geography
Bennstedt is about ten kilometers west of Halle (Saale) and about nine kilometers east of Seeburg .
history
Already around the year 800 people settled in the Bennstedt area. In a register of the tithe of the Hersfeld monastery ( Hersfeld tithe list ), which was created between 881 and 899, Bennstedt is mentioned for the first time in a document as a place subject to compulsory tithing, Banningestät im Friesenfeld .
Was Bennstedt seat of the same name Office Bennstedt in the district Schraplau the county of Mansfeld . To this office belonging estates Bennstedt and Neuvitzenburg (today Eisdorf belonging) to the patrimonial jurisdiction .
Owner of the office and manor Bennstedt was after the Mansfeld counts (from 1346) Hans von Trotha (1496–1555 / 1556), known as Hans the Younger and founder of the Bennstedt line of the Trotha noble family, who was enfeoffed on May 1, 1522 with Bennstedt. In 1657 Wolf Thilo von Trotha (1620–1683) sold the village of Bennstedt to the Marshals von Bieberstein . After the fire disaster of April 20, 1681, which destroyed large parts of the village in addition to the church, Joachim Wilhelm Marschall von Bieberstein (1627-1691) had the destroyed church and other buildings in the village rebuilt.
On October 3, 1737, Wilhelm Busso, the grandson of Joachim Wilhelm, sold the Bennstedt estate and Neu-Vitzenburg with all the associated properties to King Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia . In 1810, Prince August Ferdinand of Prussia finally sold the office and manor to the retired officer Andreas August Moritz Koch (1785–1836). His descendants owned the manor until it was expropriated in the course of the land reform in 1945 .
With the sequestration of the County of Mansfeld in 1570/73, the Bennstedt office was placed under direct administration of the Prussian Duchy of Magdeburg until 1716 , after which the Magdeburg part of the county was given the status of a media rule under Prussian sovereignty. With the extinction of the Counts of Mansfeld , the Bennstedt office finally came to that part of the county that was under the sovereignty of the Prussian Duchy of Magdeburg in 1780. With the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 Bennstedt was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia and assigned to the Halle district in the Saale department. The place came to the canton of Fienstedt . After Napoleon's defeat and the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia, Napoleon's allied opponents liberated the area in early October 1813. During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Bennstedt was attached to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816 and incorporated into the Mansfeld Seekreis .
From 1829, the underground mining of brown coal began in the Sophie mine , which the manor owner Koch had built. In the 20th century, the coal was then mined in open-cast mining, as evidenced by residual holes. At present one is busy securing the existing manholes in order to limit the existing hazard potential.
As part of the first district reform in the GDR, Bennstedt was reclassified to the Saalkreis on July 1, 1950 . With the second district reform, the place came in 1952 in the newly tailored hall circle in the Halle district , which was added to the Saalekreis in 2007. By reclassifying Langenbogen , Köchstedt became part of Bennstedt on January 1, 1957. This remained the place until it was reclassified to Teutschenthal on November 1, 1993.
Until the new formation of the unified municipality Salzatal on January 1, 2010, Bennstedt was an independent municipality in the administrative community Westlicher Saalkreis .

The choir was added in the 14th century. In the tower there are sound arcades from the 13th century, and a late Gothic portal on the south side of the nave. The north side of the tower is marked by an extension with the patron's box. The crypt annex adjoins the nave to the west. This is accessible, it contains two magnificent stone sarcophagi and five grave slabs of the von Bieberstein family as well as six grave slabs of the Bennstedter landowner family Koch.
After a fire in 1681, the nave was renovated in the Baroque style the following year .
