history
The administrative community Oberes Sprottental was formed on October 12, 1994 from the administrative communities Löbichau-Wildenbörten and Thonhausen and the communities of Nöbdenitz and Posterstein. In the neighboring district of Greiz , the VG Oberes Sprottetal existed from 1991 to 1995 , which was then renamed Am Brahmetal . On January 1, 2019, the member communities Nöbdenitz and Wildenbörten were spun off from the administrative community as part of the Thuringia regional reform in 2018 and 2019 and incorporated into the city of Schmölln . In 2020 the seat of the administrative community moved from the Nöbdenitz moated castle to the mansion next to Posterstein Castle, which was renovated in 2018/2019.
