history

The forest workers and miners' settlement originally called Lubenbach was first mentioned in a document in 1394, the spelling Taubenbach took place from 1552. In 1438 the Wettins sold this part of their territory to the Reichserbmarschalls von Pappenheim without giving up their feudal sovereignty. Their Graefenthal line ended with the death of Christoph Ulrich von Pappenheim on December 19, 1599. In 1621 they sold the estate back to the House of Wettin. The Graefenthal office first fell to the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg , after the division of the estate in 1680 to Saxony-Saalfeld . The administrative seat of the associated office Gräfenthal was at Castle Wespenstein .

In addition to agriculture and forestry, the production of wooden toys, glass and porcelain was important in the region in the 19th century. The Taubenbacher porcelain factory was founded in 1840 by the local entrepreneur Carl Moritz . At the end of the 19th century, the company was still specializing in the production of dolls' heads for Sonneberg doll manufacturers.

At the end of the 19th century the project for a railway line from Sonneberg to Probstzella was commissioned. The construction of the 14.6 km long northern track section from Probstzella to Taubenbach was started in November 1896 by the Royal Railway Directorate Erfurt of the Prussian State Railway . On October 15, 1898, the section to Taubenbach was put into operation, the subsequent 1.6 km to Bock-Wallendorf on January 18, 1899. Here, in addition to the porcelain industry, it was above all the iron ore mines, which were acquired by Maximilianhütte Unterwellenborn in 1888 Had transport needs by rail. Until the iron ore mine was closed in December 1972, around 8.5 million tons of chamosite ore had been transported on the route. This railway line was also called Max-und-Moritz-Bahn by locals because of the connection to the porcelain factory Carl Moritz in Taubenbach (1848 to 1939) and the ore mines of the Maxhütte Unterwellenborn in Schmiedefeld .

The incorporation to Schmiedefeld took place on July 1, 1950; the places have grown together since then. In the district, foam glass is produced by Deutsche Foamglas GmbH in a factory that was founded in the 1960s as VEB Schaumglas Taubenbach .

On January 1st, 2019 Taubenbach came to the city of Saalfeld / Saale as part of the incorporation of Schmiedefeld.
