The Kröllwitz district is located on the banks of the Saale, directly at the Saale breakthrough in the West district, opposite the Giebichenstein district with the clearly visible Giebichenstein Castle , which today houses an art college .

In the north of the district rises the 119 m high Ochsenberg, it is covered by a green area. On the banks of the Saale is the old Kröllwitz paper mill, an old ruined factory that was once driven by a weir in the Saale. This is where Ecknelkenpapier was produced between 1760 and 1804 under the direction of Georg Christoph and Philipp Sebastian Ludwig Keferstein.

history

Menhir on the Kröllwitz burial mound

The area around Kröllwitz was already settled in the Neolithic Age, as evidenced by a grave mound at the university hospital , grave mounds near Lettin and a fortification on Bischofswiese from the Baalberg culture (4100–3600 BC) and the Bernburg culture (3300–2800 BC). Chr.).

The place was first mentioned in 1291 as Crolewiz . At that time Kröllwitz was still a Sorbian fishing village. Later, in 1714, the paper mill was built on the banks of the Saale. Due to chemical experiments at the end of the 19th century, this caused high levels of environmental pollution.

Kröllwitz, until 1815 in the spelling "Cröllwitz" belonged to the Giebichenstein office in the hall circle of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . In 1680 the place came with the Saalkreis to the Duchy of Magdeburg under Brandenburg-Prussian rule.

With the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, Cröllwitz was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia and assigned to the Halle district in the Saale department. The place belonged to the canton Halle-Land . After Napoleon's defeat and the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia, Napoleon's allied opponents liberated the Saalkreis in early October 1813. During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Kröllwitz was attached to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816 and assigned to the Saalkreis.

The Kröllwitz cemetery was established in 1899.

On April 1, 1900, Kröllwitz was incorporated into Halle (Saale).

Due to its location on the Saale, the flatter parts of Kröllwitz, such as the Talstrasse , were often hit by floods, for example in 2013 .
