location

Streufdorf is located in the Heldburger Land in a foothills landscape south of the Thuringian Forest and northeast of the Grabfeld . The state border with Bavaria is about two kilometers away. At the time of the division of Germany , Streufdorf was in the five-kilometer exclusion zone , which significantly hindered development. Streufdorf is on the state road 1134 in the direction of Hildburghausen . From 1888 to 1946 there was a rail connection to Hildburghausen and Lindenau via Heldburg.

history

Gaden (Kemenaten) of the fortified church with two-country museum

Streufdorf was first mentioned in a document on February 3, 799. A record of Struphe Castle provides information about the history .

The village of Streufdorf is one of the oldest settlements in the southern Thuringian region. This was the ancestral seat of the Knights of Streufdorf. Streufdorf was affected by the persecution of witches from 1614 to 1679 . 36 people were caught in witch trials , 15 of 23 women were executed and five of 13 men. One woman died in custody.

Like many other places near the inner-German border, Streufdorf was affected by the forced evacuation of families into the interior of the GDR in 1952 ( Action Vermin ) and 1961 ( Action Festigung ). A memorial stone in the village reminds of this. In 1952 there had been resistance against the resettlement in the village with barricades and road blocks. As a result, 18 families were evacuated instead of eight and sentenced to several years in prison. Dozens of residents fled to the west.

In 2012, 850 people lived in the district.

The St. Marien Church is a historic building. The two-country museum Rodachtal was opened on November 8, 2009 and shows the history of the region.
