Church in Battaune

Battaune is a district of the municipality Doberschütz in the district of North Saxony in Saxony . It is located about 40 kilometers northeast of Leipzig in the Dübener Heide .

Origin of name

The name Battaune is of Sorbian origin. It is derived from "Bátoun", where bátounovice means little father. In 1346 Battaune was mentioned in a document as "Bathun". A little later, in 1378, the name had changed to "Battun", which suggests a Sorbian settlement. Further sound conversions ultimately led to the current name of the village.

history

Battaune as a noble residence

The Sorbian settlement of Battaune was followed by that of the Teutons and Franks , so that the village became a noble estate. In 1403 the village Bathun along with two was outworks of a Fred Eriche of Waryn ( Friedrich von True ) to the Council of the City Eilenburg sold. Translated into more recent German it reads in an old town book of Eilenburg: "They bought the village with all its accessories as well as the two outbuildings in it ... and with all rights, so the village had from old times." The noble family von Wahren , initially at home near Leipzig, also had various possessions in the Eilenburg area, for example in Wedelwitz . It also served the Eilenburg Count as a knightly vassal . Heinrich I was canon in Merseburg (1217–1235) and is the first known Wahrener. One of his descendants was bishop of Merseburg from 1244 to 1263 . As a knightly vassal of the Count of Eilenburg and in 1315 as castellanus (presumably mayor ) was a Heinrich III. known. The rich wall paintings in the Battauner church, which were created around 1240, point to the seat of the Wahreners in Battaune at that time. However, it is not clear whether they were at home in Battaune from 1200 to 1240. In 1349/50, according to the documents, a Fritzke (also Fritzkanen) and a Konrad von Waryn were enfeoffed with an estate by the Eilenburg Count, as was a Konrad III. around 1400. It is possible that they are the Frederiche and Kunrad mentioned in the sales contract or at least close relatives of them. It has been proven that the True Knights were often guests of the Ileburger Count. Documented court records also mention the Wahreners 1215, 1220 and later; For example, in 1394 a Friedrich von Wahren as a witness at a trial in Leipzig, in 1400 a Conrad von Waryn in a dispute between the Count of Neuchâtel and the Margrave of Meissen in Weissenfels . Whether they are related to Konrad and Friedrich, who existed in Battaune in 1400, has not been proven, but can only be assumed, since many representatives in the extensive Wahrener family had the same name. Presumably the village of Battaune and the manor were sold because, what is certain, a branch of the True were impoverished. In addition, in 1453 a house of Wahren was exempted from providing a horse for the war for financial reasons. Other parts of the Wahren family acquired properties in other areas of Germany. However, they were able to maintain their position longest in the Eilenburg area on the Berg manor and in Wedelwitz. Grave inscriptions from the 16th century in the mountain church of St. Mary still bear witness to this today .

Battaune as a council village

After Battauna was sold in 1403, the aristocratic seat became a council village. Thus it was now subordinate to the owning citizens of Eilenburg and no longer to a single nobleman. Therefore, from now on the Battauners had to turn to the council of Eilenburg in the event of major disputes or necessary repairs to the church. In 1419 the Margrave Friedrich the disputed confirmed the purchase and the acquired rights. This made the knightly fiefdom a freehold property that belonged to the city, which safely leased it as a farm or manor. The fact that in 1802 the initials of the "RvE", which presumably means Council of Eilenburg, appeared on the weather vane of the Battaun church roof can now be explained.

Battaune belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Eilenburg until 1815 . In 1815 after the Congress of Vienna , large parts of the Kingdom of Saxony became the Province of Saxony , including Battaune, to the Kingdom of Prussia , after Saxony had fought and lost on Napoleon's side . Linked to this was the introduction of the Prussian reforms, such as the abolition of hereditary interest . As a result, Battaune became partly independent of the council of Eilenburg and, if necessary, sued the city in the Prussian courts of the province of Saxony. In 1816 Battaune was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony, to which it belonged until 1952.

1832–1852 was the time of the separation , whereby, among other changes, the abolition of the Flurzwangen and the three-field economy mainly caused disputes, as arable land had to be merged and the entire property had to be re-measured, partially exchanged or settled by compensation . Ultimately, the separation probably led to the dissolution of the agricultural manor , as in 1866 there was talk of the residual property owners Haupt and Stier. Between 1845 and 1856 an administrative reform took place in the province of Saxony, which led to the loss of the status of a council village. Thus Battaune became independent and the influence of the Eilenburger Vorwerk in Battaune was reduced. It is still clear today that Battaune was a council village, as the village is surrounded by the city forest, also known as council forest, which is owned by the city of Eilenburg.

Battaune in modern times

In the course of the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, Battaune was attached to the Eilenburg district in the Leipzig district , which was added to the Delitzsch district in 1994 . Battaune merged on January 1, 1996 with the municipalities of Doberschütz, Mörtitz, Paschwitz, Sprotta and Wöllnau to form the municipality of Doberschütz.
