Location of Sandersleben (Anhalt) in Arnstein

Sandersleben (Anhalt) is a district of the town of Arnstein in the district of Mansfeld-Südharz in Saxony-Anhalt , Germany .

geography

Sandersleben is located in the hilly landscape of the eastern Harz foreland in the Wippertal. Sandersleben is crossed by the Magdeburg – Erfurt and Halle (Saale) –Halberstadt railway lines . Around Sandersleben there are some desolations , as well as several smaller heaps , especially in the direction of Welfesholz , which point to the mining activities carried out here.

history

The settlement history of the Sandersleben Wippertal goes back to the Neolithic Age . The origins of the village of Sandersleben lie in a solitary farm of angling and warning from the 4th century. The name is made up of the names Scandahari and laiba, which means something like heritage. The place was first mentioned in 1046 in a document from the German King Heinrich III. mentioned, a church can be proven from 1293. Sandersleben has had city rights since the beginning of the 14th century, and documents are documented for 1340. By 1386 at the latest, the city had a mayor, a council and its own city seal. It experienced an economic boom in the 14th and 15th centuries, which was shaped, among other things, by mining. Close to the city, on the edge of the Mansfeld mountain district , there is evidence of copper mining from 1438, which was intensified in the 17th and 18th centuries.

In addition to mining, the economic activities also included trade, commerce, agriculture and beer brewing and were also shaped by the Jewish population group of Sandersleben, which grew steadily since the end of the 17th century. The Jews, who already made up ten percent of the population of Sandersleben in 1794, received a synagogue with the help of the ducal in 1829/30 in addition to a cemetery and their own school .

The industrialization was the construction of a sugar factory in 1850 and the Ludwig lodge initiated in 1861/62. The copper mining was supplemented by the extraction of lignite .

As a junction of the Halle – Halberstadt and Güsten – Sangerhausen railway lines, which were completed in the 1870s , Sandersleben, with the Sandersleben train station, also gained supra-regional importance for traffic. Sandersleben was also part of the cannon railway , namely the Berlin-Blankenheim railway . In 1897 the Catholic parish founded two years earlier built its own church and school. The construction of a children's home in 1919/20 once again enriched the city's social infrastructure.

Sandersleben is located in the historical area of Anhalt . From 1863 it was part of the Principality of Anhalt-Dessau , but from 1863 it was in the district of Bernburg in the Principality of Anhalt , which became the Free State of Anhalt in 1918 . The second district reform in the GDR in 1952 made the place part of the Hettstedt district in the Halle district , which in 1990 became the Hettstedt district.

On April 11, 1945 there was a bombing raid on the place, which claimed 39 victims.

After the Second World War , a land reform took place in 1945 . A first LPG was founded in 1950. In the GDR era, several agricultural engineering companies and a wholesale company continued to emerge . As in many cities in the area, the political turnaround in 1990 was accompanied by a sharp rise in unemployment and significant emigration. With the wholesale company, the agricultural engineering plant construction and the Ludwigshütte, the economic pillars of the city ceased operations. The population fell by more than 30 percent from almost 3000 to 2000 now, while the number of commercial establishments grew again to around 100. The "Sanderslebener Zeitung", which was re-founded in 1995, has meanwhile achieved regional importance.

Kuckenburg was located between Sandersleben and Wiederstedt, about one kilometer west of the southern outskirts of Sandersleben . In 1852 the square was still referred to as the Kuckenburg ruin on the measuring table. The castle ruins fell victim to a quarry.

During the first district reform in Saxony-Anhalt , the district of Hettstedt was split up on July 1, 1994, with Sandersleben becoming part of the district of Mansfelder Land , which became part of the district of Mansfeld-Südharz in 2007. After a lengthy legal dispute, since June 30, 2007, Sandersleben has been allowed to use the addition "Anhalt" again. On January 1, 2010, the previously independent town of Sandersleben (Anhalt) and the communities of Alterode , Bräunrode , Greifenhagen , Harkerode , Quenstedt , Stangerode , Sylda , Ulzigerode and Welbsleben merged to form the new town of Arnstein. The administrative community Wipper-Eine , to which Sandersleben (Anhalt) belonged, was dissolved.

Attractions

Houses of worship

St. Mary

Sandersleben has two churches. The Evangelical Church of St. Mary is on the market. It was renovated by spring 2018. In the interior, a chapel has been created for the community and, separated by a movable glass wall, another room for general, also worldly, uses.

Sandersleben also owns the Catholic Church of the Holy Cross. The attached rectory has already gone into private ownership. The constant shrinking of the Catholic community meant that the entire church including the property has now become private property. The church itself was profaned. The Catholic parish was traditionally and currently looked after by the parish of St. Michael zu Aschersleben .

In the past, there was another church on the grounds of Schloss zu Sandersleben, which was probably consecrated to the Apostles Peter and Paul, but can only be traced in small remains to a residential building.

There was also once a synagogue in Sandersleben, which was the target of a pogrom and also no longer exists.
