Eilenburg-Ost is a district of the large district town of Eilenburg in the district of North Saxony in Saxony . He emerged from the place Kültzschau.

history

The former village of Kültzschau was first mentioned in 1161. This makes it one of the most likely mentioned villages east of the Mulde in the area around Eilenburg. The place name has its origin in Sorbian. In a figurative sense it refers to the term clearing .

During the colonization movement, Flemish farmers settled in the village, which had belonged to the Petersberg monastery since 1161 . The settled colonists began to regulate the Lossa river, which flows through the village, and built a mill pond and a mill ditch, remains of which can still be seen today. The monks carried out extensive colonization work in the vast corridor of the village. It was under them a great Vorwerk with the corresponding sheep farm. That is why a street in today's Eilenburg-Ost is still called Schäfereistraße . They also maintained two water mills and farmed fish on a large scale.

The village itself originally consisted of only ten farmsteads, all of which were located on today's Kültzschauer Straße . Like many other villages in the region, Kültzschau was also badly affected by the Thirty Years' War , the still existing mill was demolished by mercenaries. During the Wars of Liberation in 1813, Napoleon , who had moved into quarters in Eilenburg, held the last military display of his allied Saxon troops near the town before the Battle of Leipzig. Until 1815 Kültzschau belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Eilenburg . Due to the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the place came to Prussia in 1815 and was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony in 1816.

Characteristic of the district: the high-rise in Eilenburg-Ost

District center Pushkinstrasse

In 1864/65 the small farming village was incorporated into the town of Eilenburg. In the following decades the village became more and more an industrial suburb of Eilenburg. The chemical industry, metal construction and wood processing industry settled here. The place slowly began to expand. In the 1930s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, new residential areas with appropriate infrastructure emerged. After the fall of the Wall in 1990, the district suffered particularly from shrinking and emigration. The population has stabilized since around 2010.

In the 1990s, Eilenburg-Ost was the largest district of Eilenburg with more than half of the total population. It can now be assumed that this is no longer the case. The district center is the area around Pushkin Street .
