history
Around the 9th century, the Sorbs began to settle the area around today's city. Before that, the region was only a transit area. In 1209 Triebes - a Sorbian town foundation - was first mentioned as Tributz . In the first half of the 13th century, the bailiffs of Weida founded the place Zeulenroda. Zeulenroda was first mentioned as Zulenrode on August 14, 1325 . In a document from the Saalburg nunnery on the Holy Cross, all villages and farmers are named by name, which are subject to interest in the monastery with real estate. It says: In Zulenrode unus mansus, quem colit ... dictus Dressel. Thanks to its convenient location at the intersection of the Weida - Hof and Auma - Elsterberg streets , the settlement developed into a lively market town. On September 26, 1438 Zeulenroda was granted city rights. In 1500 Zeulenroda was pledged to Messrs. Reuss (Plauen line). With the loss of the hinterland, the city's citizens became impoverished. In 1564 the Reussian area was divided into a younger , middle and older line , to which Zeulenroda belonged. Triebes, however, belonged to Reuss-Schleiz until 1848 , then until 1918 to the Principality of Reuss Younger Line .
Around 1750 Zeulenroda developed into a stronghold of stocking knitting and achieved world fame well into the 19th century. In addition, the carpentry trade as well as the rubber knitwear and knitwear production gained in importance. According to the designs of the factory owner Christian Heinrich Schopper, today's town hall was built in the classical style from 1825 to 1827 , into which the Sparkasse Zeulenroda, founded in 1851, moved in 1880 . The German war brought the principality Reuss older line, which stood on the side of Austria in 1866, to the brink of dissolution. After the war, Reuss older line joined the North German Confederation and became part of the German Empire in 1871 . In 1883 the railway line of the Mehltheuer-Weidaer Railway Company that ran through Zeulenroda and Triebes was inaugurated. The city only got a direct connection with the railway line Zeulenroda und Bf - Zeulenroda ob Bf, which opened in 1914 .
In 1919, the two Russian states formed the People's State of Reuss , which was incorporated into the newly formed state of Thuringia as early as 1920 . In 1919 Triebes received city rights.
In the Zeulenroda city council elections on December 4, 1932, the NSDAP , which stood for the first time, achieved 9 out of 25 seats. Numerous resettlers came to the city during and after the Second World War . The high-frequency laboratory of the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt under its director Adolf Scheibe had been relocated to Zeulenroda when the area bombing began on Berlin . In an attack by the US Air Force on Zeulenroda on March 17, 1945, eight people were killed. Overall, Zeulenroda was largely spared from the war. The 3rd US Army occupied the city on April 16, 1945 without fighting. From July 1, 1945, the city was under Soviet administration . When the Americans withdrew from Thuringia, they evacuated the high-frequency laboratory, along with its employees and their families, to Heidelberg . The Kneusel and Lang machine works were dismantled as reparations to the Soviet Union .
After the founding of the GDR , Zeulenroda became the district town of the Zeulenroda district in the Gera district in the course of the district reforms in the GDR .
On August 13, 1973, the front part of the dam bridge to Auma that was under construction collapsed . Four people died and five were seriously injured. The work (for the first time a bridge in a free porch) took place under deadline pressure and under pressure to save steel. Since the accident occurred on the anniversary of the construction of the wall, sabotage was initially suspected. The chief engineer and two employees were sentenced to several years in prison by the Gera District Court in May 1974, but were then acquitted by the GDR Supreme Court . In the course of the investigation, it was ultimately found that outdated design specifications were the cause. On June 20, 1975, the new drinking water dam on the Weida was officially handed over.
On October 19, 1989, a political demonstration against the SED dictatorship took place in Zeulenroda for the first time . About 3,000 people took part in it. The SED district leadership resigned on November 13th. In the first free local elections after the fall of the Wall on May 6, 1990, Frank Steinwachs (CDU) Zeulenrodaer and Martina Schweinsburg (CDU) became district administrator of the Zeulenroda district . In Triebes, Gerhard Helmert (CDU) was elected mayor and remained so until the merger with Zeulenroda. The state- owned enterprises were privatized, and unemployment rose dramatically. VEB WEMA (machine tool construction), Möbelkombinat, Rotpunkt (rubber goods) and Elastic Mieder (lingerie), which were based in the GDR era, were gradually dissolved as a result of the reunification; new companies, including Bauerfeind AG , settled on new commercial sites.
Due to the Thuringian district reform , Zeulenroda lost its district town status in 1994. A declining population and the possible loss of Zeulenroda status as a middle center allowed Triebes and Zeulenroda to intensify their long-term cooperation. In 2005, both city councils passed resolutions on the merger. The Thuringian Parliament decided on 26 January 2006 with a reorganization law, the resolution of the city drive and the inclusion of Zeulenroda February 1, 2006 and the amendment of the town name in Zeulenroda-Triebes. The Free State of Thuringia supported this voluntary merger with a one-time donation of 1 million euros.
In 2008 Zeulenroda-Triebes applied unsuccessfully to host the 2013 State Horticultural Show . On December 1, 2011, the municipalities of Merkendorf, Silberfeld and Zadelsdorf were incorporated into Zeulenroda-Triebes . In 2012 the neighboring municipality of Vogtland Oberland was dissolved and its districts Arnsgrün (with Büna ), Bernsgrün (with Frotschau and Schönbrunn ) and Pöllwitz (with Dobia and Wolfshain ) incorporated into the town of Zeulenroda-Triebes. These were merged to form the Arnsgrün-Bernsgrün-Pöllwitz district.
Population development of Zeulenroda
In 1908 the population of Zeulenroda exceeded the 10,000 mark. In 1946 the city had grown to over 14,000 inhabitants due to the large number of resettlers who had lost their homeland as a result of the chaos of war and had come to Zeulenroda. At the beginning of the 1990s, over 15,000 people lived in Zeulenroda. In recent years, the number of residents has declined slightly due to demographic developments and people moving away.

- Yesterday I worried, and if I hadn't really known the Frea who cooked mrsch, I wouldn't have believed it. Ne suwas, everything that happens su heitzetoche. ("I heard something yesterday, and if I didn't know the woman who told me so well, I wouldn't have believed it. No, something like that, which everything happens these days.")
Carp piper legend
According to a legend, Zeulenrodaers once had to help the princely lords in Greiz to fish the castle pond. As a reward, they were invited to an evening carp dinner. But since the Greiz carp tasted of mud because of the polluted ponds and the Zeulenrodaers, who were known for their good carp from their own ponds, did not eat them, one of them vented his displeasure. He got up and shouted: “We don't give a damn about your carp!” Since that day the citizens of Zeulenroda have been nicknamed “Karpfenpfeifer”.
MS Zeulenroda
