Burgheßler is a district of the municipality An der Poststraße in the Burgenland district in Saxony-Anhalt .
location
Burgheßler is a church village with a former manor, eight kilometers northeast of Eckartsberga , in the valley of the Haselbach. The village is located on the district road 2236 between Hohndorf and Klosterhäseler on the southern edge of a foothills of the Finns (ridge) .
history
The village was first mentioned on January 6, 1153. In the Sancti Lulli breviary , Heselere is mentioned among the Hersfeld possessions . The manor was the old ancestral seat of the Landgrave ministerial dynasty von Hessler , which appeared in the 12th century . In 1339 Heinrich von Burckersroda was enfeoffed with Markheßler by the Landgraves of Orlamünde . He is considered the actual ancestor and progenitor of the von Burkersroda family . In accordance with the custom of the time, those Burkersroda who lived in Heßler Castle as the Orlamündische service and castle men, adopted the name of Heßler as a designation of origin.
Heßler Castle probably got its name from the Hasel brook, which rises at Mariental and flows into the Unstrut at Balgstädt and flows through the valley running south. It was destroyed in the Thuringian Count's War in 1345 , not rebuilt and used as a quarry for the buildings of the village emerging in the valley. The manor, which remained in the possession of the von Heßler family until 1726, was built here. It belonged to the Eckartsberga office of the Electorate of Saxony . After the death of Christian Moritz von Heßler, the manors Burgheßler and Klosterhäseler fell to the Duke of Saxe-Weimar and were placed under the administration of the Roßla office by the duchy . Since the Electorate of Saxony confiscated the two estates during the Duke's lifetime, disputes arose between the Electorate and the Duchy. On August 30, 1726 , the Burgheßler manor was finally bought by the royal Polish and Saxon chancellor Johann Christoph Zeumer . Its heirs owned it until 1806 . In 1807 the property went to August Wilhelm, Friedrich August and Wilhelmine Auguste Caroline von Burkersroda. It remained in the ownership of the von Burkersroda family until the land reform in 1945 .
As a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Burgheßler was ceded to Prussia with most of Eckartsberga and assigned to the Eckartsberga district in the province of Saxony , to which the place belonged until 1944.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community of Hohndorf was incorporated.
