geography
Geographical location
Borna is located in the southern part of the Leipzig lowland bay , in the natural area of the mining area south of Leipzig . The small river Wyhra flows through the city, which previously meanders through the Wyhraaue nature reserve. In today's area around Borna, extensive lignite deposits emerged in the Tertiary , the extraction of which in open-cast mining has significantly shaped the landscape over the past 100 years. Mountains emerged from the spoil heaps of the opencast mining outcrops, and the flooding of the opencast mining holes became the Leipzig New Lakeland .
To the southeast of Borna is the Kohrener Land , a scenic and culturally attractive area.
The city is located in the middle of the metropolitan region of Central Germany , so Leipzig is 33 km, Gera 50 km, Chemnitz 58 km, Halle 67 km, and Dresden 113 km away. Neighboring larger cities are Altenburg 17 km, Grimma 24 km and Zeitz 35 km away.

history
City history
In today's urban area of Borna there were first the two settlements of Altstadt Borna and Wenigenborn (a) with an Augustinian canon monastery that existed until 1307 . Before the city was founded, the Borna moated castle had existed in the city since the 9th century . Under the protection of this castle, an early urban complex around today's Königsplatz developed as a market in the 11th century. The first mention of the planned market establishment of Borna west of the old town of Borna was made in 1200 in a document from Margrave Dietrich and in 1228 in a document from his son Heinrich the Illustrious . Borna was first mentioned as a town in 1251. In the wars of the Middle Ages , Borna was badly destroyed every time and burned down five times. Important military and salt roads ( B 93 and former B 95 ) ran through the town . In the 12th century there was a merchant settlement near the old town, which also included the Kunigunden Church. This church is one of the best preserved Romanesque brick buildings from the 12th century in Central Germany. In the 14th century the town hall, the town church of St. Marien and the town wall with its four gates were built. Of the gates (Reichstor, Pegauer Tor, Roßmarktsches Tor, Altenburger Tor) only the Reichstor remained, in which the city museum is located today. Economically, agriculture has always dominated, especially the cultivation of onions , which earned the city the nickname "Zwibbel-Borne". The Schriftsässigkeit received city Borna with a Lehnsbrief 1494 awarded. Already in 1464 the city of Borna received the lower and 1482 the high jurisdiction upon revocation. The manorial power lay with the city council of Borna. After the town regulations were introduced in 1832, the Borna district included the town with its suburbs, the Bockwitz manor and the Haulwitz suburb. The city's jurisdiction was transferred to the Royal Saxon District Court of Borna in 1854.
Famous guests of the city were: Martin Luther 1522, Tsar Alexander I. 1813, Napoleon Bonaparte . The garrison of the carbine regiment was in Borna until 1918 , which formed the 4th Saxon cavalry brigade with the Uhlan regiment No. 21 . Next to the town hall there is still the old guard , which served the soldiers as a guard house. A horse virus is named after the city, the Bornash disease virus (also BoDV - Borna Disease Virus) of the Bornaviridae family , because the disease it caused was first described in the city's cavalry horses in 1885. In 1908 a very well-preserved mammoth skeleton was found near the city , which was then called the Borna mammoth and exhibited in the Museum für Völkerkunde in Leipzig until it was almost completely burned in December 1943 as a result of a bomb attack.
With the start of lignite mining around 1800, the city's industrialization began . The lignite industry dominated until recently. In the 19th century, however, other companies such as the piano maker Heyl came into being . On January 14, 1867, at the insistence of Mayor Karl Heinrich , Borna was connected to the German railway network by building the Borna– Neukieritzsch line, and thus in Neukieritzsch to the Leipzig – Hof (Saxon-Bavarian Railway) line to Leipzig . This rail connection was financed by private funds and the city treasury and was therefore the only urban railroad in the Kingdom of Saxony . On April 8, 1872, the line via Geithain to Chemnitz was extended ( Neukieritzsch – Chemnitz line ). As a result, at the beginning of the 20th century the city initially expanded westwards towards the train station. Later settlements emerged in the southwest. The Witznitz I and II , Borna-West and Borna-Ost / Bockwitz opencast mines were built around the town . As a result, today's districts of Alt-Witznitz (large part), Görnitz with Hartmannsdorf, Blumroda, Gut Bockwitz and Borna-Ost (abbey) were devastated. In return, the districts "Neu-Witznitz" behind the Breite Teich, "Borna-Nord" (from 1950) and the new building areas "Am Hochhaus", "Borna-Ost", "Borna-Südwest" and "Paul-Paschke" emerged from 1950 -Straße "(today:" An der Wyhra "). The Gnandorf development area was the last to be built in 1984. After 1990, renovations mainly took place in the city center.
