Großstädteln is a district of Markkleeberg in the district of Leipzig (Free State of Saxony ). Until its incorporation in 1937, the place was an independent municipality.
geography
Großstädteln is located in the Leipzig lowland bay 10 km south of Leipzig on the Pleiße . The formerly scenic Pleißenaue and the forest southwest of Großstädteln, the Harth , fell victim to lignite mining in the second half of the 20th century . Enclosed to the west by the Zwenkau opencast mine and to the east by the Espenhain opencast mine , the place was at the northern end of the 500 m wide north-south "Canal", which also connected the Leipzig-Altenburg railway line , the F2 / 95 trunk road and the laid and straightened Pleiße had to record. After the open-cast mine was closed, the overburden areas were recultivated, but the narrow north-south orientation of the infrastructure has remained. The neighboring towns of Großstädteln are the urban area of Markkleeberg in the north and Gaschwitz with small towns in the south (also belonging to Markkleeberg). In the vicinity of Großstädteln, the Markkleeberger See, which emerged after the end of lignite mining, lies in the east and the Cospudener See in the west, which can be reached via a cycle path through the newly reforested Harth .
history
The good
In the once elongated village of Großstädteln there was a manor of the von Pflugk family . The following owners can be verified for the estate in Großstädteln: Caesar Pflugk on Eythra (1482), Wolf von Erdmannsdorff (1530), then the Lords of Dieskau , Wilhelm von Kospoth , Colonel von Lüttichau (1690). In 1730 the estate was sold to the Leipzig merchant Peter Hohmann , who already owned the neighboring towns of Deuben , Cröbern and Crostewitz . In 1734, his son Karl Friedrich von Hohenthal had the palace and church in large cities rebuilt in the Baroque style in imitation of the noble neighbors Kees and Jöcher . Around 1850 the moat was filled in and the moat was redesigned. The old church was demolished in 1880 and rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style.
In 1860 the estate came to Christian Gottlob Weiß from Kulmbach , who started the first underground brown coal mining near Kleinstädteln in 1870 . Later his daughter Albertine von Posern took over the property. In 1925 Elfriede von Wallwitz and Egon von Posern sold the manor to the Sächsische Werke corporation in Dresden, which dealt with the extraction of lignite and its utilization in the Böhlen / Espenhain area .
Big cities as a community
Großstädteln was first mentioned in a document in 1289. At that time Conrad von Stedelen was the feudal lord of the place. Later the lords of Pflugk and from 1480 the lords of Erdmannsdorf were feudal bearers. They remained in the fiefdom of the place until 1730, when the Großstädteln estate was sold to the Leipzig merchant Peter Hohmann. Großstädteln was part of the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon District Office of Leipzig until 1856 . From 1856 the place belonged to the court office Zwenkau and from 1875 to the administrative authority of Leipzig . Christian Gottlob Weiß from Kulmbach, who acquired the Großstädteln estate in 1860, started the first underground lignite mining near Kleinstädteln in 1870, but this went out after ten years due to ingress of water and poor profitability. In the following period a modest industrialization set in (1902: construction of the “Cellida” celluid goods factory; 1905: opening of the Großstädteln stop on the Leipzig-Hof railway line; 1928: start of production in the “AGGA” nutrient factory).
Großstädteln as a district of Markkleeberg
On April 1, 1937, Großstädeln was incorporated into the town of Markkleeberg, founded in 1934, together with Zöbigker , which grew by around 3,000 inhabitants. Large housing estates emerged along the main street at the end of the 1930s, which more than doubled the number of inhabitants and structurally grew together with Gaschwitz .
In the following decades, two opencast mines advanced from the south towards Gaschwitz. In the west, the Zwenkau opencast mine reached the western local border around 1970/72, and then swung to the west. From the east, the Espenhain opencast mine cut off the town from its eastern surroundings around 1975. 1967 to 1972 the eastern districts were relocated to this. Großstädteln was therefore at the northern beginning of the route corridor to Böhlen in the south, which had to be spared from lignite mining, as the newly laid trunk road 2, the Leipzig-Hof railway line and the new course of the Pleiße ran through it. After the shutdown of the opencast mines and the subsequent flooding of the remaining holes, Großstädteln is now between Lake Cospuden in the west and Lake Markkleeberger in the east.
traffic
Großstädteln is located at the northern end of the route corridor between Markkleeberg and Böhlen , which had to be preserved between the Zwenkau and Espenhain opencast mines. The newly traversed Bundesstraße 2 and the railway line Leipzig – Hof , at which Großstädteln has a stop, run in a narrow space next to the new Pleiße river bed . This is also served by the S-Bahn Central Germany . Until the end of passenger traffic in 2002, Großstädteln was also a stop on the railway line to Leipzig-Plagwitz .
