Weisbach is a small village in the middle of the Thuringian Slate Mountains with 186 inhabitants (as of 2009) and is part of the municipality of Remptendorf in the Saale-Orla district .
geography
The village is on the eastern edge of a plateau, away from all major roads. Not far away is the former Triptis – Marxgrün railway with the Ziemestal bridge . The Hohenwarte reservoir extends to the north . The area of the municipality is designated with 584 ha.
history
The place was first mentioned in a document in 1347. It was probably founded as a street village in the second half of the 12th century as part of the state development by the Lords of Lobdeburg . The bailiffs of Gera took over the rule of Weisbach from the lords of Lobdeburg zu Saalburg around the middle of the 13th century . Because the small tower hill castle of the Lobdeburgers on the south-eastern outskirts no longer seemed sufficient as a border fortress against the Schwarzburger , the bailiffs built a new hilltop castle, the Wysburg , on the castle hill two kilometers away in the last decades before 1300 . This was probably destroyed in the Vogtland War in autumn 1354 by a contingent of the imperial cities of Erfurt, Mühlhausen and Nordhausen.
Until 1920 Weisbach was divided between the Reuss and the Schwarzburgers . The Schwarzburg part formed an exclave that belonged to the Leutenberg area of the sovereignty of the principality or Free State of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt (from 1850 to the district office of Rudolstadt ). The Russian part belonged to the "Herrschaft Lobenstein" ( Reuss-Lobenstein line ). In 1848 this came to the Principality of Reuss Younger Line (from 1852 to the Schleiz District Office ) and in 1919 to the People's State of Reuss .
During the time of the GDR, Weisbach belonged to the Lobenstein district in the Gera district . After 1990, it was a member of the Saale-Sormitz-Höhen administrative community until it was incorporated into the district reform in Thuringia on July 1, 1999. Since then, it has been a part of the Remptendorf community.
