location

history

For the first time Wickerstedt was mentioned in the 9th century as "Wigerestat" ("the settlement of the man Wicker / Wigges") as a Saxon settlement. Other spellings were "Wiegerestete" (around 874), "Wickerstette" (1063) or "Wigherstete" (1174). Variants with "Wigker-", "Wyckir-", "Wiker-" or "Wikirstete" are also known, whereby the term "wig" in Old High German also means "fight" (see also Wighard ).

In 1434 the castle in Wickerstedt was destroyed and as a result the local knight dynasty died out in 1505.

On 9/19 August 1719 (there are two different sources) a major fire destroyed 111 houses in the village. The church, parish, school as well as the brewery and bathhouse were also destroyed by the flames. According to the "Geographical and Historical Handbook of Regional, Ethnic and State Studies" from 1787, the village already consisted of 130 houses at that time, so one can assume that it was almost completely destroyed. The total material damage amounted to 50,592 guilders.

Further fires were recorded for October 24, 1812, June 12, 1818, July 24, 1842 with 17 burned down houses and for August 28 and 29, 1851 with 50 burned down buildings. The cause of the latter was a lightning strike.

The place belonged since the middle of the 15th century to the Ernestine Office Roßla , which in 1572 to Saxe-Weimar , 1603 to Saxe-Altenburg , 1672 again to Saxe-Weimar and 1741 to Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach . During the administrative reform of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, the place came to the administrative district Weimar II ( administrative district Apolda ) in 1850 .

On December 31, 2012 the municipality of Wickerstedt was incorporated into the city of Bad Sulza together with other municipalities.
