Location of Beyersdorf in Saxony-Anhalt

Beyersdorf is a district of the village of Glebitzsch, formed on July 1, 2009, and the town of Sandersdorf-Brehna in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district in Saxony-Anhalt and is located on federal motorway 9 .

history

The first documented mention of the village comes from the year 1161 (at that time still in the form of Beieristrorp ), but the history of the settlement probably goes back to the 8th century. The name Beyersdorf , which also occurs in the forms Beyersdorp (1292) and Beyersdorff (1531), can be traced back to a former manor owner named "Beristorpe". According to historical records, Beyersdorf was a farming village in the form of a west-facing Rundlingdorf and with its neighboring village Glebitzsch , with which it was united as a parish office in the 19th century, has been economically and culturally closely linked since its inception. They both belonged to the County of Brehna and later until 1815 to the Electoral Saxon Office of Bitterfeld . The decisions of the Congress of Vienna they came to Prussia and were in 1816 the district Bitterfeld in the administrative district of Merseburg of Saxony Province allocated to which they belonged to the 1944th

Beyersdorf itself was dominated by agriculture over the centuries. Up to the 19th century, Beyersdorf can be proven as a wine-growing location from invoices from the Brehna monastery . The Beyersdorf wine is said to have been quite sour. In the north of the village is the former Rittergut Juliushof , which after the land reform provided the basis for 13 new farmer positions. In the spring of 1953, the Beyersdorf-Juliushof LPG was formed. There was also a forestry department, which was also responsible for the deciduous forest complex and the manor park once north of Brehna. In 1955 there were only wheat and sugar beet fields.

In 1937/1938 the construction of the Berlin-Munich autobahn ( federal autobahn 9 ) led to decisive cuts in the landscape. As a result, Beyersdorf von Glebitzsch was cut off geographically significant for the living space and environment of the inhabitants. Since then, the two villages have only been connected by two bridges.

Due to the concentration and specialization in agricultural production that began in the 1970s, many barns and stables were no longer used in Beyersdorf and were falling apart more and more. Housing conditions deteriorated from year to year, and the emigration of young people in particular to the cities was inevitable.

Over the years, the residents of the former Juliushof estate (approx. 100 in 1956) left the buildings and properties assigned to them with the land reform. The last family moved to Beyersdorf in 1984.

At the beginning of the 1990s, a turnaround was initiated through a wide range of extensive state funding programs. In this context u. a. In Beyersdorf in the west a new residential area was built on Zörbiger Strasse with single-family houses.

As in most of the villages in the district, a sandstone war memorial was erected in Beyersdorf, south of the church, in the cemetery. In addition to the list of the victims, which in this particular case was only a man from Beyersdorf, it contains reliefs, warlike and rural symbolism, embedded on all four sides.

Local government

Beyersdorf was a legally independent municipality until June 30, 1950. On July 1, 1950, Beyersdorf was incorporated into Glebitzsch together with Köckern (see also Köckern service station). From 1994 to 2004 Beyersdorf was administered within the community of Glebitzsch by the administrative community (VG) "Am Strengbach". The VG was based in the city of Brehna and in the municipality of Roitzsch. Since 2004 - due to the dissolution of the administrative community "Am Strengbach" due to changes made to the minimum number of residents - Glebitzsch member community of the administrative community "Bitterfeld" and administered by it. It had its headquarters in the sponsoring municipality of the city of Bitterfeld. When the city of Bitterfeld-Wolfen was reorganized on July 1, 2007, the administrative community was also reorganized. From now on it is called the Bitterfeld-Wolfen Administrative Community

Until 2011, the independent municipality of Glebitzsch had to try to join a unitary municipality with at least 10,000 inhabitants (integration) within this period set by law (voluntary phase). Due to the population below 10,000, the Glebitzsch community should no longer be independent. In order to be incorporated into another municipality, Glebitzsch had to share a municipal boundary with it. Based on these facts, Glebitzsch was able to come to an agreement with the city of Zörbig or the municipality of Sandersdorf. Incorporation into the city of Brehna would have been meaningless, as Brehna could not reach 10,000 inhabitants as a result.

In a public announcement by the official gazette of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Bitterfeld-Wolfen on October 1, 2008 (special announcement) it was announced that on September 29, 2008 the Glebitz town council decided to hold a public hearing on December 7, 2008. At the hearing, the citizens were able to answer "yes" or "no" to the following question: "Should the community of Glebitzsch be incorporated into the community of Sandersdorf?"

After the public announcement in the official gazette of the administrative community Bitterfeld-Wolfen , the following voting result was achieved by the public hearing on December 7, 2008. Of 546 people entitled to vote, 133 valid votes were cast (24.54%). Of the 133 valid votes, 103 voted "Yes" (77.44%) and 30 votes "No" (22.56%). The majority of the valid votes is therefore "Yes".

