geology

The Schleizer Oberland with the district of Ullersreuth is located in the southeast Thuringian slate mountains . These soils are rich in humus and have a high proportion of fine soil. The climate and the properties mentioned are the prerequisites for high yields and yield security. Agriculture predominates on the plateaus and undulating areas . Spring troughs and valleys with streams are mostly grassland locations. The remaining parts of the district are covered with forest.

history

The first documentary mention of the village Ullersreuth was on April 13, 1327 in a document of the Bohemian King John of Luxembourg and Bohemia , issued in Prague. This document has been handed down as a regest and a copy. Petzold Sack von Sparnberg submitted to the Bohemian king and offered him his fiefdom, namely the Sparnberg Castle ("castrum Sparenbergk"), the population of Sparenberg ("Gens Sparenbergiorvm") and the two villages of Ullersreuth and Blintendorf ("dua villas Vlrichsreut & Plintendorff ”) and took it back as a fiefdom from the Bohemian king.

Ullersreuth is referred to in this document as free from the empire or as having fallen away from the rich . The father of John of Bohemia was Emperor Henry VII. In the 1320s, Johann also subjugated areas of the Vogtland to the Bohemian Crown under the pretext that the rightful owner was his father, Emperor Henry VII, and all of this was from the Reich fallen good. Among them were z. B. Sparnberg, Hirschberg and Plauen . Johann did not make the area an imperial fief again, but a Bohemian crown fief. This made the village of Ullersreuth a Bohemian crown fief for the following centuries .

A ledge above the Saale has always been called "the high stone". This designation indicates a former permanent house . At the time of the German settlement, the square could have been built on with a castle-like building.

The corridor of the village of Ullersreuth was at the latest from the end of the 13th century until the end of the 14th century in the feudal association with Sparnberg Castle , which at that time also included Tiefengrün (Thymengrune), Langgrün , at that time the upper green ("villa superior green") . The villages of Göttengrün, Künsdorf and Göritz were probably also part of it, as the Sparnbergers were very wealthy there. The actual foundation of the town is likely to be between 1302 and 1317. The local founder and namesake was apparently the follower of the bailiff of Plauen , knight Ulrich I. Sack von Planschwitz , owner of the castle and village of Sparnberg and the Ullersreuth corridor.

From the middle of the 12th century, the corridor of what would later become the village of Ullersreuth was part of the domain of the bailiffs of Weida . In 1247 Heinrich the Illustrious von Meissen appropriated the area. Then they incorporated the bailiffs of Plauen back into their domain. Heinrich I. Vogt von Plauen sold his shares in Sparnberg Castle and the town of Münchberg with accessories to the knight Ulrich I. Sack on January 7, 1298 . In 1302 he acquired the entire dominion of Sparnberg, which also included the Ullersreuth corridor, as well as deep green and green (long green) from Heinrich Vogt von Gera. Knight Ulrich I. Sack had five sons, one of whom was called Ulrich II, as the name Ulrich was passed on in the Sack family in every generation. Ulrich I. Sack died around 1317 in Türbel at his retirement home. From the first document until the 18th century, the place name "Ulrichsreuth" was handed down, meaning Ulrich's clearing. After Ulrich's death, his brother Petzold Sack (the second youngest) inherited the Sparnberg fiefdom on Planschwitz . The sons of Petzold Sack von Sparnberg called themselves from then on "von Sparnberg".

At the end of the 14th century, Ullersreuth was detached from the feudal association with Sparnberg and connected to Hirschberg Castle . In 1392 Ullersreuth was first mentioned as a property of the Hirschberger Burgmannen von Zedtwitz and has remained connected to the castle and the town of Hirschberg ever since. This document is dated October 30, 1392 and contains the following content: “Peter von Czedewicz sells a farm to Vlrichsrewt den liben frawen u. their house of God czum Gefelle . Seal G. 1392 on the nests with weeks before all holy days. "

At the end of the 14th century, Ullersreuth went to the Hirschberg Castle and the von Zedtwitz noble family , later to the von Beulwitz family and then to the younger Reuss family ; it remained there until the end of the monarchy in 1918.

