Mechterstädt is a village and a former municipality in the district of Gotha in Thuringia, Germany. Since 1 December 2011, it is part of the municipality Hörsel

Hörsel is a municipality in the district of Gotha, in Thuringia, Germany. It was named after the river Hörsel, that flows through the municipality. It was formed on 1 December 2011 by the merger of the former municipalities Aspach, Ebenheim, Fröttstädt, Hörselgau, Laucha, Mechterstädt, Metebach, Teutleben, Trügleben and Weingarten.

The current population of Mechterstadt is about 1,150, very little information about it is available, but the photographs of the area are remarkable.

The father of Carl Friedrich Barnhard Kleinsteuber (patriarch of the Preston Waterloo Kleinsteubers) and represented in this group by Heather Kleinsteuber, was Johannes Kleinsteuber, born in Mechterstädt in 1791. And his father was Johann Christoph Kleinsteuber, born in Schwarzhausen, probably around 1750. Another child of Johann Christoph was Johann Lorenz, leading us to believe a close connection to the Actinolite Kleinsteubers and Johann Henry Lorenz Kleinsteuber (my 2nd great grandfather).

Hello is this site still active - I am a descendent of the Dubner family and I am interested to see if any of the relatives are still in the Mechterstadt area.
