Unterlauter is a district of the Upper Franconian community Lautertal in the district of Coburg .

geography

Unterlauter is about five kilometers northeast of Coburg an der Lauter (also known as Lauterbach). The Maasgraben and the Flöhbachgraben flow through the village and flow into the Lauter. In Unterlauter, the district road CO 27, formerly Bundesstraße 4 in the direction of Eisfeld and Coburg, and the district road CO 17 in the direction of Meeder and Rödental intersect at court square .

history

The place called Lauter until 1516 was first mentioned in 850 in a document of the Fulda monastery as "Lutaraha". A mention from the year 833 as "villa Hlutru" cannot be clearly assigned to Unterlauter.

The settlement was built above the Lauter at the intersection of the Hohen Strasse, a north-south road from Bamberg to Erfurt and the east-west road from the Bohemian to Fulda via Königshofen. It was probably in the 8th century capital of the centering district Lauter, the easternmost centering in Grabfeldgau . The place with the Central Court was a fortified base of an imperial court , a court in royal possession. The original settlement center was east of the Lauter in an elevated position around today's churchyard and consisted, among other things, of a farmyard and a chapel as well as a mill on the Lauter.

Later the Reichshof was divided into a lower and an upper court, from which Unterlauter and Oberlauter emerged. In 1075 the Unterlauter mansion came into the possession of the Abbey of Saalfeld . The monastery Mönchröden came into possession in the place when it was founded in 1149 by Hermann Sterker, Burgrave of Meißen . In the 14th century the manorial court was owned by Schaumberger . The noble families of Lauter and Lusemer von Lauter ruled the village from 1145 to 1374. In 1347 the Central Court was responsible for 43 villages.

At the beginning of the 14th century Unterlauter was under the rule of the Henneberger . In 1353 the place with the Coburg Land came by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged. In 1317 there were four mills in Unterlauter. Today the upper mill, the middle mill and the lower mill, all former grinding mills and the Löhleinsmühle, a former Merbel and paper mill, whose owners have water rights.

Until the 16th century the place was called Lauter and in the meantime had town and market rights . The higher jurisdiction was lost after Coburg was founded in 1331. The lower jurisdiction of the central court had the task of ensuring law and order in the fields and forest.

1618 there were nine in Lauter goods and 38 Sölden, the Moenchroedener fief , parish Lauter fiefdom, Coburg Office fief Einbergisch fief Roßlehen and foam Berglehen were. The manor was a spacious manor with massive houses.

In 1445 27, 1508 36 and 1618 54 able-bodied men lived in Unterlauter. After the Thirty Years War there were 22 able-bodied men in 1650 and 26 houses still existed. In 1632 imperial troops plundered the place. Before the war, there were about 20 funerals a year. As a result of the Lamboyian occupation, which lasted about half a year, the church death records recorded 91 burials in 1634 and 176 burials in 1635 due to hunger and epidemics.

Old school

A rectory was built in 1512 and repaired in 1774. A new school building was built in 1709. Evangelical teachers have been documented by name since 1616. In 1852 130 students from Unterlauter, Oberlauter, Dörfles , Esbach and Taimbach attended the school. In 1860 a new school building replaced the old building next to the church and the cemetery was relocated. In 1806, 83 villages with 15,222 inhabitants belonged to the Lauter court in the Coburg district. In 1810 the court was dissolved.

In the middle of the 19th century, the Reichsstraße was re-routed through the upper Lautertal to Eisfeld. In December 1899, the municipality rejected a stop on the Werra Railway in neighboring Oberlauter. In 1901 502 residents lived in 91 houses. Electricity suppliers were from 1906 the Max Liebermann power station in the Obermühle and from 1921 the Coburg overland works . The community was connected to the telephone network in 1908.

Before US troops marched in, Unterlauter was set on fire by fighter bombers on April 10, 1945 because German soldiers were resisting there. It cost eleven people their lives.

In 1953, the community joined the association for the water supply of the Lautergrund communities. The ring water supply was inaugurated in 1965. The Lautergrund waste water disposal association was founded in 1961 together with the municipality of Oberlauter. The sewage system in the separation system and the sewage treatment plant were commissioned in 1964. At the beginning of the 1960s, a joint eight-class elementary school for the two municipalities was established on the border between Unterlauter and Oberlauter, which was inaugurated in January 1963. In 1965 the school districts Neunkirchen-Tiefenlauter and Rottenbach - Tremersdorf were included. In 1968 the six municipalities founded the Lautergrund School Association.

On May 4, 1969, out of 826 eligible voters, 374 voted for and 67 against the merger with Oberlauter, Tiefenlauter and Neukirchen. 363 voters were in favor of the proposed place name Lautergrund. A total of 68 percent of the voters in the four towns voted in favor of the union. With effect from July 1, 1969, Unterlauter was merged with the communities of Neukirchen , Oberlauter and Tiefenlauter to form the new community of Lautertal, in accordance with a decree of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior .

Attractions

Trinity Church
  • The Unterlauterer Kreuzstein on the court square, standing under a linden tree that is more than 700 years old, is a stone slab made of reed sandstone in which the cross is carved in relief. It is seen in connection with the Central Court. The age is believed to be between the 10th and 13th centuries. It is probably the oldest art monument in the Coburg region.
  • The Trinity Church goes back to a chapel that was mentioned in a document in 1265. The parish became independent in 1461. The Romanesque church was part of a fortified church. From 1741 to 1743, today's church was built as a baroque hall church in margrave style under the guidance of the Coburg master mason Johann Georg Brückner.
