history

At the beginning of the 9th century, Zottelstedt was first named Zotanesstede in a list of the goods awarded to the Hersfeld Monastery by Archbishop Lullus († 786) of Mainz .

Another documentary mention is secured for 876: Abbot Siglhardt von Fulda documented Zotonestate when collecting taxes. The name changed in the Middle Ages from Zotonestate to Zotamestedte , then via Zodenstede to Czotenstede to the present name. In 1245 Zodenstede was mentioned in a document from the Heusdorf monastery .

Zottelstedt belonged to the Ernestine Office Roßla since the middle of the 15th century , which in 1572 came to Saxe-Weimar , 1603 to Saxe-Altenburg , 1672 again to Saxe-Weimar and 1741 to Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach . On May 29, 1613 the water level of the Ilm rose six to eight meters above normal during the Thuringian Flood . All houses in the bank area were destroyed. In a fire in 1664, 34 houses were destroyed. In 1806, after the battle of Jena and Auerstedt, both the fleeing Prussian and the advancing Napoleonic troops of Marshal Louis-Nicolas Davout passed through Zottelstedt. During the administrative reform of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, Zottelstedt came to the administrative district of Weimar II ( administrative district Apolda ) in 1850 and to the state of Thuringia in 1920.

On April 14, 1994, there was another devastating Ilm flood, which also flooded the Ilmaue near Zottelstedt and parts of the village.

The upper mill, which was used by the Apolda children's home today (until 2010), dates from the 12th or 13th century. The Niedermühle, built much later, was demolished in 1985.

The village church of St. Vitus was under the patronage of Margrave Dietrich von Meißen until around 1214 . From his property he bequeathed the church to the one who had moved from Camburg to Eisenberg ( Eisenberg Monastery ). Your west tower dates from the 14th century. The historical altar, the ceiling paintings and the organ from the 17th century are remarkable.

A so-called atonement cross made of stone on the banks of the Ilm at the exit towards Apolda was made between the 13th and 16th centuries.

In 1648 the Duke of Saxe-Weimar had a hunting lodge built in Zottelstedt. It was sold as an estate in 1820. Soviet troops razed the manor in 1946 and tore it down on the orders of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD).

A paved road to Apolda and the stone Ilm bridge with central pillar were built in 1866. The bridge had to be demolished in 1998 due to significant flood damage and was replaced by a modern bridge structure.

The 23 m high Seierturm (actually: Seigerturm , i.e. clock tower) was first mentioned in a document in 1499. It initially served as a place of execution and pillory . Until 1890 there were neck irons between the round arches to restrain the delinquents . In 2006 the collar and the wooden ladder were reconstructed.

To the north of Zottelstedt there is also a desert called Ronneburg . However, their traces can only be seen in aerial photographs.
