history

The plateau between Saale and Ilm had been populated by arable farmers since the Neolithic Age. In the Stiebritz area of Obergehren , for example, there is evidence of a Bronze Age hilltop settlement.

The present-day town can be traced back to a Slavic settlement from the 9th to 10th centuries, which took place near the Heerweg , an old long-distance transport route . The settlement form of the Rundling , in which the courtyards are grouped radially around a central village square with a church and fountain, is still recognizable today. Stiebritz was first mentioned in a document in 1156. Adalbert von Lobeda, vassal of the Margrave of Nordmark , sold a forest near Stebrice to the Heusdorf monastery . The place name could either be traced back to the Slavic personal name Zdebor or the Slavic word for "column, tower".

As a former imperial fiefdom , the village fell under the Burgraviate of Kirchberg in the 12th century , and the Heusdorf monastery near Apolda also acquired extensive property. In 1358/59 the Kirchbergers sold Stiebritz to the Bürgel monastery , which was converted into a lordly office after the Reformation. The oldest tradition from court owners comes from the period 1421–1425. In 1544, the von Denstedt family acquired both the Heusdorf monastery and the shares of Stiebritz, which belonged to the Bürgel monastery, and thus united the ownership rights within the place. Stiebritz belonged to the Heusdorf office until 1818 and then moved to the Dornburg office . From 1879 to 1923 it was administered by the Apolda District Court and then belonged to the Stadtroda and Jena districts. In 1969 the community merged with Hainichen to form the community of Hainichen.

To the west of Stiebritz lies the Lichtendorf desert . The village was laid out in the High Middle Ages and was given up again in the 14th century. The village corridor remained closed until the 16th century and was then divided between Stiebritz, Nerkewitz and Kösnitz. The field name Lichtenanger still reminds of the location today.

Up until the beginning of the 1990s, almost all of the residents lived from agriculture. Small to medium-sized farms dominated the place (until collectivization in the 1950s). In addition, extensive viticulture was carried out on the slopes of the Nerkewitzer Grund until the 19th century . The replacement of the feudal taxes of 1852 and the consolidation of the land in 1873 led to an economic boom. Between 1957 and 1960, all businesses merged to form an agricultural production cooperative, which was converted into an agricultural cooperative in 1991.

During the Thirty Years War the number of households decreased to 8. Major fires in 1717 and 1935 destroyed 10 and 2 houses respectively. In 1745 and 1778/79, dysentery epidemics claimed more than 10 lives. On the occasion of the nearby Battle of Jena in 1806, reports were made of the billeting of Saxon horsemen and looting by the French. A total of 18 men in the village died in both world wars. After the end of the Second World War, numerous resettled families came to Stiebritz, some of whom still live here today.

In 1904 Stiebritz received a telegraph station, in 1910 the place was electrified and in 1973 it was connected to the Ohra drinking water pipeline. In 1958 a hall with a community center ("Kulturhaus") was built. Above all, the extensive village renovations from 1973 to 1976 and from 1995/96 led to the emergence of the present-day townscape. In 1981 and 2006 anniversaries were celebrated when Stiebritz was first mentioned.

Culture and sights

church

The church of Stiebritz probably goes back to a Romanesque building of the 12th or 13th century, which was extended by about half to the east in 1612. The church owes its current shape and interior with galleries and pulpit altar to the renovation work carried out between 1727 and 1733. Only the organ was built in 1858 by the Heerwagen organ building company . The wooden church tower with a double tail dome and open lantern was dismantled in 1977, but reconstructed in 2006. The roof of the nave also received a comprehensive renovation in 2008. The only church bell was cast around 1450. The oldest preserved church tower clockwork dates back to 1680. In terms of church, Stiebritz has been supplied by the parish of Utenbach and at times by the parish of Nerkewitz since the 13th century . It was not until 1529 that it changed to the parish of Hainichen (since 1977 parish of Nerkewitz).

Primary school "Talblick"

The school building with gymnasium, completed in 1975, was built as a POS and concentrated the school facilities in the Gönnatal catchment area in one building. After reunification it was converted into a state primary school.

Organizations and associations

The “Stiewartser Traditionsverein, Stiebritz e. V. “, founded in 2008, brings together many of the previous organizations in the village in one association. The association's work is divided into the interest groups oven festival, prehistory and early history, home and chronicle, dialect and tradition maintenance as well as youth work and volunteer fire brigade . The club name contains the place name, after the dialect "Stiewarts", with which the typical dialect of the region should come into its own.
