History
From 1680 to 1867, Möhra was located in the Duchy of Sachsen-Meiningen. From 1867 until 1871, the Duchy was incorporated into the short-lived North German Confederation.
From 1871 until the abolition of the monarchy by the German revolution of 1918-19, the Duchy was part of the German Empire. At least by 1900 (probably around 1868), there were 4 administrative districts within the Duchy: Hildurghausen, Meiningen, Saafeld, and Sonneberg. Möhra was located in the Meiningen district (Landkreis Meiningen).
In 1920, during the WWI, the Free State of Thürungia was created. The formal district division in 1921 yielded Möhra, Eisenach, Meiningen, and Schmalkden. Möhra was in Meiningen.
After 1949s creation of the GDR, the first administrative reform created a district Bad Salzungen (Kreis Bad Salzungen), which existed from 1950 until the collapse of the GDR in 1994. As Möhra was in the broader Bad Salzungen urban area, it was a part of the Bad Salzungen district (kreis Bad Salzungen).
The state of Thürungia existed from 1950 until 1952, when the district Suhl (Bezirk Suhl) was created out of largely former territory of Thürungia.
Suhl encompassed the Bad Salzungen district (Kreis Bad Salzungen) until the reunion of the Germany recreated Thürungia from 1990-1994. In 1994, Bad Salzungen ceased to be an administrative district (a kreis/landkreis), and has since become a district-town (kreisstadt) within the district of Wartburg (Wartburgkreis)
Prior to November 1994, Möhra was its own municipiality in the district of Wartburg (Wartburgkreis). On November 4, 1994, Möhra merged with other municipialities Moorgrund and Kupfersuhl to create the municipiality of Moorgrund. On December 1st, 2020, Moorgrund was incorporated into the district-town of Bad Salzungen.
