Ufhoven (pronounced as /de/) is a quarter of the town of Bad Langensalza in Thuringia, central Germany.
Ufhoven is located directly southwest of the core town of Bad Langensalza and is tangent to the Bundesstraßen (federal highways) B 84 and B 247. Two branches of the Salza, a tributary of the Unstrut, flow through the village.
According to the document book of the town and the former district of Langensalza, the first mention of the village of Ufhoven dates from around 1047–1050.
Ufhoven Castle, of which only a few wall remains can be seen today, was located in the village itself and was the third of the fortifications of the town of Langensalza of Dryburg, which consisted of three castles. The Lords of Salza had built Dribogk Castle as their seat and bought the "Ufhoufe" (according to the Düringische Chronik). In 1212, Emperor Otto IV laid siege to the Dryburg of the Lords of Salza in a dispute with the Thuringian Landgrave Hermann I. The Lords of Salza surrendered and Gunther of Salza was allowed to keep Ufhoven Castle. He also received the villages of Döllstädt and Ufhoven. Until 1815, the village belonged to the Electorate of Langensalza, and after it was ceded to Prussia, from 1816 to 1944 it belonged to the district of Langensalza in the province of Saxony.
The merging of the municipality of Ufhoven with the town of Langensalza was decided by the Ufhoven municipal council on 16 May 1950. 10 of the 14 valid votes were "yes" from the SED and the CDU, 4 votes were "no" from the LDP. The incorporation took place on 1 July 1950.
The Bad Langensalza town council decided in February 2019 that Ufhoven should officially become a quarter of Bad Langensalza and have its own village council and mayor.[3] Uwe Domni was elected mayor.
The municipal coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg state archivist Otto Korn. It was awarded by the Chief President of the Province of Saxony on 22 October 1937.The coat of arms depicts the 400-year-old lime tree on the Sülzenberg hill, which is under nature protection. It has been the landmark of the village since time immemorial and was also used as a seal image in the seal of the village.
