View of the village of Wogau

Wogau is a district of Jena in Thuringia .

geography

Wogau is located in the Gembdental, through which the Gembdenbach flows. The district boundary of Wogau is about 600 m east of the village and is also the eastern border from Jena to the Saale-Holzland district with the neighboring community of Großlöbichau . North of the village, the B 7 runs between Jena and Bürgel at the foot of the 380 m high mountain range of the Jenzig . The closest settlements, apart from Großlöbichau in the east, are Jenaprießnitz , another district of Jena, in the south and Wenigenjena , also Jena district, in the west (about 2.5 km away).

history

Before 1810 there was a monastery in Wogau, later a Freihof and Rittergut , to which most of the Wogau corridor belonged, but not the mill and property. This noble estate belonged to the possession of the Bürgel monastery and after its dissolution in the course of the Reformation in 1526 came to the Ernestine office of Bürgel . Due to several divisions, this belonged to different Ernestine duchies .

Up until the beginning of the Thirty Years' War there was hardly any evidence of local history. During the war, the secret council and superintendent of Jena, Bernhard Pflugk zum Posterstein , was the owner of the estate. In 1683, Duke Johann Wilhelm granted the Pflugk family the bar fair for Wenigenjena because of the services they had acquired in the country . In the donation letter of November 5, 1683, it says: For him [Bernhard] , his heirs, descendants and owners of the estate in Wogau hereditary and peculiar . In 1695, Pflugk transferred the manor to the then underage Barons von Meuselbach. In 1697 it was bought by Lieutenant Friedrich Wilhelm von Rudolph, who in 1703 transferred it to his sons Christian Friedrich and Georg Wilhelm. Towards the end of the 18th century, the manor went to the von Schauroth brothers. In 1810 they ceded it to the ducal chamber of Weimar in return for an annual annuity of 400 thalers. At the same time, they ceded the liquor justice for Wenigenjena. After the ducal chamber had sold the manor to the community of Wogau for 8,000 thalers in 1810, the manor was parceled out and bought by the individual resident families. Today, the outline of these courtyards has largely been preserved, but the purchase of farmsteads and land means that they differ greatly from the former parceling.

From 1815 Wogau was part of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach and initially belonged to the Jena office . After 1850 it was incorporated into the Weimar II administrative district (later Apolda administrative district ). In 1920 the place came to the state of Thuringia . Today street names like Am Klosterhof and Am Krautgarten still remind of the former monastery property.