At the time of the division of Germany, the village of Ullersreuth was in a restricted area and could only be reached with a special permit. All family ties to Upper Franconia broke off, and the properties on the other side of the Saale were no longer accessible. After the opening of the border, there were frequent traffic jams in the village due to the large number of people leaving.

church

In 1647, the Reussian division files said: “Ullersreuth has only one chapel, in which preaching is only used for church fairs and copulations”. If the tradition is correct, that in the past monastery clergy from Hof ​​preached here, then the place must have had a chapel and Jacobus as its patron saint as early as the Catholic days .

In 1529, one year after the introduction of the Reformation , a new church was built in Ullersreuth. In an old parish register from 1617 it says: “The little church is so dilapidated that it has to be improved”. The fact that the church was already in disrepair after 88 years suggests that it was still a wooden structure at that time. During the Thirty Years' War 1618–1648, acts of war and the plague also devastated Ullersreuth. The church, which had already been described as dilapidated, had surely come down so bad during this time that it could no longer be used. There was no church service for at least ten years, also due to the rampant plague and the hordes of mercenaries that repeatedly plagued and devastated the Vogtland . In May 1633 there were Swedish troops in Hirschberg and the surrounding area, 600 horsemen and many times that number of infantry . In August 1634, imperial mercenaries camped on the Ullersreuther Flur. These were Croats, an old loan letter mentions the “Groatenberg” in the Ullersreuther Flur.

In the period 1649–1671, the community built a new church, and at its own expense, as was attested in a file by the Russians. This is the first church building that was built in stone. On June 18, 1759 at 3:00 a.m., lightning struck the church. The fire destroyed this and the two adjacent farmsteads that were directly behind it. The then Hutmann (shepherd), who was also Kirchner, had stored the hay for the cattle on the church floor, which immediately caught fire. The congregation did not want to rebuild the church, as the costs could only be met with great effort. The additional reason given was that they were parish in Gefell anyway. Count Heinrich XXIV. Reuss younger line expressly ordered the reconstruction of the Ullersreuth church, since it was not known how the future church conditions would be shaped. This can be understood as a clear allusion that Count Reuss also wanted to strive for separation from the Gefeller Church, i.e. from Electoral Saxony .

In 1761, the completed new building was inaugurated on the last Sunday of Trinity , November 22nd. The new building got a small church tower with a clock. In 1762 the church got two bells, which, according to the inscription , were cast by Johann Mayer in Rudolstadt that same year . These two bells were melted down for war purposes during the First World War due to the lack of metal. In 1851 another lightning strike damaged the church tower. In 1863 the church received its organ, which is said to have cost 125 thalers and was paid for by a Schleiz citizen from Ullersreuth .

Since the Reformation, the pastor from the Electoral Saxon (later Prussia ) neighboring town of Gefell has preached every two Sundays and at the main festivals, as well as at baptisms and weddings. The dead have been buried in the Gefeller Gottesacker since ancient times . This old church relationship was dissolved on October 1st, 1869 by connecting Ullersreuth with the church in Frössen . From 1890 at the latest, the community got its own cemetery.

Mining

On the Ullersreuth corridor, there was lively mining going on from at least the 16th century until the end of the 19th century . There were numerous underground tunnels at mines.

The largest mine and probably the oldest was “Armen Hilfe”. A Mr. Hummel from Ullersreuth probably opened it as early as the 16th century. The mine was not continuously operated, but in 1808 the old mouth hole was rediscovered and rebuilt by the steiger and resident of Ullersreuth Johann Adam Wolfram. The "Christian spring ins Feld" tunnel was opened in 1813, and in 1814 "Build on God". The mine house was laid out in 1820, the tunnel from the Ullersreuther Grund was started by 1823 at the latest, as was the tunnel “come victory with joy”. In 1854 all the tunnels were pierced and connected. The depth in the pit house was 37.4 m. “Armen Hilfe” was operated until 1880 and until 1901, after which the shaft was filled and the mine house demolished.

Other mines were the “Erz-Engel treasure trove”, which collapsed in a mine accident in 1727 in the “princely coaling”. Later on "Heinrichs Glück", Christian's luck, "Abendröthe" & "Morgenröthe" (only pit fields, mouth holes on Dobareuther corridor), "Hope for me". A slate quarry was also present with the name "Gute Hope" on a slope that slopes down towards the Saale.

economy

Ullersreuth has been a strongly agricultural place since it was founded. Today's natural cattle farm is breaking new ground as an organic farmer . The Ullersreuth agricultural cooperative is still active on site, as is a large company in the international wood industry.
