, the managing director of Ventimotor withdrew from the project, now another interested party wants to build a smaller variant under 10 megawatts.
Culture and sights
Evangelical Church of St. Michael
The church is a single nave, baroque hall church , it has a "retracted west tower". The nave and the four-storey tower were once plastered and whitewashed, now the nave is “stone-visible”. A dating inscription in the south wall refers to a construction date around 1593/95, Valten Vischer , Hans Riese and Hieronymus Hochheim were mentioned as builders . In the 18th century, the then dilapidated church was significantly redesigned in its appearance through baroque alterations. The renewed truss of the mansard roof and the interior of the church date from this time . There is also a mansion box , it is adorned with the initials of Duke Karl August von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach . The organ builder Schulze from Paulinzella delivered the organ on the upper western gallery in 1792 .
In the 1970s the church had to be secured with an emergency roof. The state of preservation of the tower was also worrying, deep cracks in the masonry indicated static structural damage. After extensive renovation, the renewed baroque church tower dome was put on in 2009. In summer 2009 a small baptismal bell was cast for the Haßleben church in Eisenach as part of the Luther Festival at a public exhibition. The bell, which weighs around 150 kg, will extend the existing ringing to four bells in the future.
Princess grave
The place is also remarkable for the archaeological site of the “princess grave of Haßleben” discovered in 1913 . The bones of a thirty to forty year old woman from the 4th century were buried in a 3 meter deep grave pit. Because of the extremely rich grave goods, this person is interpreted as a tribal princess. The entire complex of finds , which also includes a group of other burials (servants?) In the vicinity of the main grave, ended up in the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Thuringia . After completing the research, the “Haßleben culture” was included in the scientific nomenclature .
