history
The "Zeitz" settlement dates back to the time of the Slavic settlement of the area to the left of the Saale. The place name goes back to the Slavic words '' zitci '' or '' ciza '' meaning '' granary '' or '' goddess of suckling ''. After the territory to the left of the Saale was conquered by Otto I in the 10th century , the Zeitz settlement belonged to his royal estate. His son Otto II gave the royal estate and other possessions in the area south of Bernburg to his sister Mathilde von Quedlinburg , who was the abbess of the Quedlinburg dynasty . The Zeitz settlement came through the Quedlinburg monastery as an afterfeed to the Counts of Barby . Later the Electors of Saxony were the overlords over the place.
There has been evidence of a noble family in the Zeitz settlement since 1128. A monk by the name of "Conradus de Cize" lived in the Petersberg monastery near Halle (Saale) that year . After the von Zeitz family died out in the 15th century, the Lords of Dieskau came into possession of the Zeitz settlement for a short time . Hermann von Trotha was enfeoffed in 1446 with all goods including rights and income in Zeitz. The name "Haus Zeitz" goes back to Hans von Trotha (* around 1450; † 1503), who in 1497 acquired the property of today's castle ruins, because he declared the Zeitz settlement to be his residence and built a castle ("house") there let. From 1561 Haus Zeitz was owned by the von Krosigk family through marriage . For financial reasons, had the house of Krosigk Zeitz, as well as the neighboring, under jurisdiction of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg standing Belleben , to the family of Lochau sell who owned the place since 1612th
After the Lords of Lochau died out in 1684, the Saxon elector, under whose suzerainty the place was, looked for a new person interested in the palace in Zeitz. He found this in 1685 in Prince Johann Georg II of Anhalt-Dessau , who, however, sold the place to his relative Viktor Amadeus of Anhalt-Bernburg a short time later . He had the castle rebuilt and expanded between 1688 and 1692. After the son of Viktor Amadeus, Prince Lebrecht von Anhalt-Bernburg , had acquired the lordships of Schaumburg and Holzappel (both near Limburg an der Lahn ), this property became part of the Anhalt office of Hoym , the Zeitz family was under the rule of the Electorate of Saxony and since 1680 under Prussian - Magdeburg sovereignty, the town of Belleben is united under the sideline Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym . The Zeitz house and the neighboring Belleben formed the Fürstlich-Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburgische Amt Zeitz. Haus Zeitz remained in the possession of this sideline until the Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym family died out in 1812. Thereafter, the Zeitz and Belleben estates became the subject of a legal dispute, which was only decided in 1828 in favor of the main line from Anhalt-Bernburg.
State sovereignty over Belleben had passed to the Kingdom of Westphalia as early as 1807 with the French occupation of the Prussian Saalkreis . House Zeitz, which was previously under electoral or royal Saxon sovereignty, was also ceded to the Kingdom of Westphalia. Belleben and Haus Zeitz belonged to the canton of Alsleben in the Halle district of the Saale department until 1813 . 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, when the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede large parts of its territory to Prussia, Haus Zeitz was attached to the administrative district of Merseburg of the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816 and, like Belleben, was assigned to the Mansfeld Lake District . After the Anhalt-Bernburg line died out in 1863 with Duke Alexander Carl von Anhalt-Bernburg , the Zeitz estate fell to his widow and sister. The Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg has now been united with Anhalt-Dessau to form the Duchy of Anhalt . Zeitz Castle was in decline towards the end of the 19th century. After the monarchy in Germany was abolished as a result of the November Revolution in 1918, Haus Zeitz remained a ducal-Anhaltian domain . The exterior facade was renovated in 1922 and the castle roof in 1938. The castle has served as a domicile for farm workers from Poland and the German eastern regions since the 1920s. Around 1930 the manor district Haus Zeitz was dissolved and incorporated into the Belleben community.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Zeitz House was in the Soviet occupation zone . The von Anhalt family was expropriated in 1946 as part of the land reform . The agricultural land was distributed to new farmers , and numerous expellees were housed in the castle. Later the castle fell into disrepair. With the first district reform in the GDR, Haus Zeitz was incorporated into the Bernburg district as part of Belleben . As a result of the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the place became part of the Bernburg district in the Halle district , which became the Bernburg district in 1990 and was added to the Salzlandkreis in 2007. On January 1, 2005, Belleben was incorporated into the town of Könnern, making Haus Zeitz a part of the village of Belleben.
