Hohenziatz is a village and a district of Möckern in the district of Jerichower Land in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

Hohenziatz is eight kilometers northeast of the capital Möckern and is connected to it by the 1230 district road. The place lies on the Elbe tributary Ihle and is surrounded by agricultural land. With the exception of the eastern direction, there are forest areas from the very wooded and 25,063 hectare protected landscape area Möckern-Magedeburgerforth . The district of the place belongs to the western Fläming plateau , a heather or grassy forest landscape of the north German lowlands. The terrain here reaches heights of around 90 meters. Hohenziatz is poorly located in terms of traffic, the next federal road runs through Möckern, from there there is a connection to the federal motorway 2 (twelve kilometers) and to the district town of Burg .

history

Hohenziatz owes its existence to the Slavic settlement Ziazinauizi, today Lüttgenziatz. Ziazinauizi is 992 in a document of the German King Otto III. Mentioned for the first time in a document about an exchange with the Memleben monastery. In the course of the German colonization of the East Elbe areas, a place was created about three kilometers south of the Slavic settlement with immigrants from the western areas. It is mentioned in writing for the first time in 1187 under the name "villa Zojas" in the inventory of the Leitzkau monastery . In the further course of the story, the place name changes to Hohenziatz in various spellings from 1562 onwards, with "Hohen ..." indicating a German settlement, while "Lüttgen" -ziatz indicates the Slavic inhabitants.

Favored by the location on the old Heerstraße Brandenburg – Magdeburg , an important trade route that crossed the Ihle at Hohenziatz, the place developed quickly. In 1308 ownership changed from the Archdiocese of Magdeburg to Lehnin Monastery . In 1420 this enfeoffed the von Arnstedt family with Hohenziatz, and from 1620 to 1725 the place was in the hands of the Brand von Lindau family. In 1533 a customs post in Brandenburg was set up and a relay station for changing horses was established. The post office of Cleveschen Post, which existed until 1819 for the Poststrasse Magdeburg - Berlin, developed from it. It was not until the Chaussee Magdeburg - Burg - Berlin was completed in 1819 that Hohenziatz lost its convenient location. From then on only agriculture was important for the place.

After the secularization of the dioceses as a result of the Thirty Years War , Hohenziatz came under the sovereignty of the Brandenburg-Prussian state in 1680 . With the Prussian administrative reform of 1815, the place was incorporated into the Jerichow I district. In 1910 the village of Hohenziatz had 609 and the independent manor district of Hohenziatz 107 inhabitants. On September 30, 1928, the manor districts of Hohenziatz and Lüttgenziatz were combined with the rural community of Hohenziatz. After the incorporation of the two manor districts and through immigration in the 1930s, the population had risen to 783 in 1939. When the GDR restructured its territorial administration in 1952, Hohenziatz came to the Burg district in the GDR district of Magdeburg. The number of inhabitants rose further to 920 in 1964 and fell again to 801 by 1973. After German reunification, the district of Jerichower Land became responsible for Hohenziatz in 1994 . On January 1, 2004, Hohenziatz was incorporated into the city of Möckern.

Attractions

South view of St. Stephen's Church

At the highest point of the place, on the north bank of the Ihle, the St. Stephen's Church was built in the middle of the 12th century . The Romanesque building is divided into a west tower, nave, choir and apse and was made of granite stones. While the tower and nave are the same width, the choir and apse are each smaller. The transversely rectangular tower has a hipped roof, the nave and choir share a saddle roof, the semicircular apse is covered with half a conical roof. The twelve by ten meter nave can be entered through a rectangular portal in the south wall. Two small round arched and two basket arched windows are embedded in each of the two long walls. The choir, which is only eight meters wide, also has an inlet with a small arched priest's gate in the south wall and two arched windows in each of the outer walls. In the apse there is a small arched window to the east. The church was initially built without a tower, but it was already planned in the planning and was obviously built by the same craftsmen. It has a floor plan of ten by six meters. Its southwest corner collapsed in 1849 and had to be completely rebuilt.

The nave has a flat roof and a west gallery. The polygonal pulpit was made of wood, bears the family crest Brand von Lindau and von Rochow and is dated 1693. Above it is a sound cover with a crown-like structure. The sandstone baptismal font also bears the family coat of arms and is dated 1671. Its earlier Romanesque form was apparently revised later. The organ created by Carl Joseph Chwaltal in 1843 was adorned with a late baroque front .
