geography
Geographical location
Lützschena-Stahmeln includes the districts of Hänichen , Lützschena, Quasnitz and Stahmeln (with the old town centers and the industrial and commercial park). At the time of incorporation, 3450 people lived here, compared to 4067 in 2007.
It stretches along Hallesche Strasse and the White Elster. The course of Leipziger Straße clearly separates two different landscape and vegetation areas: to the north the elevated ground moraine plateau of the Ice Age and to the south the glacial valley of the Elster-Luppe-Aue.
Waters
The landscape of Lützschena-Stahmeln is characterized in the south by the two rivers Weisse Elster and Luppe, which run almost parallel through the area from east to west. In the mid-thirties, flood regulation took place as Elster-Luppe regulation by combining the floods of the Weißer Elster and Luppe in a wide flood channel, called the Elster flood basin . This extends from the Elster basin via Lützschena-Stahmeln to Schkeuditz -Dölzig. Due to the meandering course of the river, the White Elster, the mill in Stahmeln had the disadvantage that a backwater in the underwater of the mill was created during high water. This reduced the hydropower and thus the performance of the mill. In order to remedy this disadvantage, the mill owner at the time participated financially in regulating the White Elster.
While the two most important rivers, the White Elster and Luppe, have hardly changed in the last 60 years, many medium-sized and small rivers have disappeared (dried out) or been piped up. To restore the watercourses, the small rivers should be reactivated. At the end of the 1990s, the cased hunter and railway trenches were brought to light again and planted with bushes.
history
Early history
Lützschena and Stahmeln are among the villages along the Elster-Luppe-Aue that have been inhabited since ancient times. Finds from the Younger Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, from the surrounding area are evidence of the first human dwellings. Since the beginning of our era, the Germanic Hermundurs from the Harz have populated this area. In the course of the Great Migration, the Sorbs pushed them west. The first Sorbs lived in this area around AD 600. The place names of the villages suggest this. Stahmeln probably originated between 600 and 800. The Sorbs settled on the Elster and Luppe rivers and founded the settlement. The name comes from the Sorbian word "Stahmil", which means something like "place of creative joy". Lützschena comes from the Slavic word "lucina" like swamp or swampy. Since 960, the German rule was consolidated by Otto the Great, which led to the establishment of the Merseburg diocese, which also included Stahmeln. People of different ethnicities such as Saxons, Thuringians and Dutch settled and mingled with the Sorbian population.
middle Ages
The mill in Lützschena was first mentioned in 1486. According to the records in the Leipzig Council Archives, it existed earlier. Lützschena and Stahmeln belonged to the Hochstift-Merseburgischen office of Schkeuditz until 1815 , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 .
Recent history
Lützschena remained a small village. It was flooded by the Elster and Luppe rivers almost every year. Around 1750, 15 owners and a few cottagers lived here. The development of the place took off when the rich Leipzig merchant Maximilian Speck came to Lützschena. The jurisdiction lay with the manor Wahren, to which the farmers had to pay their duties and services. In 1822 he bought the indebted manor with the brewery and all of the lands Frau von Klengel, nee. from Uechtritz. Maximilian Speck was a wool merchant. He wanted to breed his own sheep and found a suitable home here. The sheep pens he built back then are still there today. Maximilian Speck raised sheep not only in Saxony; he introduced sheep breeding in Russia and later in Bavaria. He was ennobled by the Russian Tsar for this and the Bavarian King Ludwig I gave him the title of baron. Baron Maximilian Speck von Sternburg brought not only the art of brewing beer from Bavaria, but also a Bavarian master brewer. In 1834 he moved the old house brewery from the estate to the current brewery site north of today's Leipziger Straße and had it rebuilt based on the model of the most modern Munich breweries. His descendants enlarged the brewery and introduced modern technologies. Even after the nationalization in 1945, it remained the largest employer in the region. Until the fall of the Berlin Wall, the famous Sternburg beer was brewed in Lützschena. Baron Maximilian Speck von Sternburg also had the palace gardens redesigned into an English garden.
Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the western part of the Schkeuditz office was ceded to Prussia in 1815. Lützschena and Stahmeln remained with the eastern part of the Kingdom of Saxony and were incorporated into the Leipzig district office. From 1856 the places belonged to the Leipzig II court office and from 1875 to the Leipzig District Administration . Around 1829, around 110 people lived in 27 houses in Stahmeln. You couldn't afford your own school. It was not until June 30, 1898 that Stahmeln became an independent school district and had its own school. Due to its location on Halleschen Strasse, Stahmeln, like the neighboring towns, suffered particularly badly during times of war from the pillaging of troops passing through. For the Leipzig Battle of the Nations in October 1813, the place was totally devastated by the allies. The farmer's footbridge, a movable bridge behind the mill, lay in the water and was not attached again until days later. At that time, this bridge was the only way for farmers to escape undetected into the floodplain forests in the event of danger. After the construction of the new Elsterbrücke in 1850, the Bauernsteg lost its importance and was demolished.
From World War I to the 21st century
A mustard and vinegar factory, a wool factory and a canvas factory were also located. In the north, a marshalling yard was built on the Halle – Leipzig railway line, and many railway employees moved to Stahmeln. Stahmelner citizens worked in the newly created industrial companies such as the Pittler works or the Mitteldeutsche soap factory in neighboring Wahren. Agriculture declined. Of the five former farm estates, only the Rauer inheritance was managed after the Second World War. But the Stahmelner did not want to give up their relationship with nature entirely. The numerous sand pits in the area served a good purpose as gardens. With the construction of the Auenblicksiedlung, Stahmeln also expanded north of Halleschen Strasse after 1936. The population, which had grown at the beginning, declined after the war due to emigration.
Lützschena and his beer
Lützschena and beer - no one would have seriously denied this unity years ago. And even today, the silhouette of the former brewery with the green cupola of the brewhouse and the clock tower of the workshop building defines the landscape, no matter from which direction one approaches the place. In 1785 the privilege to brew and sell beer was granted.
Beer was last brewed in Lützschena on May 15, 1991, after which it was only bottled and delivered. On August 31, 1991 the brewery was finally closed despite the occupation by the workforce, objections from the municipal council and the Protestant parish of Lützschena. The dismantling of the equipment had already started beforehand with the relocation of the drum filling plant to Reudnitz. What was still usable was either taken to Reudnitz or sold, the rest scrapped or thrown in the garbage. Only 50 of the workforce were to continue to be employed in Reudnitz until 1993; all the others were dismissed in August 1991.
The boiler house and the oil containers were torn down, the chimney was blown up on February 16, 1995, and the demolition of the bottle cellar began. What is left is an industrial wasteland that is falling into disrepair. In the case of the listed buildings of the brewhouse, workshop and garages, too, a condition has arisen due to neglect of maintenance that makes demolition appear inevitable in the end. Plans by Brau und Brunnen AG from 1996 to build a community center (residential, commercial, administrative and service areas) on the brewery premises, including the listed buildings, have so far failed because allegedly no investor has been found to support the Area takes over and develops.

The Bismarck Tower is a lookout tower on the border of Leipzig in the district of Lützschena. With a height of 30.75 m, it is the highest vantage point in the north of Leipzig. It is one of about 240 Bismarck towers that were built after the resignation of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck , i.e. after 1890. Around the turn of the century, he was revered as strong in the German territories that at this time a large number of Bismarck monuments were built and Bismarck towers.
The castle church is an Evangelical Lutheran church building in the Leipzig district of Lützschena. A chain of partial renovations began in 1997: first the tower, in 1999 a new interior painting, in 2002 the general overhaul of the organ, in 2010 the roof structure repair with subsequent new roofing, the completion of the stair gables and battlements as well as the exterior plastering and painting, in 2011 the interior painting again and the start Revision of the windows. As a result of these measures, often as a voluntary service, the castle church has shown itself again as a notable landmark in the townscape of Lützschena since autumn 2011. The repair is not yet complete. It is now mainly about damage that was only discovered during the ongoing reconstruction.
The castle was built in the Tudor style in 1864 by the son of Maximilian Speck von Sternburg , and in 1956 the castle lost its neo-Gothic character when it was extended. In 2002 the Barons von Truchseß and Erffa bought the castle and saved it from deterioration. The palace gardens, redesigned by Maximilian Speck von Sternburg, and the alluvial forest station are excursion destinations in the Leipzig alluvial forest .
The Hainkirche St. Vinzenz is an Evangelical Lutheran church building in the Leipzig district of Lützschena; previously it was the church of the community of Hänichen east of Schkeuditz . By the union decree of the Merseburg bishop Sigismund von Lindenau of July 26th 1537 the communities Lützschena and Hänichen were connected with Quasnitz to the extent that they u. a. were looked after by a common pastor.
