history
The still widely visible dungeon was built around 936 as a base in the since 929 affiliated Slavic Ostmark. It can be assumed that the land to the right of the Saale, perhaps partly as far as the Mulde, belonged to the empire as the Sorbian Mark, which means border region, since Carolingian times. In the 12th century the tower was raised and together with other buildings it formed a castle. The Hohenthurm castle later belonged to the Landsberg mark and was owned by ministerials who were the castle people of Landsberg. The Thuringian Landgrave, Albrecht the Degenerate , pledged the rule as part of the Margraviate of Landsberg to the Ascanian Margrave Heinrich of Brandenburg , from whose hands it came in turn as a pledge to Duke Magnus of Braunschweig. Friedrich II. , The serious one, Margrave of Meißen , bought back the Mark Landsberg in 1347 for 8,000 shock groschen . Hohenthurm was added to the Reideburg castle district and finally remained with the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . Hohenthurm was under the rule of various noble families and belonged to the hall circle of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg. Except for the tower and church, Hohenthurm Castle was destroyed in the Schmalkaldic War in 1547 .
With the annexation of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg to Prussia, Hohenthurm belonged to the Brandenburg-Prussian Duchy of Magdeburg from 1680 . The place was so close to the Electoral Saxon border that the sheep farm of the noble estate was already in the Electoral Saxon area. The current district of Rosenfeld also belonged to the Electoral Saxony and was subordinate to the Delitzsch office.
With the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, Hohenthurm was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia and assigned to the Halle district in the Saale department. It belonged to the Halle-Land . 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, Hohenthurm was attached to the administrative district of Merseburg in the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816 and assigned to the Saalkreis. Rosenfeld also came to the Prussian Saalkreis by ceding the Kingdom of Saxony.
On September 30, 1928, the Hohenturm manor district was merged with the rural communities of Hohenthurm and Rosenfeld to form the new rural community of Hohenthurm. Until 1945 the place was the seat of the family of the Counts von Wuthenau .
The place was incorporated into the city of Landsberg on September 1, 2010. As part of the first district reform in the GDR was Zwebendorf the newly cut on July 1, 1950 Saalkreis assigned and incorporated to Hohenthurm. The two places were reclassified to Reussen on October 1, 1965.
At Hohenthurm there was a collision between an interzonal train (transit train) and a passenger train of the Deutsche Reichsbahn on February 29, 1984 after the locomotive driver of the interzonal train had passed three signals showing "Halt" . 11 people from the passenger train died, 76 were injured, some seriously.
