The name of the city of Gera originally referred to the section of the Elstertal where the city is located today. This name probably came into being before the Migration Period and was adopted by the Slavs who had lived there since the 8th century. A settlement of the same name arose in the center of the Gera region in the 12th century. This received city rights in the early 13th century (before 1237). In the early days, Gera developed into one of the richest cities in Germany thanks to the textile industry. Since April 1945, Gera, like the rest of Thuringia, was occupied by the US Army and from July 2, 1945 by the Soviets. The city became part of the GDR in 1949. In 1952 Gera became the district capital. The cabaret “Fat nappies” directly under the town hall is well-known beyond the city limits. The Slavic settlement Köstritz was first mentioned as Kostricz on a seizure document in 1364. From 1804 the castle park in the Elster-Aue was designed in the style of an English landscape garden. In 1927, the Thuringian Ministry officially granted Bad Köstritz its town charter.
