history
The first documentary mention comes from the year 1267 and can be found in the Merseburg cathedral monastery. At that time the place was still called Borsdorph . The coffee tree , probably the first restaurant in the village, was built in 1724. It was regionally famous for its sand cake. A few decades later, in 1748, the shepherd's house, since 1994 the local history museum, is mentioned for the first time. It is the oldest building in town to this day. The first "Borsdorf School" was opened in the so-called Spittel in Leipziger Strasse in 1819, on May 11, 1838 the railway line between Borsdorf and Machern , a few kilometers away, was completed and only two months later the line to Wurzen . The Borsdorf station was one of the first stops on this route. The founding fathers of the SPD August Bebel and Wilhelm Liebknecht moved from Leipzig to Borsdorf in 1881. There is also a memorial plaque at today's Bebel-Liebknecht-Haus Borsdorf . The place was until 1856 in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon District Office Leipzig . From 1856 the place belonged to the Brandis court office and from 1875 to the administrative authority of Grimma . In 1929 Arthur Carius' art deco town hall and the fire station were inaugurated.
During World War II on October 20 and 21, 1943, "some houses along the railway line were destroyed", killing five people. Parts of the women's home and the Union company are also destroyed. From 1952 Borsdorf belonged to the Leipzig-Land district , which existed until 1994 (from October 3, 1990 as the Leipzig district). From August 1, 1994 to December 31, 1998 it belonged to the district of Leipziger Land and from January 1, 1999 to the Muldental district . On August 1, 2008, the Muldental District was merged with the previous district of Leipziger Land to form the new district of Leipzig . The municipality is the smallest in the district in terms of area, but has the second largest population density after Wurzen.
On June 1, 1973, the place Zweenfurth , on January 1, 1999 Panitzsch was incorporated with the 1921 incorporated Cunnersdorf.
After reunification , Borsdorf experienced a large influx. A new residential area, the "Parthenaue", was created and numerous new apartment buildings were built. In 1996, an education and technology center (BTZ) of the Chamber of Crafts in Leipzig was opened with over 700 workshop spaces, in which more than 30 trades are trained. A Christmas market has been held every year at Christmas since 2005.
At the beginning of the 2010s, the modernization and renovation of the station facilities and the historically valuable station building were largely completed.
In July 2014, the expansion of the free grammar school on Heinrich-Heine-Straße began. The demolition of the historic school building in the inner courtyard from 1874, the so-called old school, was controversial . The last work was completed in summer 2016 with the completion of the extensive renovation of the school building from the years 1905 and 1911. On April 21, 2018, a new sports hall was inaugurated on a former railway site. It is also used for larger community events. Since the sports hall should have a better connection, the goods loading route (the so-called goods floor ) has been expanded since summer 2019 . Among other things, this creates the necessary parking facilities near the train station. In December 2018, Borsdorf also got a marketplace . On the former site of a department store built in the 1980s, which was demolished in 2008, after several months of construction, a paved square with winter linden and spherical maples , an electronic chime and a stone fountain was created opposite the town hall . Special attention is also paid to a historicizing hydrant.
The Festa book publisher, which has been publishing extreme horror and thriller novels since April 2001, is located in Borsdorf. Festa Verlag's advertising slogan is When reading becomes a test of courage .

memorial
In front of the old school , which was demolished in 2014 , a memorial commemorated the doctor Margarete Blank , who after 1933 supported the resistance against the Nazi regime , provided foreign prisoners of war and forced laborers with medicine and passed on messages from " enemy broadcasters ". She was denounced and murdered in Dresden in 1945 . The elementary school in Panitzsch bears her name. Your former residential and practice building on Margarete-Blank-Straße was set up as a memorial in 1975 and renovated in 1993 to meet the requirements of listed buildings. A permanent exhibition provides information about their lives, but also about the situation in the former satellite camps and forced labor camps. A support association has been taking care of the further development of the memorial since 1996.
