Wellmersdorf is a district of the Upper Franconian town of Neustadt bei Coburg in the Coburg district .

location

Wellmersdorf is about five kilometers south of Neustadt in a small valley between the heights of Stiefvater and Fechheimer Berg. The Röthenbach, a right tributary of the Steinach, flows through the village . The communal roads from Neustadt to Fechheim and from Horb to Boderndorf cross in the village.

history

Wellmersdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1307. At that time, Walter von Barby, governor of the Coburg possessions of the sovereign Margrave Hermann von Brandenburg, left the Banz monastery with an estate in the place as compensation for “unreasonable” damage. The name of the landlord Wilimar is included in the name of the district as a defining word.

In 1516 there were eight estates in the place. In the north of Wellmersdorfer Heide there was a Marian pilgrimage chapel in the 16th century. This was canceled on the occasion of the first Protestant church visit in 1528. Before the Thirty Years' War there were nine able-bodied men in Wellmersdorf; in 1646 there were three. Of 62 cattle in 1630, eight years later none were left.

Wellmersdorf has been part of the Fechheim parish since the Middle Ages . Around 1820 there were 16 families, a widow and a teacher in the village. In the first half of the 19th century, there was a prep school in Wellmersdorf . In June 1860 a schoolhouse for the children of the communities Wellmersdorf, Boderndorf , Kemmaten and Birkig was inaugurated. In August 1955, a new, single-class school building replaced the old building. From 1965 the upper school students had to go to school in Neustadt, from 1971 all students. The vacant school building has been used as a kindergarten since 1972.

In the center of the village there is a listed community bakery from 1840 with cattle scales. In 1875 the volunteer fire brigade was founded.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, no Wellmersdorfer citizen voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 31 against. Thus, from July 1, 1920, Wellmersdorf belonged to the Free State of Bavaria . In the Reichstag election of November 6, 1932 , the NSDAP received 45 votes out of a total of 50 in Wellmersdorf. In World War I lost three and in the Second World War eight Wellmer Dorfer soldiers their lives. After the Second World War, the proximity of the inner-German border shaped the place until 1989 .

Since November 17, 1973, a cooperative distillery in Wellmersdorf has been making brandy from potatoes .

The local council approved the integration agreement to Neustadt on December 6, 1975 with 8: 1 votes. On May 1, 1978 Wellmersdorf was incorporated into Neustadt.

The drinking water supply used to be through running wells. A community-owned system with house connections existed from 1894. After July 1, 1978, the water supply was provided by the Spittelsteiner Group, which was taken over in 1986 by the Neustadt municipal utilities. From 1921 the electricity supplier was the overland plant of the Gumpertschen mill in Mupperg and from February 1938 the Bamberg overland plant in Upper Franconia. In 1997 Stadtwerke Neustadt took over the power supply. In 1987 Wellmersdorf had 32 residential buildings, 19 of which were built after 1949. Most of the new residential buildings were built in the Wellmersdorf-Ost building area.
