Kayna villages
The Kaynaic villages were a collection of several electoral Saxon villages between the Zeitz monastery area (later the Electoral Saxon office Zeitz ) and the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg ( district office Altenburg ). Until 1815 they belonged to the Borna Electoral Office as exclaves . As a result of the Congress of Vienna , they were given to Prussia and integrated into the Prussian province of Saxony .
Geographical location
The five Kaynaic villages are located in today's border area of the federal states of Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt near the eponymous village of Kayna , which today belongs to Zeitz . However, this did not belong to the Kaynaic villages. The places Naundorf, Tanna, Wernsdorf and Braunshain are today in the Thuringian district of Altenburger Land and belong to the municipality of Starkenberg or, in the case of Braunshain, to the town of Schmölln . Due to their ownership history, they are some of the few villages in the Altenburger Land that historically did not belong to Saxony-Altenburg. Today Penkwitz belongs to the municipality of Elsteraue in the Burgenlandkreis (Saxony-Anhalt).
In the vicinity of the Kaynaic villages there were two further exclaves of the Electoral Saxon Office Borna, which also came to the Prussian province of Saxony in 1815 and are now also in the Burgenland district. These were the now belonging to Zeitz location Suxdorf and today the community Schnaudertal associated district Hohenkirchen .
history
The origins of the five Kaynaic villages Tanna, Wernsdorf, Naundorf, Penkwitz and Kleinbraunshain lay in their belonging to the Kayna manor , which is why the name "Kaynaic villages" became established. The five villages later belonged to the Kleinbraunshain manor west of Altenburg . In addition to Kleinbraunshain, his property included the villages of Tanna, Wernsdorf and Naundorf, as well as Penkwitz near Meuselwitz , as contiguous territory . This area lay between the Zeitz monastery area and the Altenburg office belonging to the Duchy of Saxony- Altenburg and was administered by the Borna office of the Electorate of Saxony .
Through the treaties of the Congress of Vienna , the Kaynaic villages as well as the neighboring exclaves Suxdorf and Hohenkirchen and the Zeitz office were ceded to the newly formed Prussian province of Saxony in 1815. They were in 1816 the county Zeitz in the administrative district of Merseburg allocated to the province of Saxony, ended whereby the Exklavenstatus.
As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Naundorf, Tanna, Wernsdorf, Kleinbraunshain came to the Schmölln district in the Leipzig district in 1952 , which had belonged to Thuringia since 1990 and was added to the Altenburger Land district in 1994 . Penkwitz, on the other hand, stayed with the Zeitz district in the Halle district and thus came to the state of Saxony-Anhalt in 1990 and to the Burgenland district in 1994 .
