history
The Keuschberg district is the oldest part of the city. On July 5, 993 the place was by Otto III. first mentioned in a document. Vesta , a royal court fortified with ramparts , was first mentioned in 1197 in the Naumburg document book. For the other districts of Bad Dürrenberg, the following dates have been passed down for the first time: Kirchdorf: 1248, Goddula (later: Klein- und Groß-Goddula): 1263, Lennewitz: 1267, Balditz: 1317 and Fahrenorf 1320. At this time, a ferry that gave it its name must already be in Ferry village existed. The registry office, the former salt office , is the oldest stone building in the city and is proven to be a royal property in documents from the high Middle Ages .
The area of the present-day town of Bad Dürrenberg belonged to the Merseburg Monastery until 1815 , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the Secondogenitur Principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . While Dürrenberg, Balditz, Keuschberg, Vesta, Groß- and Klein-Goddula belonged to the Office Lützen , Kirchdorf, Fahi village, Lennewitz, Ostrau, Porbitz and Poppitz were under the administration of the Office Merseburg . In 1741, the electoral Saxon miner Johann Gottfried Borlach attempted drilling near Keuschberg. The drilling was not successful until 1763, since then there has been a constant brine flow with 10.63% salinity. A massive brine conveyor tower was built above this first brine fountain in 1765; the Borlach tower named after him is located in the immediate vicinity of the graduation towers. The museum in the tower pays tribute to Borlach's achievements and documents the history of salt production, the processing of Dürrenberg brine into evaporated table salt and the development of Dürrenberg into a bathing resort.
As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the twelve places of today's Bad Dürrenberg came to Prussia in 1815. They were the 1816 Merseburg in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony allocated. In the 19th century, the following places were mentioned, which arose from several places: Kirchfahrungorf (from Kirchdorf and Fahrungorf), Porbitz-Poppitz (from Porbitz and Poppitz), Goddula (from Groß-Goddula, Klein-Goddula and Vesta).
The place was to be connected to the railway network for the first time in 1826 with the construction of a horse-drawn railway from Leipzig to Dürrenberg; however, the plans were discarded. In 1836 the 4.5 km long Tollwitz-Dürrenberger Railway with a track width of 585 mm and the first 133 m long railway tunnel in Germany were built. On March 22, 1856, the railway line from Leipzig to Corbetha via Barneck, Markranstädt, Kötschau and Dürrenberg began operations.
The first bathhouse was built in 1845 and the first bridge across the Saale was built in 1920. In the same year, the Rössen tram route was extended in stages via Daspig and Spergau to Fährdorf, and then six years later to Bad Dürrenberg station.
The "Großgemeinde Dürrenberg" was created on July 1, 1930 through the merger of the rural communities Dürrenberg, Keuschberg, Porbitz-Poppitz, Ostrau, Lennewitz and Balditz. Since being awarded the title “ Bad ” in 1935, Dürrenberg has called itself Bad Dürrenberg. During the Second World War , foreign forced laborers were employed by companies in Bad Dürrenberg. On November 30, 1946, the municipality of Bad Dürrenberg was granted town charter. The proclamation was made by District President Otto Gotsche in a solemn meeting of the city council on January 6, 1946. The certificate was handed over to Mayor Paul Drese. On April 15, 1947, the city was awarded its coat of arms, which is still in use today. On July 1, 1950, the villages of Kirchfrahtorf and Goddula-Vesta were incorporated into Bad Dürrenberg. The administrative community Bad Dürrenberg with Oebles-Schlechtewitz , Tollwitz and since 1998 Spergau and since 2006 Nempitz was formed in 1994.
The bathing business in Bad Dürrenberg was discontinued in 1964, the production of evaporated salt a year earlier. A new brine well was put into operation on June 24, 2000. In 2003, the former drinking hall in the spa gardens was renovated and then reopened for use with brine. In 2008 the city was awarded the title “State Recognized Resort”.
