geography

Casekirchen is located about 9 km southeast of Naumburg (Saale) . The districts of the former municipality were Köckenitzsch (incorporated on January 1, 1957) and Seidewitz (incorporated on September 17, 1961).

history

Casekirchen was first mentioned in a document in 977 as "Cesice", in 1235 and 1250 as "Kaskirgen" or "Kaiskirgen", 1253 as "Kaskerkene" and as early as 1346 as "Kaskirchen". The church, founded in very old times, was consecrated to St. Nicasius and gave the place the name Nicasiuskirchen, from which the current place name was drawn. The Kirchberg, which is exposed to the southeast, is said to have been an ancient pagan cult site on which an important idol altar stood. Presumably for this reason an early mission church St. Casius Church was placed on the artificially formed hilltop, visible from afar, but it was abandoned and removed. A number of barrows and stone weapons have been found in its vicinity .

In 1237, Henricus de Casekirchen was first mentioned as a manor owner . After the estate belonged to the von Harstall and von Brand families during the 16th century , it passed into the possession of the von Meusebach family in 1600 and to the von Tümpling family in 1662 . In 1733 the estate was divided up and sold to several farmers from Casekirchen and the surrounding area, which gave the place an economic boom.

As a result of the Reformation, the Lutheran faith was introduced, the first Protestant pastor was Peter Büttner, alias Petrus Pithonius, who was appointed in 1524. The oldest preserved casualia records date from 1602.

Casekirchen, Köckenitzsch and Seidewitz belonged to the Wettin district office of Eisenberg , which was under the sovereignty of various Ernestine duchies due to several divisions in the course of its existence . In 1826, the places with the northern part of the Eisenberg district office came from the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg to the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen and became part of the Camburg exclave . A book on regional studies of the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen published in 1850 reports on Casekirchen: “The place has four public buildings, 19 residential buildings and two industrial buildings. 24 families with 163 inhabitants live in the village. ”The number of inhabitants fell to 135 in 1900, 128 in 1919 and 120 in 1937, but rose again to 216 by 1950.

From 1922 to 1939 Casekirchen, Köckenitzsch and Seidewitz belonged to the Camburg district department , then to the Thuringian district of Stadtroda until 1948 , then briefly to the district of Jena . During the territorial reform of 1952 in the GDR , the three places came to the Naumburg district in the Halle district , which ended their affiliation with Thuringia.

In 1953 Casekirchen had a Type I LPG and from October 1st 1960 a Type III LPG.

On January 1, 1957, Köckenitzsch and on September 17, 1961 Seidewitz were annexed to Casekirchen, the newly created municipality had the municipality number 081205. By 1972 the population had grown to 361 people, but fell again to 246 inhabitants by the end of 2008. On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities Casekirchen, Abtlöbnitz , Leislau and Molau merged to form the new community Molauer Land.
