Geographical location

The Borna office was located in the southwest of the Leipzig district south of the city of Leipzig on the border with Altenburger Land . The core area was traversed by the Pleiße , Wyhra and Eula . The area belongs to the Leipzig lowland bay . Numerous places in the north of the office were demolished by open-cast lignite mines, which are part of the Northwest Saxon Revier . As a result, the Leipziger Neuseenland was created , which occupies a large part of the northern administrative area. The town of Ruppersdorf, devastated by the Ruppersdorf opencast mine ( Meuselwitz-Altenburger lignite district ), was located in the southwestern tip of the office, which protruded into the Altenburger Land. The southern part of the core area is taken by the Kohrener Land . The office had several far-off exclaves southeast of Zeitz ( Kaynaische Dörfer , Suxdorf, Hohenkirchen), southeast of Gera ( Ziegenhierdsches Ländchen ) and on the Zwickauer Mulde southwest of Penig .

The majority of the former Borna district is now in the Free State of Saxony and belongs to the Leipzig district . Langenleuba-Oberhain belongs to the district of central Saxony and the exclave on the Zwickauer Mulde near Wolkenburg-Kaufungen to the district of Zwickau . In Thuringia are the places Bocka (Saxon part), Bosengröba , the corridor of Ruppersdorf , the exclave of the "Kaynaic villages" with Naundorf , Tanna , Wernsdorf , Braunshain ( district of Altenburger Land ) and the exclaves of the Ziegenhierdschen Ländchen (city of Gera and district Greiz ). In the extreme south of Saxony-Anhalt are the exclaves Suxdorf , Penkwitz and Hohenkirchen , which belong to the Burgenland district .

history

The Borna office was mostly in the Pleißenland and had been in margravial possession since 1210. In the southern part around Frohburg, the Burgraves of Altenburg owned property in the 12th and 13th centuries .

After the division of Leipzig in 1485, the Borna office belonged to the Ernestine line of the Wettins . Since the defeat of the Ernestines in the Schmalkaldic War in 1547, it has been in the possession of the Albertines . Until then, part of the Kohrener Land belonged to it. H. the places Frohburg , Benndorf , Eschefeld , Greifenhain , Kohren, Sahlis , Gnandstein , Altmörbitz and Bocka (Saxon part) for care Altenburg , only then were they included in the Borna office.

From 1698 to 1722 it was pledged to the neighboring duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg . The administration of justice was closely connected with the Pegau office.

In 1815 came through the decisions of the Congress of Vienna the places Regis, Wyke and Blumroda of the former to the Bishopric of Zeitz associated Office Breitingen to the Official Borna. On the other hand, the enclaves of the Kaynaic villages , Suxdorf and Hohenkirchen located between the Zeitz monastery area (later the Zeitz administrative office ) and the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg ( Altenburg district office ) were assigned to Prussia and incorporated into the Zeitz district in the province of Saxony . The exclave places of the Ziegenhierdschen Ländchen in the territory of the Reussian principalities were spared an assignment to Prussia through the intervention of their noble owner. However, in 1832 they were incorporated into the royal Saxon office of Zwickau . Furthermore, in 1815 the exclave Flößberg / Beucha / Trebishain, which had previously belonged to the Grimma estate, was incorporated into the Borna office. The Borna office existed until the municipal and patrimonial jurisdiction was nationalized in 1856. The tasks of the dissolved office were taken over by the Borna and Frohburg royal courts . The exclave around Wolkenburg and Kaufungen came to the district court of Penig .

Exclave of the rule of Wolkenburg

The two main places of the rule of Wolkenburg , Kaufungen and Wolkenburg were first mentioned in a document in 1226 and 1241 respectively. While in Wolkenburg already at this time a castle was existed in Kaufungen a manor . In the 15th century, the Kaufungen manor and the Wolkenburg castle belonged to Kunz von Kauffungen , who achieved fateful fame as a result of the Altenburg prince robbery in 1455. After his capture and beheading, his possessions were confiscated. Since then the rule of Wolkenburg has belonged to the Margraves of Meißen from the House of Wettin . Located in the midst of the Schönburg rulership , the places of the Wolkenburg rulership were subordinate to the Borna district as an exclave until the 19th century. The rulership of Wolkenburg included the towns of Wolkenburg (with the castle and the Biensdorf desert), Kaufungen (with the manor, Mühlwiese and Sorge), Dürrengerbisdorf (proportionately), Herrnsdorf, Uhlsdorf, Schlagwitz, a proportion of Franconia and the exclave of Jahnshorn.

The ownership of the neighboring castles of Wolkenburg and Kaufungen has been under joint court administration since 1766. The manorial rule was exercised during this time by the Lords of Einsiedel . Count Friedrich Karl von Einsiedel, the son of the diplomat Karl von Einsiedel , ceded the jurisdiction of the Wolkenburg manor with Kaufungen to the state in 1851. As a result, the places of the Wolkenburg lordship came to the royal Saxon court of Limbach in 1851 and to the Penig court office in 1856 , which was incorporated into the Rochlitz district administration in 1875 .

Exclaves Kaynaic villages, Suxdorf, Hohenkirchen

The origins of the five Kaynaic villages Tanna, Wernsdorf, Naundorf, Penkwitz and Kleinbraunshain lay in their belonging to the Kayna manor , which is why the name " Kaynaic villages " became established. The five villages later belonged to the Kleinbraunshain manor west of Altenburg . In addition to Kleinbraunshain, his property included the villages of Tanna, Wernsdorf and Naundorf, as well as Penkwitz near Meuselwitz , as contiguous territory . This area lay between the Zeitz monastery area and the Altenburg office belonging to the Duchy of Saxony- Altenburg and was administered by the Borna office of the Electorate of Saxony.

Through the treaties of the Congress of Vienna , the Kaynaic villages as well as the neighboring exclaves Suxdorf and Hohenkirchen and the Zeitz office were ceded to the newly formed Prussian province of Saxony in 1815. They were in 1816 the county Zeitz in the administrative district of Merseburg allocated to the province of Saxony, ended whereby the Exklavenstatus.

Exclave Ziegenhierdsches Ländchen

Through the Naumburg Treaty in 1554, the nobles of Ende were with the manor Liebschwitz (southeast of Gera , also called " Ziegenhierdsches Ländchen ") and the associated villages Liebschwitz , Grobsdorf , Lietzsch , Loitzsch , Niebra , Pösneck and Taubenpreskel as well as the Saxon parts the villages Hilbersdorf , Lengefeld and Rückersdorf enfeoffed. The places were thus enclaves of the Electorate of Saxony through a securitization of the Diocese of Naumburg , which were under the administration of the Borna Office until 1832, then under the administration of the Zwickau Office . They remained in Saxony as exclaves until 1928 and only came to Thuringia through an exchange of territory.
