history

Geussnitz Church

Geussnitz was mentioned in 1147 when seven Hufen came to the Naumburg-Zeitz Monastery. Wildensee was a Vorwerk of the manor Geussnitz. The place Wildenborn was mentioned in 1284 in connection with Villikus Hermann von Wildenborn, who probably belonged to the episcopal ministerials . Geußnitz, Wildensee and Wildenborn belonged to the district of the court of the Roten Graben, which came to the Naumburg-Zeitz bishopric in 1286. The three places were in the Zeitz office until 1815 , which as part of the Naumburg-Zeitz monastery had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school- principality of Saxony-Zeitz between 1656/57 and 1718 .

As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , Geußnitz, Wildensee and Wildenborn came to Prussia with the Zeitz office in 1815 . The places were in 1816 the county Zeitz in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony allocated. Geußnitz had a baroque village church, the nave of which was expanded in the neo-Romanesque style in 1848/49, while the tower of the previous building was retained. On October 25, 1795, the parents of the composer Robert Schumann , August Schumann and Christiane nee were there. Schnabel from Zeitz, married (memorial plaque on the church portal). The church building from 1849 was destroyed towards the end of the Second World War. The reconstruction was initially carried out without a tower; only its ground floor, used as a choir, remained. The upper floor of the tower including the baroque dome was not restored until after 1990.

After the dissolution of the Prussian province of Saxony (1815–1944), the administrative district of Merseburg became the province of Halle-Merseburg (1944–1945) on July 1, 1944 , which now also included Geußnitz, Wildensee and Wildenborn in the Zeitz district. After the Second World War , the three places came to the state of Saxony-Anhalt. Already before 1950 Wildensee was incorporated into Wildenborn and Wildenborn again to Geussnitz. With the administrative reform in the GDR on July 25, 1952, the municipality of Geussnitz came to the Zeitz district in the Halle district , which has been continued as the Zeitz district in the state of Saxony-Anhalt since 1990 and became part of the Burgenland district in 1994.

Together with Döbris , Kayna , Nonnewitz and Würchwitz , Geußnitz was incorporated into the city of Zeitz on July 1, 2009. Since then, Geußnitz and Wildenborn together with Wildensee form the Zeitz locality of Geußnitz.
