The Leipzig district of Hohenheida is a former village on the northern outskirts of Leipzig . It is now part of the district Seehausen in the district Nord.

Location and description

Hohenheida is located about ten kilometers north-northeast of Leipzig city center. Its neighbors are from north to east Krostitz , Mutschlena , Gottscheina , Merkwitz , Plaußig , Seehausen and Göbschelwitz . Between Hohenheida and Plaussig is the site of the BMW plant , the northern border of which is about 700 meters from Hohenheida.

The old part of Hohenheida with rural development is a similar round village with a clear round structure in the east, wide farm front gardens and the church on the Anger as well as a road stretching to the west. Further to the west there is a settlement area with around 100 owner-occupied homes that was created after 1990, which means that the population has doubled from 306 in 1990. There are numerous half-timbered buildings under the buildings . The inn is built in the local style.

  • Village church

  • Am Anger with a church pond

  • Gasthof Hohenheida

  • "The new German Michel"

There are four ponds in the village: north of the church the church pond, south the sparrow pond, in the western part of the Angers the village pond and at the beginning of the western settlement the kindergarten pond. The ponds are only fed by rainwater; Hohenheida has no running waters. The Anger is a meadow area available to the general public, at the western end of which is the memorial for the fallen of the First World War , surrounded by oaks planted in 1922, and to the east of it a wooden sculpture made in 2009 from a Hohenheida poplar "The new German Michel" .

history

The church around 1840

Between 600 and 900 Slavic settlers built a round village, which was expanded by German settlers in the 12th century. Around 1350 the village of Ucztemicz still existed north of it, but it soon fell into desolation and merged into Windysche Heide, as Hohenheida was called in 1399. It was not until 1438 that Hoeheide, a form similar to today's name, appeared. In the same year, Elector Friedrich II. Of Saxony and his brother Wilhelm transferred the feudal lordship over the village and the neighboring villages of Merkwitz and Gottscheina to the University of Leipzig . Since then, they have also been called university villages.

The oldest parts of the church go back to the 13th century. It was rebuilt and expanded several times, for example the tower over the old vault was rebuilt in 1689 and given a baroque hood and the nave was rebuilt in 1715/1716 .

During the Thirty Years' War the village was badly damaged and plundered by the battles near Breitenfeld ( 1631 and 1642 ) and those near Lützen . With the help of the university, all goods devastated by the war had been rebuilt and occupied by 1666. Through the Saxon law on the replacement of 1832, a number of rights of the university were replaced in the following years.

Hohenheida belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon District Office of Leipzig until 1856 . In 1856 the place came to the Taucha court office and in 1875 to the Leipzig administrative authority and in 1952 to the Leipzig-Land district in the Leipzig district and in 1994 to the Leipziger Land district

The agricultural policy of the GDR led to the formation of an agricultural production cooperative (LPG) in 1958 , to which all farmers in the village finally belonged in 1960. In 1974 this merged with those of the neighboring communities to form a Cooperative Plant Production Department (KAP).

In 1957 Gottscheina was incorporated into Hohenheida. Hohenheida came to Seehausen in 1992 and finally to Leipzig with him in 1997.
