history

Thalbürgel emerged from the founding of the Thalbürgel monastery in 1133. In the period that followed, the village around the monastery church in the middle was built. The neighboring town of Bürgel is a planned foundation in the 13th century, thus a little younger than Thalbürgel. The monastery church still defines the townscape and is one of the most important Romanesque churches in Thuringia. There is an interest store next to the monastery church , which houses a local history museum.

After the dissolution of the monastery in the course of the Reformation , Thalbürgel became the capital of the Ernestine Burgel office in 1526 . Due to several divisions, this belonged to different Ernestine duchies . From 1815 the place was part of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach , which in 1850 incorporated it into the Weimar II administrative district ( Apolda administrative district ). In 1920 the place came to the state of Thuringia.

On March 1, 1951, the previously independent community Gniebsdorf was incorporated.
