Memorial stone to Blumroda

Blumroda was a village southwest of Borna , which in the years 1952 to 1957 to the lignite mining the open pit Borna-West has fallen victim. Its hallway and the few remaining houses are now part of the Thräna district of the Borna town of Wyhratal in the Leipzig district (Free State of Saxony).

location

Blumroda was in the Leipzig lowland bay between Borna in the northeast and Regis-Breitingen in the southwest. It was between the Pleiße in the west and the B 93 (formerly F 93) in the east. The devastated location is now southeast of the Borna reservoir . The recently built Blumroda industrial estate is located on the other side of the B 93 southwest of the former town.

history

From the foundation to the middle of the 19th century

The church in Blumroda around 1840

The church of Blumroda was first mentioned in a document in 1410. In 1413 the von Breesen (von Biesen) sold their goods to the bishopric of Naumburg-Zeitz at Blumroda with the mill at Regis to the Naumburg bishop. Since then, Blumroda belonged with Regis and Breitingen to the Breitingen office , first mentioned in 1369 , which summarized the small episcopal possessions in the northern Pleissenland . In 1420 invading Hussites destroyed the neighboring village of Trojan. Its corridor was subsequently divided into Wyhra , Thräna and Blumroda, the latter received 3.5 hooves. In the course of the introduction of the Reformation , the Breitingen office came to the Ephorie Zeitz in 1536 . Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda have been Lutheran since 1542 .

With the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, the Albertine Duke and now Elector Moritz of Saxony became the patron of the Naumburg-Zeitz Abbey. After the death of the last Naumburg bishop Julius von Pflug in 1564, the bishopric and his offices passed to the Albertine Elector August I of Saxony as administrator. In 1564 the Zeitz office was formed from the monastery property around Zeitz , to which the small office Breitingen with Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda, which was spatially separated from this, was added. Although the name "Amt Breitingen" remained in use, it appears as a manor district with associated places in the listing of the Amt Zeitz. It was between the Saxon Office Borna in the north and the Ernestine duchy of Saxe-Altenburg associated office Altenburg in the south.

Between 1656/57 and 1718 Blumroda belonged in the Official Breitingen as part of the Office for Zeitz wettinischen Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Zeitz . With the appointment of the Electorate of Saxony to the Kingdom , the place belonged to the Kingdom of Saxony from 1806 . In 1814, the Naumburg monastery area was dissolved as part of the Kingdom of Saxony under Governor General Nikolai Grigoryevich Repnin-Volkonsky . After Napoleon's defeat , the Kingdom of Saxony, allied with him, had to cede a large part of its territory, including the Zeitz office, to the Kingdom of Prussia following the resolution of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 . The eastern enclave locations, i.e. H. the Breitingen office with Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda and the Zeitz offices of Nehmitz , Hagenest and Wildenhain remained with Saxony and were incorporated into the Borna office. Ecclesiastically, the places of the dissolved Breitingen office came to the Ephorie Borna. On December 19, the patrimonial jurisdiction of the Breitingen manor over Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda was dissolved. The Royal District Court of Borna took over the jurisdiction . In 1875 Blumroda joined the Borna administration .

Mid-19th century to the present

Lignite mining around Blumroda began in 1854. During this time, the “Wilhelmgrube” and the “Glück Auf I” mine between Blumroda and Thräna mined lignite. In 1877 coal mining began underground in the “Belohnung” mine (until 1926). Since the place suffered from a lack of water due to mining, a water pipe was built in 1893. In 1912 the Blumrodaer water tower was built, which supplied 17 communities and six major suppliers with water via the Regis waterworks. The Regis I opencast mine was built northwest of Blumroda in 1909, followed by Regis II in 1930 and Regis III and IV in 1937. In 1948, Regis IV, the last of these four opencast mines, was coaled out.

To the east of Regis I, the Blumroda opencast mine was opened in 1948. An expert opinion drawn up by the lignite head office in 1951/52 on the coal supply in the Borna and Zeitz districts came to the conclusion that Blumroda should be dredged over by the open-cast mine at the Borna lignite plant. The resettlement of the village's 169 families began the following year. The excavation by the Borna-West opencast mine, which began in 1954, was interrupted in July of that year by a dam break as a result of the flooding in the Pleißenaue and the flooding of the neighboring Blumroda opencast mine. This was then shut down and the Haselbach opencast mine west of Regis-Breitingen opened as a quick replacement .

The Blumroda site was excavated until 1957, including the Blumroda opencast mine. As a replacement for the Blumroda water tower that was destroyed in 1955, a new water tower was built in Röthigen near Deutzen . In contrast to the place demolished by the Deutzen opencast mine in 1957/58 , this was spared from demolition.

From Blumroda only a few houses in the southeastern area on the F 93 (today B93) have been preserved. These were the former single dormitory of the “Kraft I” Thräna lignite works and two residential buildings in the immediate vicinity. These came with the devastated corridor from Blumroda to Thräna in 1960 and with its incorporation in 1997 to the municipality of Wyhratal . Since January 1st, 2004 Wyhratal has been part of the town of Borna , to which Blumroda has belonged since then.

The recultivated area of ​​Blumroda is now partly in the Borna reservoir . A pig fattening facility was built near the desert Mark Trojan in 1975, on whose location, thanks to its favorable location on the B 93, an industrial area was formed after 1990, which was given the name Blumroda.

societies

The local group Blumroda of the "Heimatverein Regis-Breitingen und Umgebung eV", in which former residents of Blumroda meet, organizes regular events in the Gasthof Thräna. She also maintains the memorial stone that reminds of the disappeared place.
