Weiden is a district of the rural community Am Ettersberg in the Weimarer Land district in Thuringia .
geography
One kilometer northeast of Buttelstedt is the Weiden district in a place that has remained unchanged for centuries. The double dead end village is located in the lower valley of the Rossbach and its confluence with the Scherkonde , a tributary of the Lossa . The greened streams and the village complex form the entire townscape. This is joined by the St. Cyriacus mountain church .
history
According to archived documents, weiden was first mentioned in a document from 1336–1348. The village belonged to the Cistercian Abbey of Pforta and later to other ecclesiastical and secular owners. From 1458, Weiden belonged to the Lords of Meusebach zu Schwerstedt ( Buttelstedt office ). After the Ernestine Elector bought back the Buttelstedt office in 1544, he left Krautheim, Weiden and Oberndorf to the Lords of Meusebach. Since then, Weiden has belonged to the Weimar Office , which has belonged to Sachsen-Weimar since 1572 and to Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach from 1741 . During the administrative reform of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, the place came to the administrative district of Weimar II in 1850 and legally to the Buttstädt Judicial Office .
There was also a mill in 1349/50. The mountain church is the successor to a fortified structure to protect the Via Regia that ran through this area at that time . It also served as a refuge for humans and animals. It was later converted into a church. The remains of the castle are still present in walls, as ditches and ramparts.
