Description

Taubach is a small village in Thuringia, south-east to Weimar. The main occupation of its about 1,100 inhabitants are various economical and cultural activities.

History

Taubach was first mentioned as "Thovbeche" with mention of its mill in Schenkungsurkunde of 1120. It is thereby the oldest mill location in Thuringia confirmed by a document. The church building in Taubach has the first reference in 1462. Their current appearance of the St. Ursula church was re-built in 1855 by the Weimar building-master Coudray. One of its ministers was the Thuringian poet August Ludwig. On resolution of the local council in 1994, Taubach was integrated into the city of Weimar.

Bach Connection

J.S. Bach visited Taubach in 1710, while he was serving at the Weimar court, for examining the new organ (11 stops, 1 section) built by H.N. Trebs.
