history

The first written mention of the village Thalebra goes back to the year 1080. Documented name forms are: Everha / Evera parva / Ebera / Ebra inferio (1080), Tal-Ebra (1402), Taeldra (1467), Talebra (1483) and Tallebra (1496) from which "Thalebra" emerged.

In 1075 King Heinrich IV led the campaign against the rebellious Thuringians and Saxons, later known as the Saxon War . The later emperor and his troops had set up a field camp at a place called "Spira", the warriors of the Saxons and Thuringians camped at "Everha".

Hessenweg

The "Hessenweg" is an old trade route that led from Kassel through the Eichsfeld to Erfurt . Even before the Thirty Years' War , this road was of strategic importance as an army route. The imperial war hordes of Wallenstein and their opponent Gustav Adolf plundered the villages and spread fear and terror. The Seven Years' War also left its gruesome marks in this area when the free battalion "von Wunsch" made quarters in Ebeleben . Today the Hessenweg is only an insignificant dirt road, between the villages of Thalebra and Bellstedt it forms the field boundary. In 1957, a 3,000 year old bronze depot was found in the “Rockstedter Berg” corridor, not far from Hessenweg. It consists of a sword, a so-called stake knife, two lance tips and a small ring. All the objects were broken into small pieces. These finds were restored in the Museum of Prehistory and Early History of Thuringia in Weimar.

Küllstedt desert

In the area of ​​Thalebra there was an abandoned village Küllstedt - about a hundred meters south of Thalebra is today's parcel "Küllstedter Grund".

Modern times

The place was not spared from these two wars either. In the German Peasants' War (1524 to 1526) the men around Thomas Müntzer are said to have destroyed the place. In the Thirty Years War (1618 to 1648) the Swedes passed through Thalebra after the Battle of Leipzig. In 1551 the terrible plague raged in the area. 840 people died in the city of Sondershausen alone.

Thalebra previously owned several smaller estates, some of which belonged to noble families and some to pious foundations, such as the monasteries of Nordhausen and Jechaburg . In 1676, Count Christian Wilhelm and Anthon Günther and Georg Christoph von Dachröden (Dacheröden) concluded a purchase contract for Freuyguth in Thalebra . The von Dacheröden family is a quaint Thuringian family with the headquarters " Dachrieden " not far from Mühlhausen in Thuringia. In 1801 the Thalebra estate came to Caroline Friederike von Dacheröden and after her death in 1829 to her husband Wilhelm von Humboldt . As long as Wilhelm and Caroline von Humboldt lived, they have been to Gut Thalebra several times. Until 1918 the place belonged to the rule of the principality Schwarzburg-Sondershausen .

The estate and, above all, the agricultural land were used as a domain until the end of the Second World War . The large mansion / manor house was used by the Red Army as a command post in 1945, then it had to be demolished on their orders. Only the courageous efforts of the mayor prevented the spacious grain store from being destroyed. The village was overcrowded with refugees from the eastern regions who urgently needed housing. The land, expropriated without compensation, was distributed to new farmers, poor farmers, smallholders and agricultural and industrial workers in the course of the land reform and later cultivated in an LPG after collectivization .

After reunification, the then mayor of the district, Karola Kirchner, recognized the historical importance of the property and sought contacts with the Humboldt Society in Göttingen. Since Caroline Friederike von Humboldt , b. von Dacheröden went down in German history through her great friendship with Goethe and Schiller and above all through her marriage to Wilhelm von Humboldt , the community in Thalebra put a memorial plaque in her honor, which is also a historical memory of the von Dacheröden family should. On November 10, 1998, this memorial plaque was placed in the entrance area of ​​the Thalebra cemetery.

Incorporations

In the state of Thuringia , after the political change in accordance with the Thuringian municipal code of August 16, 1993, the aim was to merge small communities into unitary communities or administrative communities. After the places Großberndten, Hohenebra, Immenrode, Kleinberndten, Schernberg, Straussberg and Thalebra had merged to form an administrative community, they formed a unified municipality on January 1, 1996. Thus, Thalebra was since January 1, 1996 a district of the community Schernberg. Since December 1st, 2007 the place belongs together with Schernberg to Sondershausen.
