Location of Altenroda in Bad Bibra

Altenroda is a district of the town of Bad Bibra in the Burgenland district in Saxony-Anhalt .

Geographical location

Altenroda extends in two valleys that pull down to the Dissau valley and on a flat riedel.

In addition to the main town Altenroda, the districts of Wippach and Birkigt belonged to the former municipality of Altenrode .

history

Altenrode was first mentioned on 30 June 1177, as Bishop Ulrich of Halberstadt the monastery Roßleben possession of 1½ hooves in Alden Rothe confirmed, previously the bishop of Count Ludwig von Wippra had been given. In 1217, Bishop Engelhard von Naumburg gave the knight Albert von Grobitz 2 pounds of income per “custodia castri nostri Sconenberg”. The village and the jurisdiction belonged to the owner of the Nebra manor , which was in turn subordinate to the Saxon office of Freyburg . In the 16th century the place was subject to the von Nißmitz family.

In the official inheritance book of 1525, 20 possessed men are recorded for Altenroda.

When the Saxon office of Freyburg had to be ceded to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815, Altenroda came to the Prussian administrative district of Merseburg .

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Wippach was incorporated.

Altenroda has been part of Bad Bibra since July 1, 2009. The last mayor was Bernd Opel.

Village church

Village church in Altenroda

The church is essentially a building by pastor Heinrich Georg Zineke from 1718 and its internal arrangement is an instructive example of those efforts aimed at redesigning the Protestant preaching church . Pastor Zineke seems to have had some knowledge of the building trade, because under his leadership the church in Groß-Wangen was bought in 1711-12 , that in Wippach in 1715 and in 1718 the local "heavy and dangerous building" was simply left to his architecture and management even if I were not asked for the same without his persuasion, everything should be completed ”.

The 3/8 closed choir with two-part tracery windows and the square west tower were taken over from an older Gothic church , which has since become seriously dilapidated. Between the two, Zincke moored a ship measuring 10.30 m × 10.75 m, which is kept very simple on the outside. The windows are double-rowed, rectangular below and octagonal above. The southern door has an openwork round gable top , filled with roses and a coat of arms of the Flemming family , above it a slightly protruding and gabled risalit . Above the simpler north door there is a writing plate with a long, illegible text. Inside the old choir is by the Arch -length pulpit altar blocked. A very happy perspective of the altar niche is gained by the fact that four columns are set up in a plan of a 3/8 end and connected by architraves . In the middle stands the risen Christ in front of an opening with a black hanging, which is probably intended to represent the grave. On the sides lie somewhat coquettish angels with a cross and a chalice. The lower galleries rest on stone columns with ionizing capitals and draw together in a semicircle in front of the organ , which is set up in the tower. The parapets are stuccoed in large fields with thick acanthranks . A floating angel, possibly the former baptismal angel, is attached in front of the organ. The upper gallery is set back. The central room image is closed by the mirror ceiling covered in an oval, which is divided into geometric fields and also slightly stuccoed.

The font is plaited with 4 rolled cartouches and laurel branches. According to the inscription on the baptismal font, it is a donation from Erdmann Neumeister , a pastor and scholarcha in Hamburg . The organ with acanthrank cheeks was built by Herold in Apolda in 1695 . 2 brass chandeliers with knots and shell-like shells are donations by Hans Rammelt Scheffer from the year 1705. There are several simple chandeliers on the walls .
