Waldsachsen is a district of the Upper Franconian town of Rödental in the Coburg district . On July 1, 1971, the place joined the large community of Rödental.
geography
Waldsachsen is about 20 meters higher south of the Itz valley. The place is traversed by the Krebsbach , a right tributary of the Itz. The distance to the city center of Coburg in the southwest is around five kilometers.
To the west of the village, at the foot of the Bausenberg, runs the bundled route of the federal motorway 73 and the high-speed line from Nuremberg to Erfurt .
history
The first written mention of the settlement "Waltsassyn", from which today's Waldsachsen developed, is dated to the year 1317. In a Urbarium the handover of the village is a fief of Henneberger registered to Charles of Heldritt.
Dietrich von Coburg, whose family the castle "Osselein" ( Oeslau ) had to 1451, came in 1346 through an exchange of goods with the court and Vorwerk new in the possession of the village. In the 15th century, the noble family von Waldenfels ruled the estate.
After the death of Valentin von Selbitz, the last beneficiary of his family, the fief fell back to the sovereign Duke Johann Casimir in 1630 . He gave the manor to his chancellor Ernst Fomann. A bronze coat of arms of the Fomanns von Waldsachsen is embedded in the choir wall of the Morizkirche in Coburg . In 1800, Carl Siegmund Friedrich Fomann, the last male descendant of his family, died. There was again a reversion of the fief to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, who sold it to the squire Friedrich Ludwig Emil von Coburg. For financial reasons Emil von Coburg had to sell the property back to the Duke in 1822, who leased the chamber property over the next few decades.
In the middle of the manor there was a castle on a hill, which burned down from February 19th to 20th, 1822. Five people were killed. The ruins of the fire had been torn down by 1846. In the area of the abandoned castle, foundation walls are suspected.
In 1882 the domain property was dissolved and sold to the population. Since 1590 the school in Einberg was responsible for the students from Waldsachsen. Due to the large number of pupils, the community built an elementary school, which was inaugurated in 1891 and used until the 1967 school year. Since then, primary school students have been back to school in Einberg. From 1968 the school house housed the mayor's office.