Borna has always been the center of administration. Until 1856, the city was the capital of the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office Borna in the Leipzig district . From 1856 the place was the seat of the Borna court office and from 1875 the Borna district administration , which was called Borna district from 1939 to 1952. The administrative reform of 1952 made Borna district town of the Borna district in the Leipzig district , which was continued as the Borna district in 1990. With the district reforms in the Free State of Saxony, Borna received the municipal status of a large district town on October 1, 1994 , but initially lost the district seat of the district of Leipziger Land , which was created by merging the districts of Leipzig-Land, Borna and Geithain, to the district-free city of Leipzig. From January 1st, 1999 the district seat was again in Borna. Even after the merger of the previous district of Leipziger Land with the Muldental district in 2008, Borna remained the district town of the newly created district of Leipzig.
History of the districts incorporated before 1990
Old town Borna with Wenigenborna and abbey
The city of Borna originally consisted of three settlement centers. In addition to the planned market settlement of Borna, which was first mentioned in 1228 (attested as a town since 1264), this was the old town of Borna east of the Mühlgraben with Borna Castle and Wenigenborn (a). Wenigenborn, also known as Wendisch-Born in the early days, is the oldest of the three settlements. An Augustinian canon monastery existed in the place between 936 and 1307 . Borna old town had its own church called Johanniskirche until 1539. In the course of the Reformation , the dilapidated church was demolished and the old town of Borna and Wenigenborna parish to Borna. In 1530 Borna Castle, which was expanded into a castle in the 12th century, was demolished. Since the 16th century, the towns of Borna and Wenigenborna, separated by the Saubach, formed a legal entity that was subordinate to Borna. In the place was the Official Frohn Festival (official prison) of the Borna office. Although Old Town Borna had no suburban qualities, the place was referred to as the suburb of Borna around 1724 and 1834. In 1934, the old town of Borna with Wenigenborna and the district Abtei were incorporated into Borna to the west. The Abtei district was relocated between 1964 and 1966 due to the approaching Borna-Ost opencast mine and dredged between 1966 and 1968.
Bockwitz, good
In Bockwitz, north-west of Borna, a manor had been recorded since 1292, which was called a knight's seat from 1420. Bockwitz was parish in the old town of Borna until 1539. In the period that followed, the village and the knight's seat were desolate. Not until 1791 was a manor named again that belonged to the Borna office. It was referred to as a Burglehngut in 1834 and a Rittergut in 1858. Bockwitz was parish in Borna since 1834 and in St. Marien parish in Borna since 1875. In 1854 the Bockwitz estate was incorporated into Borna. The manor was dissolved in 1945 and the corridor was divided among new farmers .
Lignite mining around Bockwitz began in the mid-19th century. The first attempts at drilling began in 1835. A few decades later, seven pits were in operation north of the town. Around 1870 there were several underground mines as well as the Kunze, Bauer and Gottessegen opencast mines. The Borna-Ost opencast mine (1960–1985) reached the southern edge of the village in construction site II in 1970/71, but spared the place itself. This changed with the opening of the Bockwitz opencast mine in 1982 southwest of Bockwitz. In preparation for the northward expansion of the mining field, the Bockwitz location was cleared in 1988, but was no longer excavated due to the early closure in 1992. After the renaturation of the area, the Bockwitz corridor is now on the northwestern edge of Lake Bockwitz .
Gnandorf
Gnandorf is located south of Borna city center between the Neukieritzsch-Chemnitz railway line in the west and the Wyhra in the east. The place celebrated its 625th anniversary in 2003. The place was in the Borna office and was subject to the inheritance jurisdiction of the Borna City Council until 1856. In 1856 this passed to the Borna court office. Since 1875 the place belonged to the administrative authority Borna. Gnandorf was incorporated into Borna in 1934. On August 17, 1984, the foundation stone was laid for the Gnandorf development area.
