Nohra, Administrative district in Weimarer Land, Germany
Nohra is a village district in Grammetal municipality, situated in the Weimarer Land region of Thuringia. The settlement spreads across rolling terrain and is surrounded by farmland and forests that shape the local landscape.
The settlement was first documented in 1217 when it fell under Erfurt's control during regional conflicts. Over the following centuries, the village remained an important stopping point along local trade routes and maintained its agricultural character.
Archaeological excavations between 1911 and 1936 uncovered a Bronze Age burial ground containing 44 graves with artifacts indicating early settlement patterns.
The village is accessible via local roads and has basic facilities for visitors passing through. Late spring through early autumn offers pleasant weather for exploring the surrounding countryside and walking routes.
Martin Luther passed through Nohra in 1521 on his journey to Worms, marking his first stop beyond electoral territory. This passage of the Reformation leader remains part of the village's historical identity.
