history

War memorials in Almrich

Altenburg an der Saale was clearly mentioned in a document around 1140 in connection with the episcopal ministerial Heinrich de Aldenburc . The original place name "Altenburg" is derived from a castle that was abandoned in the 12th century. The popular name “Almrich” has become the official place name in modern times.

In 1352, the Landgrave of Thuringia and Margrave of Meissen, Friedrich III. , the Pforta monastery the blood jurisdiction and the courts over neck and hand over Flemmingen and Altenburg. This led to an increasing dependence of the two villages on the Cistercian abbey of Pforta. With regard to the sovereign sovereignty, both places initially belonged to the Eisenberg district office , which came to the Ernestines when Leipzig was partitioned in 1485 and to the Albertines when the Wittenberg surrender took place in 1547 . When the Eisenberg district office was ceded again to the Ernestines in the Naumburg Treaty in 1554, the two places were separated from the latter and placed under the Freyburg office of the Electorate of Saxony , from which they were, however, territorially separated. After the dissolution of the Pforta monastery, jurisdiction over the two places lay with the Albertine Office of Pforta , which from 1547 belonged to the Electorate of Saxony, from 1543 . After the Thirty Years War in 1650 only 116 inhabitants were counted on 32 farmsteads.

The decisions of the Congress of Vienna Altenburg (Almrich) came in 1815 to Prussia and in 1816 the county Naumburg in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony assigned to the part of the site to the 1944th

A Bismarck tower stands on the Burgscheidel to the southwest of the district . This 14 m high observation tower was built in 1902 from limestone and was soon supplemented by an excursion restaurant. After it was renamed Burgscheidelturm in 1945 , it was given the previous name Bismarck Tower again after the fall of the Wall in 1991. In 1992 the tower was refurbished and now a bridal suite , the so-called Bismarck Suite , was added to the neighboring hotel .

On July 1, 1950, the town was incorporated into Naumburg.

religion

Church of St. Georg in Almrich

In 1278 there was the first written mention of a church at the current location of Almrich. In 1592 the places Flemmingen and Altenburg (Almrich) were united to a parish . Until 1852 these belonged to the parish Eckartsberga . In 1739 the nave and the bell tower of the Altenburg church were rebuilt. After extensive repairs to the church in 1898 and 1997/98, the building is now a simple baroque church with two bells from 1786 and 1925. The cemetery on the outskirts was built in 1887.

education

In 1820/25 a school and sexton's house was built next to the church, which was expanded in 1854. The extension built between 1880 and 1885 on the opposite side of the street was supplemented in 1902 by another new building in the rear area of ​​the schoolyard.

To improve the teaching conditions, a replacement building was built on the Schweinsbrücke outside the actual district in the 1970s. This was opened in 1977 under the name Wilhelm Pieck , its name was changed to "Albert Schweitzer School" in the early 1990s. Since then, both primary and secondary school students have been taught in the building.

traffic

The Via Regia used to run through the village , the course of which has been taken up by federal highway 87 in this section in modern times .

After the construction of the Saale bridge in 1894/95, the time to cross the Saale by ferry or ford ended. After the demolition of this structure by the Wehrmacht on April 11, 1945, the new building was not replaced until 1947. It had to be completely renovated in 1965, but was damaged again in the winter of 1962/63 by heavy ice drift. The wooden bridge built in 1964 had to be demolished again in 1976 because it was in disrepair. However, the new bridge was only in use for 30 years. In 2005 a new construction of the Saale Bridge was opened to traffic, which on July 21, 2006 was named "Bridge of the Future".
