history

In 2017, archaeologists from the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and Archeology in Saxony-Anhalt near Beuna came across six 4800 year old graves with gravestones and grave goods. According to the archaeologist Susanne Friederich, those buried there date from the epochs of string ceramics and the bell-cup culture .

Donation deed from 1004 from Heinrich II. To the diocese of Merseburg about the manor

Beuna was first mentioned in a document on March 4, 1004. In this document, King Heinrich II hands over the manor in "Bunivua", today's Niederbeuna, to the newly established diocese of Merseburg . Originally the place was called Bunem . This designation is associated with the German word “Bühne”, which refers to a raised location.

Bunem was privately owned by the Saxon emperors from the Liudolfinger family . They also owned the manor in Niederbeuna, which Heinrich II gave to the diocese of Merseburg in 1004 . Since that time there has been an Oberbeuna (Bunowe superior) belonging to the Diocese of Halberstadt and a Niederbeuna (Bunowe inferior) belonging to the Diocese of Merseburg . A distinction was made between the two villages in the spelling by putting Oberbeuna Bünowe , Niederbeuna Bunowe . Each of the two places had its own administration, its own church and its own parish. Since 1320 both villages belonged to the Dompropstei Merseburg. At the time of the Reformation, a single German language was introduced. From now on they wrote Beunau instead of Bunowe.

Former mill

The mill in Beuna is of particular historical value. It was built in the 12th century by Benedictine monks from the St. Petri monastery. It has been destroyed several times over the centuries.

In 1545 there were 14 house owners and 70 inhabitants in Niederbeuna, just as many houses and inhabitants Oberbeuna had at that time, a strange coincidence. On February 18, 1753, a fire destroyed three houses and four barns in Niederbeuna, including the barn belonging to the school. In 1819, when the Prussian census took place, Niederbeuna had 24 houses with 117 inhabitants, Oberbeuna 22 houses with 108 inhabitants. Upper and Niederbeuna belonged to 1815 to hochstiftlich-merseburgischen Office Merseburg , under since 1561 electoral Saxon stood sovereignty and between 1656/57 and 1738 for Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Merseburg belonged. By the resolutions of the Vienna Congress both places came in 1815 to Prussia and were 1,816 Merseburg in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony allocated.

The first school building was built in Niederbeuna in 1859. The sexton school and a teacher were subordinate to the pastor. The small stretch of land between Merseburg and Müuellen was considered to be densely populated. The intensive agriculture as well as the large goods, the sugar factory and the large lignite deposits to be mined justify the construction of a railway. In December 1886, the Merseburg – Müächen railway was opened to traffic. One of the five train stations was built in Niederbeuna. The briquette factory was in operation from 1909 to 1991. A few years later it was blown up.

Niederbeuna and Oberbeuna were merged on April 1, 1937 to form the municipality of Beuna. In the same year the place received the addition "Geiseltal". As early as 1992, the municipality of Beuna was part of the Merseburg administrative community until it was incorporated on January 1, 2009.

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

On February 5, 1918, the electric tram between Merseburg and Müchi went into operation, which also ran through Beuna. On May 28, 1968, it operated for the last time due to the advancing lignite mining in the Geiseltal and was then removed.

Beuna has a stop with a bus shelter on the Merseburg – Querfurt railway line . It is served hourly by the DB Regio Südost railcars .

Beuna is in the immediate vicinity of the federal motorway 38 (junction Merseburg-Süd ).

Manor

Manor

The Niederbeuna manor was first mentioned in 1004 in the deed of gift to the diocese of Merseburg with the name "Bunivua". Previously it was owned by the Roman-German emperors from the house of the Liudolfingers . Bunowe, as Niederbeuna was called in the 12th century, is probably the ancestral seat of the de Bunowe or Bünau family . The next documentary mention is the Leibgutsverschreibung from 1388 for Margarete zu Groest. In 1400 the manor was loaned to the Bishop of Merseburg. In 1431 it came into private hands. Owners were among others members of the families Bose , Kannewurff and von Ende . In 1881 the manor was bought by the Körbisdorf sugar factory. By acquiring the latter, it finally came to the Leunawerke in 1937 . In 1945, as part of the land reform, it was handed over to land workers who had no property.
