Zuckelhausen , about seven kilometers southeast of the center of Leipzig , is a district of Leipzig. It was an independent municipality until it was merged with Holzhausen in 1934.

history

Zuckelhausen was built in the 6./7. Century in the Sorbian-populated area as Rundangerdorf and was settled in the German East settlement by German immigrants. In the 12th century the church, which is still preserved today, was built as a Romanesque hall building. The first written mention of the village under the name "Zschukolosa" comes from the year 1335. The place name could be from sorb. "People who clear" or Slavs . "Dry reut", "arid Lehde" are derived.

In 1377 Zuckelhausen came into the possession of the Augustinian Canons' Monastery ( Thomaskloster ), under whose administration it stood until the Reformation and the associated secularization . Duke Moritz donated it to Leipzig University in 1544 . This made Zuckelhausen one of the so-called university villages . In the following years, various university employees acquired Zuckelhäuser manors. The university exercised jurisdiction and received benefits in kind and compulsory labor .

During the Thirty Years War the village was looted and set on fire several times. In the Battle of Nations (1813), the place played an important role in the retreat of the French troops.

In 1838 the age of local self-government began in Zuckelhausen with the Saxon rural community order . At that time, about 150 people lived in the village. At the beginning of 1844, the benefits in kind for the university ended. Until 1856, Zuckelhausen was part of the electoral or royal Saxon district office of Leipzig . From 1856 the place belonged to the court office Leipzig I and from 1875 to the administrative authority of Leipzig . The construction of the Leipzig – Geithain railway line and the opening of the Holzhausen-Zuckelhausen train station (now Leipzig-Holzhausen ) in 1887 generated a considerable surge in growth. As a result of the settlement of numerous businesses, especially gardeners, the number of residents tripled from around 340 to more than 1200 people.

On December 21, 1928, the municipal councils of Zuckelhausen and Holzhausen decided to unite the municipalities. A vote by residents in February 1929 supported this project. On April 1, 1934, the two communities united under the name Holzhausen. With Holzhausen, Zuckelhausen was incorporated into Leipzig on January 1, 1999.
