Breitenbach is a district of the Wetterzeube community and is located in the south of the Saxony-Anhalt Burgenland district .
geography
The 51st parallel runs through Breitenbach.
The former municipality of Breitenbach consisted of the place Breitenbach and the districts Schlottweh and Schneidemühle.
history
A site from the younger Paleolithic was discovered in 1925 by the village school teacher Erich Thiersch at the cutting mill. This is apparently a camp site that the anatomically modern man repeatedly visited around 35,000 years ago . In 2012 archaeologists discovered the oldest ivory workshop in the world, in which mammoth tusks were processed, during the excavations that have been ongoing since 2009 .
The castle Breitenbach was originally a royal court, the first time as in a fake royal charter of 1138 Breitenbuch is called. Later a castle was built into this older complex (from the 10th / 11th century) by the Breitenbuch family, which was their ancestral seat from the middle of the 12th to the end of the 13th century. From the first half of the 13th century, the castle was owned by the Naumburg bishopric , but switched several times between the bishop and the margraves of Meissen. In 1306, Margrave Dietrich transferred Breitenbach Castle to Count Simon von Stolberg , and around 1310 Albert Knut probably only had it as a fiefdom for a short time. The castle was probably destroyed by two fires in the armed conflict of 1315. In 1317 Count Heinrich von Stolberg sold the castle to the Naumburg bishop. The Kempe (Kemenate), located right next to the castle, was built from its ruins in the mid-14th century.
Until 1792 Breitenbach was in the office of Haynsburg , then in the office of Zeitz .
On January 1, 2010, the municipalities of Breitenbach and Haynsburg merged with the municipality of Wetterzeube to form the new municipality of Wetterzeube.
