history
Prehistory and early history
The Tiefenort area in the Werra Valley and on the northern edge of the Rhön was developed as a settlement area early on, which has also been confirmed by excavations and excavations in the ground (cemetery near Leimbach, Wallburg Schlösschen ). During the construction of the Feldabahn in 1885, the first remains of urns with corpse fire were found, elsewhere also utensils and pots as well as stone setting. A dagger made of flint was lifted out of the ground at the droplet fountain.
First mention
Tiefenort was first mentioned in the spelling Dieffeshart (meaning: place located deep in a forest) in a Henneberg document dated September 13, 1137.
middle Ages
The castle complex of the Krayenburg , built on the striking Krayenberg , can only be viewed as a ruin today, originally belonged to the Hersfeld monastery and was inhabited and administered by a family of counts, the Lords of Frankenstein, who lived in the Werra Valley . The high quality of the wall structures at the Palasrest are remarkable . This castle was even mentioned in the history of the empire, as a place of asylum it was under special protection. According to legend, Margaretha von Staufen , who fled from the Wartburg in 1270 before her husband, the Thuringian Landgrave , stayed here for a few days in the fortress. The Krayenburg and the associated villages of the Krayenberg Office , to which Tiefenort also belonged, came to the Thuringian landgraves, who had meanwhile been provided by the Wettins and who already held secular power in their hands as patrons of the Hersfeld Monastery. At that time the castle had already become largely insignificant from a military point of view and was now pledged in quick succession. At that time, the Frauensee monastery, only 5 km away, had acquired great cultural significance. Up until the 14th century, numerous settlement areas had been established in the vicinity of the Cistercian nunnery, and at this time the draining of the moorland bordering to the east had begun, the farms and settlements of Hüttenhof, Oberrohn, Weissendiez, Dönges, Albertshof and others during this time as development settlements.
Early modern age
During the first quarter of the 16th century, the plight of the peasant population in the administrative area of the Krayenburg had also led to the participation in the Peasants' War of 1525. The Frauensee monastery and other places around Tiefenort were attacked and plundered by the farmers operating in the Werra Valley. At Easter 1525 they even moved outside the city gates of Salzungen without being able to penetrate the salt boiler town.
Modern times
After the Peasants' War, the Reformation led the Tiefenort population to convert to the Lutheran faith . At this time the last Count of Beichlingen had moved into his residence in Krayenburg; he died in Tiefenort in 1567.
The Thirty Years War brought severe devastation and indescribable suffering . In Tiefenort, the chronicle records a sharp decline in population as a result of war and plague, in 1648 only 68 families and 20 single widows lived in the village. The reconstruction of the place went hand in hand with the abandonment and gradual destruction of the Krayenburg, numerous buildings in the historic town center were built from the remains of the castle. Tiefenort remained a rural village until the end of the 19th century. In 1782 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited the place and also made a drawing of the castle ruins.
In 1879, based on the census of 1875, statistical information on the place, now part of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach , was published. Tiefenort had 253 houses with 1367 inhabitants that year. The size of the field was 1624.7 ha of which farms and gardens 19 ha, meadows 353.4 ha, arable land 806.4 ha. Forests 314.4 ha, ponds, streams and rivers 44.4 ha, on paths, drifts, wasteland and fruit plantations accounted for 87.05 hectares. The village had a herd of 63 horses, 600 cattle, 1807 sheep, 38 goats and 298 pigs.
present
Since around 2002 the site has been under special observation by the mining authority. Since a sinkhole that broke open on the outskirts (location) permanently threatens the safety of the residents living there, the further use of some residential buildings had to be prohibited in February 2010 for safety reasons.
On July 6, 2018, Tiefenort was incorporated into the city of Bad Salzungen.

Krayenburg
The Krayenburg was first mentioned in 1155 as the "castrum" of the Hersfeld monastery . The owners of the castle were the lords of Frankenstein , who held the castle as a fief and expanded it further. The castle complex was expanded into one of the most important Romanesque fortifications in the central Werra valley, as can be seen from the considerable remains of the fortifications.
Churches
The first church in Tiefenort , known as Peterskirche , is said to have been built in Gothic style around 1521. Before that, a chapel on or near the Krayenburg is said to have been used by the believers. During the Thirty Years' War the church was destroyed and a replacement building was quickly built on the same site. The church chronicle mentions further renovations in the interior for 1776 and reports on a last renovation in 1891.
