location

Kleindalzig is about 2.5 kilometers southwest of Zwenkau city center. The Elstermühlgraben runs south of the settlement and flows into the White Elster approx. 400 meters from the town center. In the course of lignite mining , the White Elster was relocated to a new river bed between Zwenkau and Leipzig between 1972 and 1977. In this context, today's course of the Mühlgraben and its mouth at Kleindalzig was created.

Kleindalzig was originally a Slavic settlement and has the typical shape of a cul-de-sac village with block u. Strip floor . The place was first mentioned in documents in 1367 as Wenigen Daltzag . Until the 19th century the village consisted of only one street with two short dead ends towards Elstermühlgraben. The mill ditch was created in the 12th century by the monks of the Pegau monastery and primarily served to drive several water mills. Such is also proven in Kleindalzig. After 1825, further residential buildings were built across today's Wiederauer Strasse. At the Elstermühlgraben there is a small public green area (Mühlpark).

In 1548, the manor was part of the manors of Wiederau and Reuden . In 1696 it belonged to the Oderwitz Manor , and again to the Wiederau Manor in 1764. The administrative affiliation was from 1548 to the middle of the 19th century with the Pegau office , then from 1856 with the Zwenkau court office . In the course of an administrative reform in Saxony, Großdalzig came to Leipzig in 1875 . On January 1, 1952, Kleindalzig was incorporated into Großdalzig and thus assigned to the Leipzig-Land district . Since October 1, 1993, Großdalzig and its districts, including Kleindalzig, belong to the city of Zwenkau. Ecclesiastically, the village has been part of the Großdalzig parish since it was founded.

Economy and Transport

The most important branch of the economy is traditionally agriculture. Kleindalzig was also the location of a watermill on Elstermühlgraben. A purchase contract from 1668 documents the sale of this mill by Alexander von Draschwitz , manor owner from Oderwitz, to the Kleindalziger miller Lorenz Helmberger.

In 1920 the engineer Max Gildemeister bought the mill in Kleindalzig. It burned down in 1925 and was rebuilt a little later as a factory for the production of technical gases. From 1926 the company operated as Elster-Oxygen-Werk from Ing.Max Gildemeister, Kleindalzig . However, the economic competition with IG Farbenindustrie AG forced him to deregister his company in 1928. In the same year he founded the Elster-Oxygen-Werk Max Gildemeister GmbH with the participation of IG Farben . The company, which was placed under forced administration after the end of the war, was transferred to public ownership in 1948 and renamed VVB (Z) Oxyka Elster -oxidwerk Kleindalzig . Later he belonged to VEB Technische Gase Leipzig .

Kleindalzig is connected to the neighboring town of Großdalzig and the federal highway 186 via the K 7958 district road . There is a bus connection to Zwenkau and Knautkleeberg .
