The Wartburgkreis is a district in Thuringia . With 1267.26 km² it is the largest district in the Free State in terms of area . The district town is Bad Salzungen . The Wartburg, which gave the district its name, has no longer been part of the district since the spin-off of the now independent city of Eisenach in 1998. The district extends along the central reaches of the Werra and the Hessian-Thuringian border. It almost completely encloses the independent city of Eisenach. In terms of spatial planning , the district belongs to the Southwest Thuringia planning region and is a member of the Southwest Thuringia planning community .

Waters
The district has 1326 hectares of water.
Flowing waters
All of the surface water that occurs is discharged to the Weser and North Sea via the Werra . The entire circuit area is thus according to the Water Act of RBD Weser assigned.
The Wartburgkreis has the largest share of the central reaches of the Werra. Due to historical demarcations since the Middle Ages, the Werra in the section between Vacha and Großburschla forms the state border between Hesse and Thuringia several times.
In the following, all rivers of the first order are listed according to the classification according to Appendix 1 of the Thuringian Water Act and the most important waters of the second order; 1st order waters are shown in bold:

Standing waters
The Wartburg district has only a few natural standing waters, which are mainly formed as sinkhole lakes . These include the Burgsee , the Buchensee and the Erlensee in or near Bad Salzungen, the Hautsee and the Albertsee near Dönges , the Frauensee , the Bernshäuser Kutte and the Schönsee near Urnshausen and the Forstloch near Immelborn .
The Schönsee and Kiesseen I and II of the Immelborn gravel pit are designated as bathing waters .
As early as the Middle Ages, the construction of fish ponds began, which mostly arose in the vicinity of monasteries. As a result of the gravel extraction in the Werra valley, gravel pit waters were created near Treffurt, Mihla, Gerstungen, Dankmarshausen, Vacha, Immelborn and Barchfeld.
A specialty is the Wilhelmsthaler See , it was created as a reservoir in the course of the Elte to complement the park of Wilhelmsthal Castle and originally served as a gondola pond. Built around 1715, it is considered the oldest dam in Thuringia. Other reservoirs, mostly built as irrigation reservoirs in the second half of the 20th century, are located near Ettenhausen / Suhl , Großenlupnitz, Burkhardtroda and Bairoda. An industry-related water reservoir was created in Fuchsgrund near Thal.
Backwaters of the Werra, created by river straightening, are still present at Tiefenort, Gerstungen, Pferdsdorf-Spichra and Treffurt.
Moors
As a result of leaching and subsidence processes, extensive moorland and wetland areas were formed north of Bad Salzungen and near Dankmarshausen, known as Moorgrund and Rhäden (with the Dankmarshäuser Rhäden nature reserve ). Most of these were transformed into grassland through amelioration in the 19th century. The raised bogs in the high areas of the Rhön enjoy special protection.
history
In the 19th century, the area of today's Wartburg district belonged in large parts to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . A number of communities around Bad Salzungen, Bad Liebenstein, the exclaves Oberellen and Dietlas belonged to the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen . The district of Barchfeld occupies a special position, it formed an exclave of Hessen-Kassel until 1866 and then belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia . The north-western part with Treffurt and its current districts Großburschla , Schnellmannshausen (partially) and Falken belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia, district of Mühlhausen , since 1817 . The northeastern part, the Hörselberg region and Ruhla belonged to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha .
After the First World War , the amalgamation of the individual states led to the establishment of the Free State of Thuringia on May 1, 1920, although the previously Prussian areas were left out.
The Thuringian government carried out the first district division in 1921. Eisenach became an independent city, the majority of today's district area formed the district of Eisenach . The town of Bad Salzungen and its neighboring towns were assigned to the district of Meiningen . The villages of Bairoda and Barchfeld belonged to the then Hessian district of Herrschaft Schmalkalden .
The founding of the GDR on October 7, 1949 led to the first administrative structural reform in 1950. The newly created Bad Salzungen district was made up of the northwestern part of the Meiningen district (Bad Salzungen and neighboring communities) and the southern part of the Eisenach district, the Eisenacher Oberland , put together. The town of Treffurt with the neighboring towns of Großburschla, Schnellmannshausen (partially) and Falken remained in the Mühlhausen district.
Another administrative reform in 1952 led to the formation of the districts of Erfurt , Gera and Suhl . In the course of this reform, the area around Behringen came to the Bad Langensalza district , the city of Treffurt and neighboring towns were transferred to the Eisenach district . From then on, the Eisenach district belonged to the Erfurt district, the Bad Salzungen district to the Suhl district. This administrative structure lasted until the district reform in Thuringia in 1994.
The Wartburgkreis was created on July 1, 1994 on the basis of the law on the reorganization of the districts and independent cities in Thuringia of August 16, 1993 by merging the Eisenach and Bad Salzungen districts and the communities of Behringen, Craula, Reichenbach, Tüngeda and Wolfsbehringen of the Bad district Langensalza.
The district office was initially located in Bad Salzungen and Eisenach. On January 1, 1998, the city of Eisenach became a district and Bad Salzungen became the sole district town.
As part of the Thuringia regional reform in 2018 and 2019 , the city of Kaltennordheim was reclassified from the Wartburg district to the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district on January 1, 2019.

Economy and Infrastructure
Economy and industry
Due to the automotive location Eisenach, there are numerous industrial companies as automotive suppliers and service companies in the Wartburg district. In Creuzburg the currently largest and most modern sawmill in Europe was created. In the south-western part of the district lies the eastern part of the Werra potash district, a traditional center of the potash industry and Thuringian mining. The Merkers Mine was when it opened in 1925, the largest potash mine in the world; today carried potash mining in K + S -Werk Unterbreizbach . The spa, clinic and rehabilitation facilities in and around Bad Liebenstein , Bad Salzungen and Stadtlengsfeld are concentrated in the southern Wartburg district .
The industrial region around Ruhla with the traditional watch industry , machine tool construction, electronics production and numerous small businesses as suppliers has restructured. Centuries-old knowledge and skills of woodworking have been preserved in the Rhön and can be learned, for example, in Empfertshausen . As a biosphere reserve, the Rhön is also a center of organic agriculture and gentle tourism. The Hainich National Park is developing in a similar way in the northeast of the district .
The settlement of aviation-specific companies in the vicinity of the Eisenach-Kindel airfield is planned, which has already been achieved in some cases. In the Kindel industrial area (municipality of Hörselberg-Hainich ), important automotive suppliers and an assembly plant for heavy construction vehicles (tippers) as well as a large logistics company have also settled.
In the Future Atlas 2016 , the Wartburg district was ranked 353 out of 402 districts and urban districts in Germany, making it one of the regions with “high future risks”.

Renewable energy
In the Wartburg district there are several wind priority areas with wind turbines . Several former landfills and industrial sites are used for photovoltaic systems, for example in Dietlas , near Creuzburg and on the former Bad Salzungen district garbage dump. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Werra with its tributaries has been used in the district to generate energy. There are hydropower plants at Tiefenort, Dorndorf, Berka, Spichra, Mihla and Falken, among others. Since the beginning of 2018, resistance has been rising in the population of the surrounding areas against the planned expansion of the wind priority area on the Reitberg south of Mihla and the construction of further, larger wind turbines in the area. The establishment of a citizens' initiative is planned.
