history
The community was first mentioned in documents in 1390 as Gut zu Nieder-Breyzbach . The village in the soft landscape of the city of Vacha (in the Hessian Amt Vacha ) was dominated by agriculture until the beginning of the 20th century. The local nobility and their successors from the surrounding communities of Rasdorf , Mansbach , Völkershausen and Buttlar have left no structural traces in the village. The church in Unterbreizbach is a Protestant branch church of the Vacha town church and was consecrated in 1773. In the historic center around the church, half-timbered houses typical of the region dominate the townscape.
19th century
In 1816 the place came from Kurhessen to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . In 1879, based on the census of 1875, statistical information on the place Unterbreizbach was published, the place had 83 houses and 484 inhabitants on the reference date. The size of the field was 580.3 ha - of which courtyards and gardens 9.2 ha, meadows 91.5 ha, arable land 287.2 ha. Forest 156.2 ha, ponds, streams and rivers 5.7 ha. Trifte, wasteland and orchards accounted for 30.4 hectares. The livestock was 18 horses, 265 cattle, 360 sheep, 126 pigs and 33 goats as well as 56 bee colonies.
20th century
In 1906, Unterbreizbach was connected to rail traffic and a station on the newly opened Ulstertalbahn , which connected Vacha with Geisa and later with Tann (Rhön) .
On April 2, 1945, the village was handed over to the approaching US troops without a fight. When they were attacked by a dispersed SS unit, the place was still under fire and 45 buildings in the town center including the station building were destroyed.
In the GDR, the situation in the immediate vicinity of the border meant that Unterbreizbach was in the 5 km exclusion zone . Residents had a corresponding note in their identity cards, and visitors had to apply for a pass that allowed them to stay in the restricted area.
Economy and Infrastructure
Mining
The economy in the municipality is shaped by the potash industry. The chemical factory of K + S AG is located in the core town of Unterbreizbach . Here, the raw salt from the mine is processed into fertilizers. Between Sünna and Buttlar at the B84 is at Mühlwärts of belonging to the work Unterbreizbach shaft II , which mainly for the Seilfahrt of Kali-mate is used. The locations in Hattorf , Wintershall , Unterbreizbach and the Merkers visitor mine have together formed the Werra network in the Werra potash district since 1997 . Their underground geographic extent is comparable to the urban area of Munich.
On October 1, 2013, during an extraction blast at a depth of 900 meters, the nano-explosion of a dust / salt / CO₂ mixture caused a carbonic acid explosion, killing three miners .
In Unterbreizbach there was a 200 meter high chimney that belonged to the power plant and the kieserite plant of the local K + S plant. After the system was converted to natural gas, it was shortened to 94 meters in 2001/2002 with the help of a special excavator in order to minimize the risk of condensation forming in the chimney, which can lead to corrosion damage.

Südthüringer Zeitung (editorial office Bad Salzungen), March 25, 2010, accessed on September 30, 2012 : “An overall concept for the waste disposal area must be resolved, ... including the promotion of small wastewater treatment plants in the areas that have now been exempted from the obligation to dispose of waste water. Sooner or later the Lower Water Authority will demand the construction of fully biological systems in these areas. Within the municipality of Unterbreizbach, the permanent liberation concerns Mühlwärts and Poppenberg. Deicheroda, Hüttenroda and Mosa had a local canal and remained public areas. However, it is more economical there if the property owners build a fully biological system with a connection to a transmission into the public sewer. "
