history

Teicha was first mentioned in a document in 961. The district of Groitsch, which was mentioned in a document in 952, is older. This formerly owned a moated castle. Löbnitz, an old Sorbian settlement, was first mentioned in 1270. Räthern, a clearing settlement first mentioned in 1371, belongs to Lehndorf, which was created as a colonial settlement.

The Romanesque church at Teicha was built on an old Slavic cult site. Church and village belonged to the Giebichenstein office , but came into the possession of the Petersberg monastery Neuwerk in 1120 . The church is dedicated to St. Moritz, the patron saint of the Saxon period. Like Teicha, Groitsch, Löbnitz, Lehndorf and Räthern also belonged to the Giebichenstein office in the hall circle of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . With its annexation to Prussia, from 1680 they belonged to the Brandenburg-Prussian Duchy of Magdeburg .

The imperial army encamped in Halle in 1546 also tyrannized Teicha. The village was hit even worse during the Thirty Years' War, when the plague claimed many victims in 1636. Austrians and Imperial troops extorted high contributions in the Seven Years' War in 1761. The French also visited Teicha (1806). They looted and destroyed the inventory of the church and killed the pastor . With the Peace of Tilsit , the place and its four present-day districts were incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 and assigned to the Halle district in the Saale department. They belonged to the canton of Neumarkt . After Napoleon's defeat and the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia, Napoleon's allied opponents liberated the Saalkreis in early October 1813. During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the five places were attached to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816 and assigned to the Saalkreis.

Numerous resettlers came to Teicha in the 1950s . In the eighties and from 1994 many private homes were built in Teicha without affecting the village structure. This is one of the reasons why the community took first place in the 6th state competition “Our village has a future”.
