Stockhausen is a district of Sondershausen in the Kyffhäuserkreis in Thuringia , which was incorporated as a formerly independent municipality in 1950. The former village was probably built at the beginning of the 11th century. A noble family named itself after the place.

history

middle Ages

The village of Stockhausen probably came into being at the beginning of the 11th century , was in 1043 in an imperial charter from Heinrich III. Mentioned for the first time in a document and in the 13th century it was a little further west of the so-called Borntal and consisted of only 14 families.

In the 15th century, the residents settled near two former outbuildings, and the core of this district of Sondershausen developed, where the St. Matthias Church is today. At that time the population had doubled and there were 27 houses. Up until that time, however, the place remained largely insignificant.

Günthersbad

The Heilbad Günthersbad zu Stockhausen between 1815 and 1842

In 1814 a sulfur spring was discovered and in the following year Prince Günther Friedrich Carl I von Schwarzburg-Sondershausen had a bathhouse built here and a music hall nearby. For a time the Günthersbad was visited a lot because it was thought to have healing powers. Since this was no longer the case later, the building was demolished again in 1843.

Potash mining around Sondershausen

At the end of the 19th century, the area around Sondershausen began to use potash deposits economically. So also in the corridor of Stockhausen. On May 1, 1893, the excavation work for shaft I (Brügmanschacht) officially began. As a result, the "Marienhall" residential colony was founded in 1896 in order to offer the workers of the nearby "Glückauf" potash works accommodation. The good income opportunities in potash mining attracted many foreigners, so the number of residents increased steadily.

Around the same time, the princely pheasantry extended to the Stockhausen bridge, where the Karl Günther recreation home was located and where there is now a retirement home.

In 1894, Carl Moeller came to Stockhausen as a pastor after the place broke away from the parish office of Jechaburg . Moeller initiated the construction of the rectory (1898), the large school building (1900), a deaconess station (1901) and in 1905 the new building for the dilapidated St. Matthias Church . Until 1918 the place belonged to the rule of the principality Schwarzburg-Sondershausen .

On July 1, 1950, Stockhausen was finally incorporated into Sondershausen.

St. Matthias Church

Main article: St. Matthias Church

The current building of St. Matthias Church dates back to 1905 and was commissioned by Pastor Carl Moeller , as the previous building, a small Romanesque church from 1442, was dilapidated and too small for the growing community. The architect Theodor Quentin (1851–1905) from Pirna designed this neo-Gothic building, but he did not live to see its completion. On July 23, 1905, the building was inaugurated on the day of the 25th anniversary of the reign of Prince Karl Günther von Schwarzburg-Sondershausen , and the prince himself attended the consecration service. The church is made from limestone and red sandstone from the region. The interior impresses with its relative simplicity. The painted groin vault , which consists of wire drawing and plaster , is supported by two massive pillars and the strong outer walls, which stand on a 70 cm thick concrete foundation. In the nave there are flower and leaf ornaments on the capitals and stalls . Opposite the wooden pulpit there is an angel figure with a Schwarzburg coat of arms to commemorate the prince's anniversary. In the chancel, three lead-glazed lancet windows with scenes from the New Testament provide sufficient light.

Memorial to the Fallen

In Stockhausen in 1926 a committee was formed under the chairmanship of Churches Karl Güldenapfel that a memorial for the World War I wanted to build the resort fallen. It was decided not to erect the memorial on church but on common land, in the former Stockhausen cemetery. The sculptor Georg Augner from Bebra was commissioned with the execution, which should not exceed the sum of 1,800 marks. The costs were borne by the local council and committee, which financed its share through various donation campaigns. Finally, on August 1, 1926, the memorial, made from local shell limestone and Rottleber writing plate, was inaugurated with the names of the 77 recorded war victims. At the opening ceremony, the participating clubs, such as the choral societies "Liedertafel" and "Lyra" and the workers' choral society should largely apolitical occur, so they marched without uniforms or arms and the crown loop should in the applicable national colors black, red and gold are executed . To the outrage of the left-wing, however, the conservative clubs appeared in uniform and with wreaths with black-white-red ribbons, the colors of the German Empire , which fell in 1918 .

Name interpretation

Documented name forms are also Stocghusen (1217) and Stoghusin (1471). Locals also like to refer to the place as Stoxen (Stocksen). Stockhausen appears several times as the name of localities, there are three in Thuringia alone: ​​near Eisenach , Sondershausen and Zeitz . In the case of this Stockhausen there are several possible interpretations. For one, a settlement could refer to a cleared area, because with a halt to once described in forestry the stumps of felled tree and the suffix "-hausen" could be due to accumulation of houses and / or indicate a farm or estate.

Another explanation would be the fact that once in this place a so-called story house , OHG. Stochus has found. This originally referred to a fortified building, a castle, in which there was a stick or sticks , the medieval tools of punishment and torture in which the prisoners were clamped with their feet and / or hands. Under the protection of this building, a closed settlement was created, which derives its name from the stock house. Finally, the ending " -hausen " indicates a Franconian settlement.
