history

The parish in Merzdorf, first mentioned in a document in 1406, and its Seifertsmühl district and the now desolate Vorwerk Karlsborn has been looked after from Frauenhain for several centuries . The village itself with its manor had belonged to the old Meissner or Bohemian noble family von Pflugk , whose ancestral seat was in Frauenhain , since 1580 . As early as 1565, the manor had been leased to it.

In 1725 an application was made to re-parish Merzdorf to Val Gardena and finally refused. According to the regulations of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Kingdom of Saxony , to which Merzdorf and Frauenhain also belonged, had to cede large parts of its national territory. The newly created state border ran along the road between Ortrand and Mühlberg and thus right through the parish . The municipality of Merzdorf now belonged to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony . Frauenhain remained with Saxony.

The neighboring communities of Wainsdorf and Kotschka were also directly affected by the division of Saxony and now belonged to Prussia. While Kotschka finally moved to the parish of Elsterwerda on application in 1891 and Wainsdorf had formed its own parish with Prösen since 1903 , the Merzdorfers now rejected a parish offered by the Prussian state government and successfully defended themselves against the separation of Frauenhain.

Despite all local efforts to build their own place of worship in Merzdorf, this wish remained until the Second World War . Church services and confirmation classes were partly held in the Merzdorf school. Hans Sachse from Merzdorf, tenant of the mill once located here, finally acquired two barracks from the Gröditz steelworks and had them set up on his property. From 1947, church services and other church events took place here too. In the following period, this property passed into the possession of the church through purchase or land exchange.

At the end of the 1960s, the striking bell tower made of red granite stone was built on the site, usually after work . The two bells inside rang for the first time on Christmas Eve in 1970. The building has been a listed building since 1988.

At the time of reunification , a new community center with a capacity of 220 people was built in the immediate vicinity instead of the previous barracks. The now stone community center in Merzdorf was inaugurated on November 4, 1990 as part of a festival service by the Großenhain superintendent Friedrich Krellner.

In the presence Merzdorf forms with the parishes Frauenhain, Groeditz , Nauwalde , Spannberg , Nieska and Koselitz the Pfarr area Groeditz .
