Rohr is a municipality in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district in Thuringia.

History

Rohr was first mentioned in 815. A Benedictine monastery was established in the 9th century and a Carolingian church, St. Michaels, was built. The monastery lasted for about 100 years but the church survives today.In 1206 a Benedictine convent was established outside of town. The convent was closely associated with the House of Henneberg and to a lesser degree with the Bibra family especially in the 14th century. Kloster Rohr was abandoned after reformation and is now a technical school. The shell of the former church was renovated into a modern building in the 2000s.
