history
In and around Atzendorf, some barrows were opened in the 19th and 20th centuries, the contents of which point to a prehistoric settlement in the area. These finds are kept in the State Office for Monument Preservation and Archeology Saxony-Anhalt in Halle (Saale) . The place name Azechendorpf is mentioned for the first time in the tithe index of the Hersfeld monastery that was created between 881 and 899 . In addition to Atzendorf, the neighboring villages of Geusa (as "Husuuua", pronounced Husuwa ) and Blösien (as "Blesina") can be found here.
As a so-called kitchen village, Atzendorf initially belonged to the royal palace of Merseburg , later to the diocese of Merseburg . Goods were grown here to supply the Merseburg cathedral chapter. The lost Atzendorf estate functioned as the ancestral seat of the noble family of the same name "von Atzendorf", which was first mentioned in 1435 with Conrad von Atzendorf. Until 1815 Atzendorf belonged to the Merseburg office of the high estates of Merseburg , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . The decisions of the Congress of Vienna the place came in 1815 to Prussia and in 1816 the county Merseburg in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony allocated.
The village was incorporated into Geusa on January 1, 1950 . With this and the neighboring villages of Blösien and Zscherben, it became part of the city of Merseburg in 2010.
church
The Romanesque hall church, made of limestone and sandstone, consecrated to St. Dionysius, dates from the 11th century and was extensively built over in the 17th century. The wooden barrel vault decorated with a starry sky is striking, as are the baroque wall paintings and the hexagonal baptismal font of great cultural and historical value.
The church was badly damaged during the Allied air raids in 1944/45, but it was rebuilt.
In the cemetery surrounding the church there is a tomb of the unknown soldier .
Regular events
The cultural life in Atzendorf is largely determined by the Geusa Pentecostal boys, who have their club headquarters in Atzendorf and who take part in the annual Whitsun parade as well as the summer, now regionally established pond festival and the barn festival held in autumn.
