Kattersnaundorf is a modern desert that was located southwest of Delitzsch and with its district Werbelin fell victim to lignite mining by the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine . Today the corridor is west of the Werbeliner lake and belongs to the municipality Rackwitz in the district of North Saxony (Free State of Saxony ).

Geographical location

Kattersnaundorf was in the Leipzig lowland bay between Delitzsch in the north and Leipzig in the south. The corridor of the former place is now between the Werbeliner See in the east and the Grabsützer See in the west. The Giniken Trench was west of the place.

history

Around 1158 Kattersnaundorf was mentioned as "Kattersnyendorp". The place belonged to the electoral office of Delitzsch until 1815 . He came to Prussia through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna and in 1816 was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony , to which he belonged until 1952. Around 1880, 164 people lived in the agricultural village.

In the course of the district reform in the GDR in 1952, Kattersnaundorf was assigned to the newly tailored Delitzsch district in the Leipzig district. On January 1, 1957, Werbelin was incorporated . The decision made at the 8th SED party congress in 1971 to "expand the energy base" in the GDR made the rural district of Delitzsch a mining area. For the extraction of lignite in the area around Delitzsch the opening of five opencast mines was planned. As a result, Kattersnaundorf was declared a mining protection area, i. This means that no new buildings were allowed to be built in the place, no more extensive repairs were carried out and no more burials were carried out in the place. With the opening of the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine in 1976, the extensive mining of lignite began in the immediate vicinity northeast of Kattersnaundorf. As a result, the 185 residents of the town were the first to leave their homes in 1981. They were relocated to the new development area Delitzsch-Nord, to Rackwitz and to Gertitz . The devastated corridor of Kattersnaundorf and the district of Werbelin have been managed from Zschortau since 1981 .

The opencast mine, pivoting counterclockwise around a point north of Werbelin, also reached the Werbelin district at the end of the 1980s. For this reason, the 130 residents of Werbelin were resettled in 1990–91. Since the early closure of the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine was decided upon with the German reunification in 1989/90, the devastation of Werbelin, carried out in 1992, took place amid massive protests by the population. The open-cast mine was closed just one year later, so that the actual site of Werbelin was no longer dredged.

Kattersnaundorf today

The corridors of Kattersnaundorf and Werbelin belonged to Zschortau after the devastation of the places. With its incorporation on March 1, 2004, it came to the municipality of Rackwitz .

In 1998, the main remaining hole began to be flooded, creating the Werbeliner Lake named after Werbelin. The lake, which has been completely flooded since 2010, is the largest in the former Delitzsch / Breitenfeld opencast mining area with 440 hectares of water surface. The smaller Grabschützer See has been filling with rising groundwater since 1997. It is used exclusively for nature conservation. The former site of the daytime facilities of the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine northeast of the Werbeliner See is intended for leisure and recreational use.
