history
Linear ceramic settlements
Karsdorf first became known in 2015 through the determination of the genetic origins of two individuals. The older, male individual "KAR6a" was with 5207-5070 cal. BC. Dated to the early Neolithic line ceramic and assigned to haplogroup H (mtDNA) 1 and haplogroup T (Y-DNA) 1a.
Corded ceramic settlements
The younger, female individual "KAR22a" was 2564–2475 cal. Dated to the time of the late Neolithic cord ceramics and assigned to the haplogroup T (mtDNA) 1a1.
Post-Christian settlements
Saint Laurentius as the patron saint of the Karsdorf village church and Saint Martin von Tours for the church of the lost village of Bünisdorf (also Pinsdorf ) represent this early origin. In a register of the tithe of the Hersfeld monastery , which was created between 881 and 899, Karsdorf is mentioned for the first time in a document as the place of Coriledorpf im Friesenfeld , which is subject to compulsory tithing .
Karsdorf, which was founded as a Franconian foundation on the old Franconian, Wine or Copper Road, is mentioned in a document in 1109 as Karlestorph . The name "Karlestorph" has nothing to do with the karst that is shown in the seal, but rather is to be understood as "Karl's village", the clearly known Franconian name. The seal of the place, on the other hand, clearly relates to the local viticulture, which was already widespread under the Franks and was first documented in the 12th century.
It was built directly at the ford through the Unstrut , and a castle was soon built on the Hohe Gräte to protect it.It was first owned by the Counts of Mansfeld , then passed on to the noble lords of Querfurt and whose legacy was in in the second half of the 15th century largely fell to the Wettins . The research is also based on a second castle site.
The location on the Unstrut and Unstrutfurt, which existed only a few meters from the current Karsdorfer Bridge, was decisive for the establishment of the place and its further development. This ford crossed the Kupferstrasse , the old artery that was a continuation of the Königsstrasse. The large copper transports from Mansfeld to Eisleben to Nuremberg and further south went through them .
In Karsdorf, the von Rockhausen family , lords on church divisions, owned a noble farm from 1428 to 1608.
Since 1469 at the latest, Duke Wilhelm III. Karsdorf fully integrated into the Freyburg office as an administrative village . The place was the seat of a separate district court chair with special judges and lay judges. A court was held here and representatives of the associated villages were summoned.
In 1589 61 landlords lived in the village, including 20 Anspänner and 41 Hintersättler. After the devastating fire of 1608, to which 117 residential houses "including the beautiful, newly built church, parish, school, mill, brewery, bakery and wine press" fell victim, the von Rockhausen people gave up their goods there. On April 29, 1823, a fire caused by a murderous burner devastated 16 houses in the village and numerous cattle.
The area around Karsdorf was significantly enlarged by the desolate villages in the area, including Siegerstedt (881/899: Sigiristat , 1589: Seigerstett ), Bünsdorf ( Bunisdorp , 1589: Bunßdorf ) and Wölbitz ( Wülbiz , 1589: Welfitz ).
The core of the church is still late Gothic, but it was given its current appearance after the renovation in 1701 and in the 19th century. The baroque cartouche above the tower clock recorded the year of construction 1701 in inscriptions. The bell in the tower dates from 1666 and was made in the workshop of the Magdeburg foundryman Jakob Wenzel.
In 1767 Christiane Schnabel , Robert Schumann's mother , was baptized in the church, a plaque on the church commemorates this.
1815 came Karsdorf the circle Querfurt the governmental district Merseburg the Prussian province of Saxony . During the GDR era, the place belonged to the Nebra district .
In 1927 the Karsdorf cement works was founded. A locational advantage was the occurrence of limestone and various clay minerals near Karsdof.
During the Second World War , numerous women and men from the countries occupied by Germany had to do forced labor in the cement factory , which resulted in many deaths.
The great demand for cement in the GDR led to the fact that the plant deactivated its environmental technology, which would have made production more expensive or slowed down. The result was pollution of the environment with cement dust and ash from the kiln . With the takeover of the plant by LAFARGE in 1990, the plant became one of the most modern and efficient plants in the Lafarge Group by the year 2000.
In 2015, the skeletal remains of an old resident of Karsdorf who belonged to the linear ceramic culture (7200 BP) were analyzed . The parts turned out to belong to the paternal part of the T1a-M70 lineage and to the maternal part of the H1 line.

politics
mayor

Municipal council
Since the local elections on May 25, 2014, the 12-member city council has been composed as follows:
The turnout was 44.9%.
coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved by the district on June 1, 2010.
Blazon : "In gold over a blue corrugated shield base covered with two silver wavy lines, two diagonally crossed two-pronged black karsts, the prongs pointing outwards, accompanied on both sides by a blue grape with green leaves and black tendrils."
The coat of arms was designed by the local heraldist Jörg Mantzsch and approved by the local council on February 17, 2010. Karsdorf led in 19./20. Century an image seal, which in the upper coat of arms shows Saint Laurentius as the patron saint of the village church and in the shield three crossed karsts.
In this case, a karst is not to be understood as a geological formation of carbonate rock; the karst (also two- / three-tooth) referred to here is a tool with two (more seldom also three) sturdy prongs bent at right angles, which is derived from the hoe.
Although this form of hoe was / is traditionally also used in viticulture for loosening soil, it has no direct reference to the place name. Etymologically, the name has nothing to do with the Karst. Nevertheless, the tool was used earlier in the seal and forms a so-called "talking coat of arms" as the main symbol of the new coat of arms (such as Magdeburg, Klötze, Elsterwerda, etc.). The more than thousand-year-old tradition of viticulture and the location of all districts on the Unstrut are expressed through grapes and a wavy shield base.
The colors of the parish are blue - yellow.
flag
The flag of the municipality of Karsdorf is striped blue - yellow (1: 1) (horizontal shape: stripes running horizontally, longitudinal shape: stripes running vertically) and centered with the municipal coat of arms.

The new Erfurt – Leipzig / Halle line runs across the 2668 m long Unstruttal bridge north past the town.
Industry
The municipality's main employer is the Karsdorf cement plant, which belongs to Cement Roadstone Holding through Opterra GmbH . Today around 200 people work in the cement plant, which produces for the national and international market. The cement industry, which originated in Karsdorf in 1928, is still formative in this place today. This development was very much influenced by the many natural occurrences of limestone, clay and sand. The raw materials are extracted in the Karsdorf opencast mine and processed in the cement works.
