The Church of St. Stephanus in Kanena was probably built in the first half of the 13th century, and alterations were made in the 17th and 18th centuries. In Kanena there is also a small observatory and a planetarium , which originally belonged to the local school. Opened in 1963, both were the first in the GDR and served as models for numerous other buildings. The road to the planetarium was named after this small astronomical station. The planetarium has 60 seats and a dome diameter of 8 meters. With the star projector, around 5,000 stars can be projected onto the artificial sky. There is also a large manor that was owned by the Francke Foundations from 1731 to 1909 and is to be restored for new purposes in the future.

history

Kanena (earlier spelling: Canena) and Bruckdorf were in the historical hall circle of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . While Bruckdorf was under aristocratic jurisdiction, Canena was administered by the Giebichenstein office. A manor and a sheep farm at Canena were used to supply the orphanage at Glaucha . In 1680 both places with the Saalkreis came to the Duchy of Magdeburg under Brandenburg-Prussian rule.

With the Peace of Tilsit , Canena and Bruckdorf were incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 and assigned to the Halle district in the Saale department. They belonged to the canton of Dieskau . After Napoleon's defeat and the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia, Napoleon's allied opponents liberated the Saalkreis in early October 1813. During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, both places were attached to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816 and assigned to the Saalkreis. North of Kanena, brown coal was mined from 1926 and gravel from 1942 to 1954. After the open-cast mine was closed in the 1950s, it became the Horseshoe Lake. A second lake, directly on the road to Kanena, was filled in with rubbish until the 1960s. July 1, 1950, Bruckdorf and Kanena were incorporated into Halle (Saale).
