geography

history

The settlement of Wachholderbaum developed from around 1700 around the Ausspann and the Altenburgischer Hof customs office on the trade route between Gera and Leipzig (today's B 2). It is listed as a municipality for the first time in 1718. Wachholderbaum, together with Hain, Röpsen , parts of Dorna and Roschütz, formed a Wettin enclave in the Principality of Reuss younger line belonging to the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg until 1918 . The parish and school location was traditionally Röpsen.

On July 1, 1950, Wachholderbaum is incorporated into Hain.

As part of the law for the reorganization of the districts and independent cities in Thuringia , Wachholderbaum and Hain were incorporated into the city of Gera in 1994 after all legal means had been exhausted against the will of the residents.

politics

Since 1994, the two places have formed the Hain district of the city of Gera with its own local constitution and local council (until II / 2009 local council) . The district mayor has been Roland Meinecke (SPD) since 1994.
