Gehren, District in Ilmenau, Germany
Located in the Ilm-Kreis district of Thuringia, Gehren sits at an elevation of 475 meters between the Thuringian Forest and Thuringian Slate Mountains.
The settlement received its town privileges in 1855 and functioned as the capital of Amt Gehren in Schwarzburg-Sondershausen state until 1920.
The St. Michael Church in Gehren was the workplace of organist Johann Michael Bach, whose daughter Maria Barbara became Johann Sebastian Bach's first wife.
The district maintains a Forest Education Center that serves as the central training facility for the Thuringian State Forestry Administration.
The castle of Gehren, transformed into a hunting lodge by the Schwarzburg counts in 1464, burned down in 1936, leaving only remnants of its outer walls.
