history

Droßdorf manor
Remaining track at the former Droßdorf station

Droßdorf was called around 1150 as "Drogisdorff". The local manor has been occupied since 1696. The first owner was the von Bose family , who sold the estate to the von Helldorf family at the beginning of the 18th century . Until 1856, Droßdorf was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Borna . From 1856 the place belonged to the Borna court office and from 1875 to the Borna district administration . On October 1, 1909, Droßdorf received a railway connection with the station of the same name on the Neukieritzsch – Pegau railway line .

1952 Droßdorf was assigned to the Borna district in the Leipzig district. On April 1, 1966, it was incorporated into Großstolpen . In the mining area of ​​the Schleenhain opencast mine, which has been approaching from the south and later from the west since 1949 , Droßdorf was initially not planned due to its peripheral location on trunk road 176. Nevertheless, the place and the manor were demolished between 1982 and 1983. The 300 residents of Droßdorf were resettled. In the Groitzsch district of Großpriesligk , new homes were built on "Droßdorfer Straße" for the former Droßdorfer from 1981. Only the train station, a sheep farm and the brickworks a little to the north survived the devastation in Droßdorf, but they have since been demolished. The location of the Luther memorial, inaugurated in 1884, one kilometer east of Droßdorf, was also in the mining area of ​​the Schleenhain opencast mine. For this reason, the 3.50 meter high obelisk with portraits of Katharina and Martin Luther was moved to the Neukieritzsch market in 1983 . Katharina von Bora , who later became Martin Luther's wife, was born in 1499 near Gut Lippendorf . Years later, her husband bought the Zöllsdorf estate in the Kieritzsch district as a retirement home for her , the location of which also had to give way to the opencast mine.

On June 1, 1997, travel on the Neukieritzsch – Pegau line was finally stopped. In 1998 all buildings on the site of the Droßdorf station were demolished.
