    The town of Ohrdruf can look back on a long history, it was first mentioned in 724 by Boniface and this year in August the 1300th anniversary celebrations will take place.
    Ohrdruf has had town rights since 1348 and the Counts of Gleichen lived here, who built Ehrenstein Castle; their bones are buried in the Ohrdruf town cemetery.
    From 1695 to 1700, Johann Sebastian Bach lived in Ohrdruf with his older brother and learned to play the organ here.
    There is a lot to discover and experience in Ohrdruf and a visit is always worthwhile.

        The Matra used to stand here and electricity was generated here using a turbine and water.
