The city name Gera is the designation of the original section of the Elstertal, where the city is located today. It is assumed that the name Gera originated before the Migration Period. Slavs had lived there since the 8th century and had retained the name. 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). Gera was largely destroyed by fire in 1686 and 1780. Gera was one of the centers of the popular uprising on June 17, 1953, which was crushed by the declaration of a state of emergency with the use of Soviet tanks. The Gera theater venues are the Big House, the Stage at the Park, the Small Theater in the Center and the TheaterFABRIK Gera. Köstritz was first mentioned as Kostricz, a Slavic settlement, on a deed of attachment in 1364. A castle probably existed on the Kirchberg since the middle of the 13th century. In 1927, the Thuringian Ministry officially granted Bad Köstritz its town charter.
