Grabschütz is a modern desert that was located southwest of Delitzsch and fell victim to brown coal mining by the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine in 1985 . Today only the Grabsützer See reminds of the former village, the corridor of which belongs to the municipality of Wiedemar in the district of North Saxony (Free State of Saxony ).

Geographical location

Grabschütz was located in the northwest of Saxony in the Leipzig lowland bay between Delitzsch in the northeast, Zwochau in the south and Wiedemar in the west. The corridor of the former village of Grabschütz is now between the Grabschützer See in the north and the Zwochauer See in the south.

history

The place Grabschütz was mentioned as early as 1350 as "Grabcicz". The round square village belonged to the electoral office of Delitzsch until 1815 . As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the town of Grabsütz became part of Prussia and in 1816 was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony , to which it belonged until 1952. On July 1, 1950, Grabsütz was incorporated into Zwochau . In the course of the district reform in the GDR in 1952, the community of Zwochau with Grabschütz was assigned to the newly cut Delitzsch district in the Leipzig district.

With the opening of the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine in 1976, large-scale mining of lignite began immediately north of Leipzig. As a result of the ongoing mining towards the south, the residents of Grabsuetz had to leave their homes around ten years later. In 1985 the place was demolished ( devastated ) and then dredged over. The opencast mine also cut through the Giniken moat (today Gienickenbach), which originally flowed through Grabschütz and Zwochau.

Grabitz today

The economic change associated with German reunification in 1989/90 led to a drastic decline in the demand for lignite, which resulted in the early closure of the Delitzsch-Südwest and Breitenfeld opencast mines by 1993. There remained two large and several small residual holes. The former corridor of Grabschütz has since been located between the Grabschützer See in the north (former waste deposit) and the Zwochauer See in the south.

geology

In 1986 was the mine Delitzsch Southwest 600 m northeast of the former village of grave contactor in the powerful Saalian time glacial till cover deepened 200 to 300 m wide basin with a predominantly lacustrine interglacial sedimentary sequence on dredged, the center of the endorheic basin was 51 ° 28'36 '' N 12 ° 17'03''E. The storage conditions are shown by the published geological sections. Although the layer sequence of the basin was only accessible for a short time, a comprehensive investigation was successful. This was important because the age has not been established lithostratigraphically because of the gap between the basin sediments and the Holocene cover layers and the Grabschütz Basin is one of the most important sites for the stratigraphic structure of the Middle Pleistocene .

The warm-time climate is evidenced by both the animal and the vegetable remains. Among the multitude of vertebrates , the remains of large mammals are particularly noticeable, e.g. B. from the extinct European forest elephant and an indefinable rhinoceros species. The palynological examination revealed a vegetation sequence from the birch period at the beginning of the interglacial to the hornbeam period in the final section. The similar vegetation development to lithostratigraphically secured occurrences of the Eem warm period was assessed as evidence of an Eem warm period age. Such an age is doubtful due to the storage position and the sequence of events in this section of the Saale complex and these doubts are supported by the results of the investigation of the ostracodal fauna and the carpological finds. The Grabschütz occurrence could therefore only be an independent interglacial between the Eem warm period and the ground moraine of the Saale glacial period, and because it was the first evidence of a full warm period in this period, the name "Grabschütz warm period" was proposed. In the later research of the Neumark-Nord site in the Geiseltal , the same inconsistency between the assumed pollen stratigraphic age and the other results, e.g. B. to the ostracodes and also the carpological remains. Despite the comprehensive assessment of the current state of knowledge, the official opinion is still held that there was no warm period in the Saale complex.
