The Wackenhof is a hamlet consisting of three homesteads and the forest settlement . It is part of the Kupfersuhl district of the municipality of Moorgrund in the Wartburg district in Thuringia .
location
The Wackenhof is located about one and a half kilometers north of the locality of Kupfersuhl and about ten kilometers (as the crow flies ) from the district town of Bad Salzungen .
history
The Wackenhof belongs to a group of courtyards and small settlements ( Baueshof , Clausberg , Lutzberg , Kriegersberg , Hütschhof , Frommeshof , Rangenhof , Mölmeshof , Lindigshof , Josthof and others) that have been in the Buntsandstein region since the high Middle Ages of the Counts of Frankenstein and their home monastery Frauensee. Hill country near Marksuhl were founded.
The district of Wackenhof was mentioned in 1268 as Wackenhusen in a document from the Fulda monastery . The settlements of Wackenhusen and Flachsland were given to the Order of Lazarus as fiefdoms, the order of knights established a leprosy in Wackenhausen - as a hospital for lepers . This was also subordinate to the Gotha Hospital. As the Komturhof, the Wackenhof was also an important administrative center of the order in Thuringia. With the decline of the epidemic in the 15th century, the Order of Lazarites was incorporated into the Order of St. John by papal order . In 1489, the knight Heinrich Schmuckschuh was enfeoffed with the Wackenhof as the last Lazaritan commander in charge. He was supposed to rebuild the already dilapidated yard, and to renew the altar and chapel.
In the 16th century, the Wackenhof belonged to the Salzunger salt works, the forests were used as firewood for salt production. Copper ore was mined on the Blauer Berg and in the Flachsgrund. The Wackenhof was part of the copper mines around Kupfersuhl. In 1879, based on the 1875 census , statistical information was published for the first time. At that time the Wackenhof consisted of three houses with 18 inhabitants on a total area of 69.6 hectares - of which courtyards and gardens 1.8 hectares, meadows 1.8 hectares, fields 38.4 hectares, forests (no own stock), ponds, streams and rivers 0.6 ha, roads, drifts and orchards 15.8 ha. Like Kupfersuhl, Wackenhof was parish and schooled in Möhra.
Culture and sights
In 2007 the Weimar music professor Reinhard Wolschina acquired the already endangered and completely desolate homestead Wackenhof 4. After successful renovation, the owners were awarded the Wartburg District Monument Prize in September 2009.
The artist couple came up with the idea of a Wackenhof cultural foundation during the renovation work. With a musician friend from Erfurt, attempts were made in 2010 and again in 2012 to use the homestead for cultural purposes, and they participated with concerts in the action The Long Day of Nature .
traffic
The Wackenhof is located on the L 2115 state road, which connects 500 m south of the farms to the K 9 district road. The Sallmannshäuser Rennsteig leads past the village just north .
Others
In 1965, a youth from Wackenhof received a public reprimand: infected by the winter sports enthusiasm for the GDR ski jumpers - his idol was Dieter Neuendorf from the neighboring town of Ruhla , he built his own ski jump for training on a forest aisle. The municipal administration, LPG and the forest found no understanding and reported the young athletes. He received a public reprimand and had to dismantle the hill at his own expense.

Südthüringer Zeitung (editorial office Bad Salzungen), June 8, 2012, accessed on September 18, 2012 : “Playing a flute in the open air can be difficult: When the wind is strong, the air flow between the lips of the musician and the mouth hole of the flute is broken , then the instrument remains mute. Joy Dutt, solo flutist at the Erfurt Philharmonic Orchestra, had to deal with that on Saturday afternoon at the Long Day of Nature on the Wackenhof near Kupfersuhl. But the Indian artist knew what to do and positioned himself in the open door of a coach house - and the third concert in this series of events could already be heard. "
