Wernershausen is part of the municipality of Nazza in the Wartburg district , Thuringia , Germany . Wernershausen is located about 15 kilometers (as the crow flies) north-northeast of Eisenach . The place Wernershausen consists of the former Bahnerschen Gut, which is used today as a pension; two old half-timbered houses and a modern residential building. The hamlet is located two kilometers from Nazza in the midst of pastures and fields, on the Wernershäuser Höhe . It is very closely linked to the history of the neighboring town of Mihla .

history

In the vicinity of the estate, evidence of a prehistoric settlement (site of the bell-cup culture ) was discovered during forest work. At the same time as the neighboring Mihlaer Wüstungen Almenhausen , Werthausen and Harstall , the small settlement of Wernershausen was built.

The Vorwerk Wernershausen was mentioned in a Mihla document as early as 1243 and later belonged to the Red Castle in Mihla. It was owned by the von Wangenheim family in the 15th century and sold to the Mihlaer Harstalls. Wernershausen was a Vorwerk with four residential buildings until the 19th century and belonged to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach , Amt Creuzburg . The population was around 20 people around 1870. The expropriation of the landowners in the former Soviet Zone also deprived Wilhelm Bahner of his property, he was expropriated, and after his death in 1947 a memorial stone was erected on the edge of the forest.

Due to poor access to the cultivated areas, Wernershausen was separated from the Mihla corridor on June 1, 1959 and incorporated into the Nazza corridor. The residents worked in agriculture. In September 2009 , Peter Bröcher, the head of the Bahner community of heirs , received the Wartburg District Monument Protection Prize for his efforts to rebuild the mansion and manor that had been run down in the GDR era .
