Stedten (Ilm) (former spelling also Stedten an der Ilm , former official municipality name Stedten / Ilmtal ) is a district of the city of Kranichfeld in the Weimarer Land district in the Middle Ilm Valley in Thuringia . Stedten has around 500 inhabitants, around 100 of them in Alt-Stedten and around 400 in Neu-Stedten .
geography
Stedten is located on the left bank of the Ilm on a slope that rises to Reinhardsberg ( Ilm-Saale-Platte ). The mean altitude is 330 m above sea level. NN (central bus stop). Stedten is the westernmost settlement in the Weimarer Land district .
Local division
Stedten is part of the city of Kranichfeld and officially-administratively not further subdivided. It is customary to differentiate between Alt-Stedten (the old village) and Neu-Stedten (the settlement that was created in 1992). Within Alt-Stedten , a distinction is made between the upper village and the lower village based on history (different rulership affiliations) .
history
In 1923 Stedten was incorporated into Barchfeld an der Ilm for the first time , but became independent again in 1924. On January 1, 1976, the municipality of Stedten / Ilmtal was once again incorporated into the municipality of Barchfeld ad Ilm , which in turn was incorporated into the town of Kranichfeld on April 9, 1994 .
Religions
In Stedten there is a small Evangelical Lutheran congregation at the St. Eckard Church , which belongs to the Kranichfeld parish .
economy
For centuries the place was characterized by agriculture and woad production, the Stedtener mill had a certain supra-local importance. In addition, basket-making (mainly in addition to agriculture) was carried out, the last basket-maker stopped working in the early 1990s. In the 20th century there was an increasing number of commuters (especially to Kranichfeld and Weimar ). There is a kindergarten and several mostly part-time tourism businesses (holiday apartments, restaurants).
traffic
Stedten has a quiet location away from the main road 87 . A road connects Stedten with Barchfeld and the B 87. The direct connection to Kranichfeld is closed to motor traffic and is part of the Ilmtal cycle path . There are bus connections to and from Barchfeld, Kranichfeld, Bad Berka and Blankenhain , which, however, are not daily due to the season (usually on school days).
Established businesses
There are no larger companies based in the village, but there are individual private farms (especially horses), smaller craft businesses (construction) and services (hairdresser, restaurant, holiday rental).
Public facilities
There is a kindergarten and a community center (for village community and private events).
Culture and sights
Buildings
The village church of St. Eckard, the restored Stedtener Mühle and some listed farms are well worth seeing. The Waidstein on the village green is evidence of the production of woad in the Middle Ages.
The small Protestant village church of St. Eckard is one of the oldest in the area. A surviving sacrament niche behind the altar shows that the church existed before the Reformation. The art guides state that it was built in the 15th century, but an even earlier first building in the settlement that has probably been in existence since the 12th century cannot be ruled out. The name St. Eckard also comes from Catholic times. With the introduction of the Reformation in Kranichfeld, Stedten became Protestant in 1529. Worth mentioning are the relatively well-preserved painting of the pulpit, the galleries and the wooden ceiling (so-called peasant baroque ), a Gothic Pieta (depicting Mary) restored in 2001 and the font with lily decoration from 1575.
societies
The village club Stedten / Ilm had existed since the 1970s and was renamed the Stedten / Ilm Fire Brigade Association in the 1990s . The association has been a non-profit organization since 2015 and takes care of the playground there on a voluntary basis and is responsible for organizing various events ( setting the maypole , forest festival, children's festival, etc.).