Görnitz with Hartmannsdorf
Görnitz belonged to the Lobstädt manor until 1855/56 , Hartmannsdorf to the Großhermsdorf manor . Both places were in the Saxon office of Borna. In 1856 they came to the Borna court office and in 1875 to the Borna district administration. On October 1st, 1948 Hartmannsdorf was incorporated into Görnitz. In the course of the lignite mining in the Borna-West opencast mine , Hartmannsdorf was partially dredged between 1957 and 1960, while Görnitz was completely dredged between 1961 and 1963. Today the Borna reservoir is located on the recultivated area of the villages. The area has belonged to Borna since 1965.
Haulwitz
The Haulwitz Vorwerk has been documented since 1791. At that time it was under the jurisdiction of the manor Lobstädt in the Borna district. After the introduction of the city code in the Kingdom of Saxony, Haulwitz came to the Borna city court district in 1832. In the following years Haulwitz went on in the urban area of Borna. Today Haulwitzer Straße is located in the southwest of the core city of Borna.
Witznitz
The place Witznitz was north of Borna and southwest of Haubitz. In 1548, jurisdiction over the place in the Borna district lay with the Lobstädt manor . In 1764 there was an own manor in the village. In 1856 Witznitz came to the Borna office and in 1875 to the Borna administration. The Witznitz I opencast mine was in operation from 1911 to 1949. In preparation for the impending demolition of Witznitz due to the open pit, the place was incorporated into Borna in 1940. In 1941 the place was demolished. Between 1950 and 1954, the Witznitz reservoir was built in the disused open-cast mine , with a few houses from Alt-Witznitz remaining on its southwestern edge. The district "Neu-Witznitz" was created on the northern edge of Borna behind the broad pond.
The Witznitz briquette factory east of the Witznitz storage basin was in operation until 1992. A re-use concept was drawn up for them. The creation of the new Borna residential area "Grüne Harfe" is planned on the site, which will integrate new apartments and the old factory buildings. The aim is mixed use with a focus on education / culture / leisure, trade and living. Despite the dismantling and the removal of all the technology, the eleven buildings made of yellow clinker brickwork have been preserved and four have already been renovated. As a high-quality testimony to industrial architecture, they now house offices and are used for exhibitions and cultural events. Another building was converted into a residential location for lofts . The area of the former rail connection has already been built on with single-family houses.
Incorporations
Haulwitz belongs to Borna after 1832. The Bockwitz estate was incorporated in 1853/1854. In 1934 old town Borna and Gnandorf were incorporated. Witznitz was incorporated in 1940 and Görnitz with Hartmannsdorf was added in 1965. The three places Witznitz, Görnitz and Hartmannsdorf were eliminated by the lignite mining.
The municipality of Eula with its four districts was incorporated in 1994. In 2004, Wyhratal followed with four districts. Eula and Wyhratal have their own local council.

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the city of Borna is a three-part shield with the basic colors gold and blue. In the first field the coat of arms shows the black Meißner lion facing to the right, in the second field a silver helmet with a crest. This consists of a red and silver striped male trunk, the so-called Meißner Jew head. His bearded head wears a red and silver striped cap, which is decorated with a peacock feather. In the blue top of the coat of arms stands a golden church with three towers.
These three coats of arms go back to the tradition of the oldest city seal. The tiny lion and the helmet with the Jewish hat can already be recognized there - both also had the Margraves of Meißen in their coat of arms, and with them the city documented its membership of the Margraviate of Meißen. In the middle of the seal, however, dominated a large, three-tower church, which was determined by the historian Prof. O. Kittel as a symbol of the diocese of Merseburg, in whose area our city developed. Borna derived its city colors gold and blue from the family arms of the House of Wettin. They belonged to the Osterland and the Mark Landsberg and we also see them in the Leipzig city arms as the blue and gold “Landsberger Pfähle”.
Before the coat of arms got its present form, a brightly painted, enlarged form of the city seal had been in use since 1845, which contradicted all the rules of heraldry, so that the Ministry of the Interior demanded changes. This coat of arms on the precious coffered ceiling of the council chamber in the town hall can be seen as a curiosity. In August 1897 the coat of arms, by the Königl. Saxon. Ministry of the Interior officially confirmed and has remained unchanged since then.
