Village church

Azmannsdorf is a district of the independent city of Erfurt in Thuringia . The village with around 340 inhabitants is located east of Erfurt in the Linderbach valley .

geography

Azmannsdorf is located about six kilometers east of Erfurt city center in the Thuringian Basin , a plain that is used intensively for agriculture. In a south-north direction, the Linderbach flows past the place at an altitude of about 200 meters. Azmannsdorf is separated from Erfurt city center by the 226 meter high Ringelberg . Azmannsdorf is also separated from the neighboring village of Vieselbach to the east by a low range of hills. Other neighboring villages are Kerspleben in the north and Linderbach in the south.

history

Azmannsdorf can look back on a long history. The area is one of the oldest settlement areas in the region. Finds were made from the Bronze Age .

middle Ages

The village was first mentioned on May 18, 876 with the name Atamannestorp . The oldest surviving documentary mention is recorded in 780/802 in the Fulda document book (no. 481), when a certain Rohinc in Atamannestorf donated goods to the Fulda monastery. Azmannsdorf was a Mainz- Archbishop's fiefdom. From the 14th century the cultivation of carried woad . As a semi-finished product, this was brought to Erfurt as a woad ball .

Early modern age

The Thirty Years War and the plague halved the population. In 1813 the nervous fever (probably typhus ) was rampant in Azmannsdorf , as was the case with the Prussian soldiers in the siege ring around the French-occupied Erfurt. In 1706 the place became the seat of an official administration in the Erfurt state . This office included the villages of Azmannsdorf, Hochstedt , Hopfgarten , Kerspleben , Kleinmölsen , Linderbach , Mönchenholzhausen , Niederzimmer , Ollendorf , Ottstedt am Berge , Töttleben , Udestedt , Ulla , Utzberg and Vieselbach . Most of it emerged from the former county of Vieselbach , which the city council of Erfurt bought in 1343. The places, like the city itself, were part of Kurmainz .

19th and 20th centuries

After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach received the office ; thus the official seat was transferred to the neighboring town of Vieselbach. In 1920 the village became part of the newly founded state of Thuringia , while the city of Erfurt remained part of Prussia . In 1922 Azmannsdorf became part of the newly founded district of Weimar .

The US occupation was replaced by the Red Army at the end of June 1945 . The place was thus incorporated into the Soviet occupation zone , later the GDR, and it went through all of the corresponding upheavals. In agriculture, these included expropriations, land divisions to new farmers and, in the 1950s, the collectivization of agriculture . The territorial and municipal reform of the GDR resulted in the creation of the Erfurt district and a redesign of the districts; now Azmannsdorf came to the district of Erfurt-Land . In 1974 it was merged with the southern neighboring town to form the municipality of Linderbach-Azmannsdorf , which was incorporated into Erfurt on July 1, 1994.

After the incorporation in Erfurt - in contrast to most of the neighboring towns - suburbanization effects were largely absent, so that the number of inhabitants hardly increased and Azmannsdorf has retained a rather original settlement character.

Culture and sights

The cultural and sporting life in the village is shaped by the activities of the home club, the sports club and the local volunteer fire department.

The cultural center of Azmannsdorf is the baroque choir tower church St. Cyriakus , built in 1769 , which was restored from 2004 to 2015 with the help of the German Foundation for Monument Protection . At the church, the cemetery is with some historical graves and a war memorial for the fallen soldiers of World War I as a Waidsteins (one large, one millstone similar stone, once with the Waidmühlen in the woad was crushed to Waidmus).

A windmill was in operation as a grinding mill for grain until 1969. The last traces of the building are still there. Another cultural monument is the manor in the center of the village, which has been refurbished in accordance with the requirements of a monument.

Economy and Infrastructure

Azmannsdorf remained an agricultural place for a long time. Today it has the character of a suburb . The Vieselbach freight traffic center is one of the largest logistics centers in Thuringia, directly southeast of the town. In the north-east there is a large substation and in the north-west near the town of Kerspleben there is also a larger industrial area. Azmannsdorf is located directly on the Thuringian Railway , opened in 1846 , which will be expanded until 2015 and also includes the new Erfurt – Leipzig / Halle line as far as Azmannsdorf . In the course of the expansion, noise barriers were installed in the local area and the embankment was fundamentally renovated. Nevertheless, Azmannsdorf does not have its own stopping point on the route. The next train station is Vieselbach , about 2.5 kilometers east. The place is connected to the bus network of the Erfurt transport company and is connected to the city center.

Roads connect Azmannsdorf with Linderbach in the south and Vieselbach in the east. A dirt road leads to Kerspleben in the north, as well as to Ringelberg in the west. The Thuringian City Chain Cycle Route runs through the village from Erfurt in the west to Weimar in the east.
