history

In the Codex diplomaticus Anhaltinus , a document is listed under the number 330 in what is today the State Archive of Saxony-Anhalt , Dessau department. In this document from 1147, the place names Cornbeche and Curenmbeck are mentioned. Further names of Cörmigk were in the following period Chormbach ( Wendish ), Cornbach ( Saxon ), Kormenik ( Slavic ), Cormek and Kormik (German). Only after that only one name developed, namely from Kormig - Cörmick - Körmigk to Cörmigk.

The outlying settlement of Sixdorf was an independent place until the 19th century. The place has been owned by the "Gottesgnaden" monastery near Calbe since 1147 and did not come to the "Neues Werk" monastery towards the end of the 12th century, as did Cörmigk.

Historically, Cörmigk belonged to Anhalt . From 1863 the place belonged to the district of Köthen in the Principality of Anhalt , which in 1918 became the Free State of Anhalt . In 1932 Cörmigk came to the Dessau-Köthen district , which was renamed the Köthen district in 1950. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the place became part of the Bernburg district in the Halle district , which became the Bernburg district in 1990 and was added to the Salzlandkreis in 2007.

On January 1, 2010, the previously independent municipality of Cörmigk was incorporated into the town of Könnern together with the municipalities of Edlau , Gerlebogk and Wiendorf .

Buildings

church

The Romanesque church in Cörmigk

The Romanesque church dates from the 12th century. It stands on a former Slavic rampart and was probably built on purpose as evidence of the defeated Slavery at this point. Most of the churches in the region date from the time of Albrecht the Bear , who lived from 1106 to 1170. The tower is Romanesque and still stands today in its original form. The pillars of the sound holes carry the early Romanesque cube capitals . Since in 1816 the old nave and the drawn-in choir with a straight end were in a very poor condition, it was demolished in 1817 and the simple rectangular new building was built using the old stones and new Löbejun quarry stones. The tombstones of the old cemetery were walled into the ship and can be seen there to this day. The church was given a Gothic style with an elongated horseshoe gallery .

Mill

In the 11th century the mill was first mentioned in the Gröbzig office. This is the fourth mill that was built in Cörmigk. The first mill was built below the church by the brook, the building still exists today. It is the small house across from the Gläsel family's pond. Since this building was built directly on the stream, the mill was driven by an undershot water wheel. The mill owner at that time was Mr. Strauss.

The mill has been owned by the Lederbogen family since the 17th century. In order to be able to supply Napoleon's soldiers with enough flour in 1814 , the then mill owner Eduard Lederbogen built a post mill on the hill towards Gröbzig, today's Mühlenberg. Napoleon's cannon road ran here. However, as it quickly became apparent that the capacity of the windmill was insufficient, it was decided to build a new mill at the current location. Since the aim was to make optimal use of hydropower, the project took an above-average amount of time.

Today's mill pond ("Gellert") was artificially created with inflow and outflow, which meant that an overshot water wheel could be operated and a gradient of over four meters was created behind the mill. At that time the mill had only one full floor with a pointed roof. At the end of the 19th century Eduard Lederbogen handed the mill over to his son Albert Eduard.

From 1926, the mill was gradually converted into a residential building with stables. The post mill was sold to Klein Wülknitz. However, due to the outbreak of war (1933?), The renovation could not be completed. When Albert Eduard Lederbogen died, his wife Minna took over the business until 1950, which was subsequently managed by their son Albert. At that time, the mill was designed for a daily output of five tons in 24 hours. In 1966 Albert Lederbogen leased the mill to his son, Albert again by name.

Since 1978 the mill has been designed for a daily output of six tons in 24 hours. In 1990, tankers began supplying bakeries with loose flour. In the same year, the production of wheat flours was resumed, as previously only state- owned enterprises were allowed to produce wheat flour in the Halle district during the GDR era . The mill of the Lederbogen family is one of the few businesses that were privately owned during the GDR era and that made the transition to the "free market economy".

In September 2004, the entire Mühlenhof was honored as a technical monument. This was followed by entry in the list of monuments of the state of Saxony-Anhalt. In February 2005, master miller Albert Lederbogen died, and his son-in-law Harald Sauer, also a master miller, took over management of the business.
