history

Church of Hohenkirchen

Like the northeastern Kaynaic villages of Tanna , Naundorf , Wernsdorf and Kleinbraunshain in what is now Thuringia , Hohenkirchen was an exclave until 1815 that belonged to the Borna district of Saxony . It did not belong, like the rest of the places in today's Schnaudertal community, to the Zeitz administrative district .

As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the exclave with Hohenkirchen and the five Kaynaic villages that had previously belonged to the Borna district came to Prussia in 1815 . The area became part of the newly formed district of Zeitz in the administrative district of Merseburg in the province of Saxony in 1816 . After the dissolution of the Prussian province of Saxony (1815–1944), the administrative district of Merseburg became the province of Halle-Merseburg (1944–1945) on July 1, 1944 , to which Hohenkirchen in the Zeitz district now also belonged. After the Second World War , Hohenkirchen came to the state of Saxony-Anhalt.

On July 1, 1950 Hohenkirchen as the neighboring Brown grove after Bröckau incorporated. With the administrative reform in the GDR on July 25, 1952, Hohenkirchen became part of the municipality of Bröckau in the Schmölln district in the Leipzig district . When the municipality of Bröckau (without the district Braunshain) was reorganized on January 1, 1956 into the Zeitz district in the Halle district , Hohenkirchen became the southernmost place in the Halle district. Hohenkirchen has been the southernmost town in the state of Saxony-Anhalt since 1990. As a district of the municipality of Bröckau, Hohenkirchen came to the Burgenlandkreis in 1994 with the administrative district Zeitz and on January 1, 2010 to the municipality Schnaudertal. Since then, Bröckau and Hohenkirchen have formed a common district.
