Brücken (Helme) has been part of the municipality of Brücken-Hackpfüffel in the Mansfeld-Südharz district since January 1st, 2009 .
geography
The place on the Helme is about 8 km west of Sangerhausen near the state road 151 and the federal highway 38 . The edge zones of the Kyffhäuser Mountains are about 6 km southwest of the village.
history
At the beginning of the 9th century, bridges are documented as Trizzebruccun in a list of the goods of the Hersfeld Monastery, built by Archbishop Lullus († 786) of Mainz . It belonged to the early possession of the Counts of Beichlingen .
At the instigation of Hans von Werthern , the Flecken Brücken received its town charter from Emperor Maximilian I in 1518, but this was lost again in the centuries that followed.
Bridges was occupied by US troops in April 1945 , which were relieved by the Red Army in July . This made it part of the Soviet Zone and, from 1949, of the GDR.
On January 1, 2009, the previously independent municipality of Brücken (Helme) merged with Hackpfüffel to form the new municipality of Brücken-Hackpfüffel.
Buildings and monuments
Village church of St. Aegidius
Single-aisle hall church with two-bay, just closed choir. As is customary for regional country churches, the nave is vaulted with a mighty wooden barrel, and the choir is vaulted with a groin. The choir is the oldest part of the church and is dated to the 13th century. The tower, nave and choir extension were added around 1518. A fire in 1591 made repairs necessary soon, as part of which the choir vault was built. The furnishings include the epitaph for Anton von Werthern from 1579, a baptismal font from 1598 and the altarpiece with the painting "Prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane" by Samuel Bottschild . The painting, completed in 1703, was completely overpainted in 1859 and impaired again in 1925, so that today it has only few indications of its original quality.
lock
From the time the von Witzleben family sold it to Hans von Werthern in 1501, until it was sold in 1905, it was owned by the baronial von Werthern -brücken family. On the remains of a moated castle, the wife of Dietrich von Werthern (1486–1536), Margaretha, had the two-storey stone building with late Gothic door frames built in 1525. The lock is kept quite unadorned with the exception of the doors, which are framed with overlapping frameworks. The windows also have Gothic sandstone frames. Groin vaults have been preserved on the ground floor. A bay window on the east wall of the building may represent the rest of the Gothic chapel.
Memorial stones "Brücksche Heide"
At the end of the 19th century, Heinrich von Werthern had the existing heather houses built as his family's summer residence on the "Brückschen Heide", south-west of the village. After the castle estate was sold in 1905, the family moved to the heath. In honor of Siegfried Freiherr von Werthern, a boulder designed as a memorial stone was erected in 1935 with the slogan "The heart of his people. The strength of the fatherland. God the soul". In 1934 and 1942, two more smaller boulders followed in memory of his sons. The memorial, like the heather houses, has been preserved to this day.
