Location of Lemsel in Saxony

Lemsel is a district of the municipality Rackwitz in the district of Northern Saxony in the Free State of Saxony . The place was incorporated into Zschortau on March 1, 1994 and has belonged to Rackwitz since March 1, 2004.

Geographical location

Lemsel is located in the central municipality of Rackwitz south of Delitzsch between the Werbeliner See (residual hole of the former opencast mine Delitzsch-Südwest) in the west and the old course of the Lobers in the east.

history

Lemsel and the local manor belonged to the electoral office of Delitzsch until 1815 . As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the place became part of Prussia and was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony in 1816, to which it belonged until 1952. In the course of the district reform in the GDR in 1952, Lemsel was assigned to the newly tailored Delitzsch district in the Leipzig district, which was added to the Delitzsch district in 1994 .

Due to the decision taken at the 8th SED party conference in 1971 to "expand the energetic base" in the GDR , the rural district of Delitzsch, which had previously been dominated by agriculture, was declared a mining area. For the extraction of lignite in the area around Delitzsch the opening of five opencast mines was planned. In the Lemsel area, these were the Delitzsch-Südwest and Delitzsch-Süd opencast mines. With the opening of the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine northwest of Lemsel, large-scale mining of lignite began in the region in 1976. The intended devastation of the place due to the advancing lignite mining led to a reduction in the number of inhabitants to approx. 180 people in 1989. However, due to the change in energy policy associated with German reunification in 1989/90, the place was spared demolition. At the time of the early and rapid closure of the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine in 1992/93, the opencast mine had advanced to Werbelin , the devastation of which was still being carried out amid massive protests by the population. The opening of the Delitzsch-Süd opencast mine was never realized. The remaining hole on the site of the former Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine was flooded between 1998 and 2010 and has since formed the Werbeliner Lake.

After the intention to devastate was lifted, the planning, development and development of a residential area on the western edge of the village and a mixed area on the northeastern edge of the municipality began between 1991 and 1994. On March 1, 1994 it was incorporated into Zschortau, which was incorporated into the municipality of Rackwitz on March 1, 2004. Lemsel has been part of Rackwitz since then.
