Ohrdruf near Gotha is a small town on the northern edge of the Thüringer Wald. The town of Gotha in Thüringen is known above all for Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who felt a strong connection to Gotha, even though he lived in Weimar. Worth seeing are the old town of Gotha or, in Ohrdruf, the Schloss Ehrenstein and the town wall. Anyone wanting a somewhat deeper look into the towns of Ohrdruf/Gotha can take part in one of the interesting city tours. Gotha itself and the surrounding Thüringen countryside are rich in scenically and architecturally impressive excursion destinations.

In the late Middle Ages, Ohrdruf first came under the rule of the Wettins, and in 1348 it received town charter rights. Later it fell into the possession of the House of Sachsen-Weimar as a whole, and in 1657 into the sole possession of the Sachsen-Gotha line.

Near Ohrdruf was the Zwangsarbeitslager Ohrdruf, a satellite camp of the Buchenwald concentration camp, located on the grounds of a military training area built in 1908. In the town area today, a memorial stone and a stele commemorate the victims of the camp. During GDR times, the Soviet armed forces initially, and later also the GDR's NVA, used the area again as a military training ground. Since the beginning of December 2013, the site has only been a garrison training area for the Friedenstein-Kaserne in Gotha.

In Ohrdruf you'll find the rusk manufacturer Brandt as well as a factory of the confectionery maker Storck and a fulfilment centre of Hermes Fulfilment.
