The formerly independent town of Lettin is located on the northern edge of the western district of the city of Halle in southern Saxony-Anhalt. The Saale flows past immediately to the northeast . Also in the north-east is the north industrial area with the port of Halle and a thermal power station. The street Nordstraße - Schiepziger Straße from the direction of Kröllwitz and Halle-Neustadt in the south to Schiepzig and Salzmünde in the west runs through the village . From this, the old road to Dölau branches off in the center of the district to the south . However, this is no longer completely passable and for several decades has only connected Lettin with the Heide-Nord / Blumenau district .

history

Evangelical Church of St. Wenceslas

Numerous burial mounds show that the area of ​​Lettin was already settled in the Neolithic. At Dölau there is the menhir of the stone maiden .

The history of the village of Lettin goes back to the establishment of a permanent castle from the Carolingian period. Due to the favorable location on a porphyry knoll above the Saale, it was possible to militarily control the bottleneck of the river to the north and south.

In a register of the tithe of the Hersfeld monastery , which was created between 881 and 899 , Lettin was first mentioned in a document as the place Liudineburg im Friesenfeld, which is subject to a tithing obligation . There are two deserted areas called Motisch in the vicinity of Lettin .

In the 12th century the fort was associated with the von Wrankenstein family. Later, the area around the fort belonged to the Lords of Lettin, who gave the place their name and, after it died out in 1461, to the Mordal (Morl) family.

Since 1608 Latvian part of the Office Giebichenstein in Saalkreis of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg .

On February 25, 1636, during the Thirty Years War , the village was completely burned down. Only the Romanesque church and the overbuilt remains of the domain still remind of the medieval settlement. This explains why most of the farms, as well as the rectory and some of the houses in the old village date from the 17th and early 18th centuries when the village was being rebuilt.

In 1680 the place came with the Saalkreis to the Duchy of Magdeburg under Brandenburg-Prussian rule.

With the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, Lettin 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 reached the Saalkreis in early October 1813. During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the place was attached to the administrative district of Merseburg in the Prussian province of Saxony and assigned to the Saalkreis.

In 1858 the porcelain factory Heinrich Baensch was established, which produced simple tableware and decorated individual items. In 1990 production was stopped. The Latvian porcelain brand for small sculptures and medals by various artists was revived in 2008.

On July 1, 1950, Lettin was incorporated into Halle (Saale).

On the evening of July 7th, 2015, a severe storm hit Latvia. Roofs were covered and trees were uprooted. This particularly affected the Sea Horse Ranch, whose buildings were devastated and whose horses were killed. Some residents reported a tornado .

geography

Lunzberge near Lettin

On the banks of the Saale, across from Lettin, is the nature reserve Porphyry Landscape near Brachwitz , the so-called "Brachwitz Alps", part of the Lower Saale Valley Nature Park . The nature reserve of the Lunzberge extends to the west of the village as far as Neuragoczy . To the southeast of Lettin, between Kröllwitz and Heide-Nord , lie the Brandberge , another nature reserve with a flat rhyolite dome.

The trickle of Haßgraben has its origin in Lettin and flows into the Saale via the Hechtgraben . About one kilometer to the south you come across the forest area of ​​the Dölauer Heide , which also forms a separate district.

To the west of Lettin, in the Saale valley, was the source of Bad Neuragoczy, where water containing bromine and iron emerged due to the Halle disturbance . In the last century there was a sanatorium with a park. Mineral water was later bottled there. When in 1988 the nitrate pollution became too high due to agriculture, the use was given up.

Infrastructure

From the mid-1990s, streets and supply lines were completely renovated. There was also a central connection to the nearby Halle-Nord sewage treatment plant.

The main workshop of Halle's disabled workshops is on Blumenauweg in the direction of Heide-Nord.

The Romanesque church of St. Wenceslas dates from the second half of the 12th century and belongs to the parish of Dölau / Lieskau / Lettin / Heide-Nord. The Lettin cemetery, built in 1900, is located approx. 500 m southeast of the church on Nordstrasse.

To the south of the cemetery is the sports field of VfB Lettin 07 eV In addition to football, the club also has areas for chess, bowling and gymnastics. There are three riding stables in Latvia: Schurig's Riding Stable, the Sea Horse Ranch and the Latvian Horse Farm.

The Lettin volunteer fire brigade is based in Kirchstrasse. There is also a local carnival club , the Lettiner Carneval Club eV

One of the sights is the listed Turmholländer windmill in Windmühlenweg.

The allotment garden, founded in 1936 in Lettin and located directly on the Saale, was shut down due to recurring flood events, such as the 2013 flood . It is planned to turn the site into an agricultural area.

traffic

Lettin is accessed by the buses of the Halleschen Verkehrs-AG , there are four pairs of stops in the city quarter. Line 21, which runs there, connects Lettin with the Kröllwitz terminus in one direction and Halle-Neustadt in the other direction.

West of Lettin, the federal motorway 143 is to be used as an exit called Salzmünde, which will also connect Lettin. However, the construction of this motorway was successfully prevented by NABU Halle for several years. In December 2019, the construction of the motorway began. When completion is planned for 2025, a connection between the north-west of Halle and the federal motorway 14 in the direction of Magdeburg and the northern Harz region will be built.

Areas for a possible southern bypass of Latin and a possible tram route from Lettin to the final stop in Kröllwitz are kept free in the city of Halle's land use plan.