On December 19, 2008 the mayors of the communities Sandersdorf, Glebitzsch, Petersroda and Roitzsch as well as the city of Brehna signed an area change agreement, which provided for the formation of the city of Sandersdorf-Brehna on July 1, 2009.

From this point in time, Beyersdorf is, according to local law, a district of the village of Glebitzsch and at the same time a district of the newly formed town of Sandersdorf-Brehna.

School operation

The first school of the parish was established in Beyersdorf, the seat of the pastor. The children of the other two towns (Glebitzsch, Köckern) also had to go there. Due to the "arduous" path, however, Köckern soon sent his children to a preceptor held by the von Köckern landowners instead of to Beyersdorf .

The school conditions in Glebitzsch were similar. Although it formed a school association together with Beyersdorf, a report by Epohrus (Superintendent) von Brehna shows that the "most attentive and respected parents" von Glebitzsch did not send their children to the municipal school in Beyersdorf, but a "private school" with one Private tutors set up. For this purpose, a school house was built there from 1845 to 1848 and the private school was converted into a local school. In 1842 26 children attended the private school and 32 went to the local school in Beyersdorf.

Around 1900 teachers in all localities tried to unite the three communities into a school association and to build a common school building. However, the project failed due to the resistance of the school board of the individual communities. A new building was built ready for occupancy for Glebitzsch in 1912 and for Köckern in 1914.

During the First World War , all three schools were merged and the average number of children of 160 were taught by just one teacher. In the period that followed, teaching in all three schools was single-class. The number of schoolchildren did not exceed 60. During the Second World War the schools were merged again and mostly taught by only one teacher.

In 1945 the number of children from resettled children in Beyersdorf rose to 100. These were taught in two classes by a teacher, the then 19-year-old resettler Charlotte Warzok from Silesia , who passed her teacher's exams with a war emergency test. In 1946, however, the teacher's war emergency test was no longer recognized. After a review was requested, she resigned. Since the teacher from Köckern was also ill during that time, the 300 children in the three towns had to be taught by two teachers from Glebitzsch at times. Each was a class teacher for four classes. In 1947 Beyersdorf and Glebitzsch each received a new teacher. At the beginning of the school year, both schools were merged. Köckern could not be connected to the "central school" due to lack of space. The new "central school" was in fifth grade, had four teachers and four classrooms. As a result of the decline in the number of children in 1948, Köckern's 7th and 8th school year could already be integrated into the central school in Glebitzsch. By further reducing the number of children in all three places to 240, all of them could be combined in the central school in 1949. The "central school" was now six-class, had five teachers and five classrooms. Two of them were in Beyersdorf. In 1957 the culture room of the LPG in Beyersdorf was set up as the sixth classroom for the eighth grade. From 1959 the 17 schoolchildren in the 7th and 8th grades were integrated into the neighboring school in Ramsin through a combined school system.

Romanesque village church

The church building is a small one-nave Romanesque quarry stone building with a retracted choir and a younger, straight east end. The quarry stones were probably taken from the nearby Quetzer break. The original shape is still clearly recognizable despite renovations in the 17th century. The west transverse tower has sound openings and a gable roof. The tower room is included in the ship. The window walls are made of brick. The inner wooden barrel has a circumferential gallery, dated to the year 1612. The patron's box is on the north side, a simple pulpit altar from the 18th century on the east side. Inside there is also a sandstone baptism, dated to the year 1674. On the outside of the tower there are some gravestones, some from the Baroque era. Inside is a late Gothic sacrament shrine in the east wall. The empty sepulcrum in the Altarmensa is unusually elongated.

The bell with a diameter of 1.15 m has on the one hand the text: “God bless the church tour Beyersdorf and Juliushof” and below it: “Cast by Gebr. Ulrich in Laucha a / U. 1883 ", on the other hand, the relief portrait of Luther with the signature:" 1483 DM Luther 1883 "and the heading:" A strong castle is our God ".

In the church there is an organ built around 1841 by the Wäldner company from Halle.

In 1977 the Evangelical District Church Council Brehna and the Parish Church Council decided to shut down the church for financial reasons. The inventory and the church property should be removed and secured.

Due to this, the church has stood empty for more than 40 years and is left to decay. This is particularly evident in the interior of the church.

In 2008 an initiative was formed that the church was able to use as a venue.

Support association

On January 31, 2009, a support and interest group Beyersdorfer Kirche und Umgebung eV was founded with the aim of preserving the church and restoring its structural substance and facilities. The association also wants to organize events such as B. Concerts, lectures or exhibitions, draw attention to the small village church. This should bring the church back into the center of the village and the village community.
