history

Weickenbach was first mentioned in 1291. In 1317 the settlement was named "Weytenbach". The brook name "Blue Bach" has probably been transferred to the name of the settlement.

In 1353, Weickenbach came to the Wettins by inheritance with the Coburg Land and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged. In the hereditary book of Sonnefeld monastery from 1514, the whole place was listed as the property of the monastery. After the death of Duke Albrecht in 1699, Weickenbach belonged to Sachsen-Hildburghausen as part of the Sonnefeld office from 1705 . In 1826 the office of Sonnefeld came back to Saxony-Coburg in accordance with the Hildburghausen partition agreement . Weickenbach has been part of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Gestungshausen for centuries .

In 1837 the village had 53 inhabitants, in 1871 there were 46.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, 2 Weickenbach citizens voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 15 against. Thus, from July 1, 1920, Weickenbach belonged to the Free State of Bavaria . In 1925 the settlement comprised 130.53 hectares, 49 residents and 9 residential buildings. The school was located in Zedersdorf, 1.4 kilometers away .

On July 1, 1967, Weickenbach merged with Gestungshausen. With effect from January 1, 1972, Gestungshausen was incorporated into the Sonnefeld community. In 1987 the village had 32 inhabitants, 8 residential buildings and 8 apartments.
