Geographical location

Klostermansfeld is located in the eastern Harz foreland. This strip of land is also called Mansfelder Land , after the town of Mansfeld, northwest of Klostermansfeld . In addition to flat hilly plateaus, there are valleys and grounds around Klostermansfeld in which smaller streams flow. These include the Alte Wipper in the northeastern Möchsgrund and the Wilde Graben in the so-called Hegegrund southeast of Klostermansfeld. A few kilometers to the northwest, the river Wipper formed a deep valley in which the nearest country towns of Mansfeld and Hettstedt are located. The next small town is Lutherstadt Eisleben, seven kilometers south-east .

Starting in Klostermansfeld, a band of settlements stretches south to Wimmelburg . Like Klostermansfeld itself, these belong to the Mansfelder Grund-Helbra association, which has its administrative headquarters in Helbra .

There are also many arable land around Klostermansfeld.

history

Klostermansfeld monastery church

Already in the 8th century the region around Klostermansfeld was a destination for missionary activities of the monastery in Fulda . At that time, the border areas of the then Holy Roman Empire extended here to the east as far as the Saale . Settlement remains of the Slavic peoples living here at that time were found on the so-called Siebenhitze , where the Halde 81 stands today in the southwest of today's Klostermansfeld.

Klostermansfeld was first mentioned as Mannesfeld on October 22nd, 973 in an exchange document of King Otto II , in which he confirmed an exchange between Archbishop Adalbert of Magdeburg and the Abbot Werinher of Fulda. Around 1040 a Benedictine monastery was founded in Mansfeld, which after only 19 years joined the Order of the Tale Josaphat. The complex was badly damaged during the Peasant War in 1525, but the monastery church was rebuilt and is now a station on the Romanesque Road .

In the Middle Ages, the village of Bockstal was located in the Hegegrund southeast of Klostermansfeld, but it only existed for a short time. Today there is the Bockstal stop of the Mansfeld mine railway between the old village center and Klostermansfeld .

Piles of copper slate mining in Klostermansfeld and the water tower

After the monastery was converted into a count's office by Count Gebhard von Mansfeld-Hinterort in 1526, the population initially consisted of farmers who earned their living in the surrounding fields. At the beginning of the 18th century there were 31 kossats and five half-spouses . Due to the advent of mining, the population increased significantly, so in 1780 there were already over 600 people in Klostermansfeld. In the mines in the area, a copper- and silver-containing slate was first extracted by laborious manual labor . In the later years the pits became increasingly deeper and the workforce larger. Larger operations in Klostermansfeld were the Theodorschacht on the road to Mansfeld and the shaft 81 (named after the light hole number 81 of the key tunnel ) directly in the village. The mined material was processed into metals in so-called huts in the area. One such stand, for example, on the Hettstedt - Eisleben road (today B180 ), where it crosses the Hegegrund. In the later years the mining migrated eastwards to the circular shaft.

In 1809 Klostermansfeld was connected to the railway network via the so-called Kanonenbahn . The construction of this route by bridging the source of the Böse Sieben southwest of Klostermansfeld and the subsequent tunneling under the Hornburg saddle near Blankenheim was considered a technical masterpiece at the time.

After the Mansfelder Land fell to Prussia , Klostermansfeld was on the southern border of the so-called Mansfeld mountain range in the province of Saxony . The neighboring town of Benndorf was already in the so-called Mansfeld Lake District . In the German Democratic Republic from 1945 Klostermansfeld was initially in the newly founded state of Saxony-Anhalt. After the reorganization of the GDR into districts in 1952 Klostermansfeld came then to the district hall , county Eisleben . After the turn of the peaceful revolution that Mansfeld came to set up again State of Saxony-Anhalt and was down reorganized on several occasions, as was Klostermansfeld until the circle Eisleben, then from 1994 in the new Mansfeld county land , which finally in 2007 with the old circle Sangerhausen to current district of Mansfeld-Südharz was united.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was awarded on March 6, 1939 by the Upper President of the Province of Saxony.

Blazon : “Quartered; Field 1 and 4: in silver six (3: 3) red diamonds (coat of arms of the Counts of Mansfeld); Field 2: in blue the diagonally crossed golden mountain hammers; Field 3: in blue a golden three-leaf clover. "

The oldest seal shows a church building covered with the shield of the Counts of Mansfeld; a seal from the 18th century, on the other hand, shows the clover leaf (as the actual community symbol) and the mountain hammers. The new coat of arms was created from these symbols, whereby the image of the church was discontinued in accordance with the new regulations.

The coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg State Archives Councilor Otto Korn .

Shifts of the sounds o to u ( Uhstern instead of Easter), ei to ä ( tracks instead of legs), e to i ( sihre instead of very) and äu to ai ( baime instead of trees).
