history

In a document dated February 6, 1231, Wiesenfeld was first named as the "Wisentvelt". Ulrich III. von Callenberg sold the place to the Hochstift Würzburg at that time . The community originally belonged to the original parish of Meeder and was raised to a parish in the 16th century.

The Mönchröden monastery owned an estate in Wiesenfeld. From 1353 Wiesenfeld was under the rule of the Wettins and thus since 1485 in the Electorate of Saxony , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg emerged . The rulership of the village was held by the lord of the manor . The last owner Johann Conrad von Scheres-Zieritz died in 1704 and determined in his will that his house and two Wiesenfeld estates should form a foundation to support needy and worthy people of Evangelical-Lutheran creed in old people's homes. The foundation still supports elderly people in need in Coburg today.

In 1508 there were 22 able-bodied men in Wiesenfeld. Ninety years later, in 1618 at the beginning of the Thirty Years War , there were 35. By 1650 the number had fallen to 24. The number of houses decreased from 35 to 26. Of the 23 Selden , 12% were in a "desert" state .

In a referendum on 30 November 1919 67 Wiesenfelder voted citizens against joining the Free State of Coburg the Thuringian State and three for it. On July 1, 1920, the Free State of Coburg was united with the Free State of Bavaria .

In 1961 Herbartsdorf, 1962 Kösfeld and 1964 Sulzdorf were incorporated into Wiesenfeld. The community of Wiesenfeld in 1970 with its districts had 650 inhabitants. On May 1, 1978, Wiesenfeld was forcibly incorporated into Meeder.

In 1987 the village had 544 inhabitants and 130 houses.
