geography

Municipal Office

Geographical location

Lindenthal is in the northwest of Leipzig . The local corridor is traversed by Lindenthaler Wasser (Rietschke).

In the Berlin district of Zehlendorf , a main road has been named "Lindenthaler Allee", which points in the direct direction from Berlin city center to Lindenthal.

Neighboring communities

Neighboring districts are Wiederitzsch , Möckern , Wahren , and Lützschena-Stahmeln . In the north, Radefeld, a district of Schkeuditz, borders Lindenthal.

history

First mentioned in 1350, a first church is documented in the 14th century. In 1720/21 the church was rebuilt. On October 18, 1806 the village was sacked by French troops. In October 1813, Lindenthal was the sideline of the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig . Visits or overnight stays in Blücher and Gneisenau are occupied.

Until 1815, Lindenthal belonged to the Hochstift-Merseburg office of Schkeuditz , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the western part of the Schkeuditz office was ceded to Prussia in 1815. Lindenthal remained with the eastern part of the Kingdom of Saxony and was incorporated into the Leipzig district office. As a result, the new Saxon-Prussian border ran north of Lindenthal and Breitenfeld from 1815. From 1856 the place belonged to the court office Leipzig II and from 1875 to the administrative authority Leipzig . In 1892 the striking windmill was built southeast of the village. In the 1890s, part of the north-western town hall began to be used as a parade ground for the Leipzig garrison. During this time, a (small) urban center was formed on the western edge of the town. Lindenthal had 1126 inhabitants in 1895. From 1910 the importance of the place grew through the establishment of the 1st Saxon Airfield Association, the establishment of an airfield and the establishment of the Saxon Aircraft Works .

The town hall was built in 1921/22. The neighboring village of Breitenfeld was incorporated in 1923.

The “Memorial of 53” on the southwestern edge of the Tannenwald commemorates the victims of a massacre known by name in the last days of the war in 1945, in which 53 political prisoners from different political directions were shot in the neck by Gestapo and SS men. Among them were Margarete Bothe and Alfred Kästner .

During the district reform in the GDR in 1952, Lindenthal was assigned to the Leipzig-Land district in the Leipzig district, which became part of the Leipziger Land district in 1994 .

In June 1998 an incorporation contract was signed through which Lindenthal became a district of Leipzig on January 1, 1999 . The Leipzig district of Lindenthal belongs to the north-west district and includes the towns of Lindenthal and Breitenfeld.

Population development

A slight decline in population (−0.2 to −0.5%) was recorded in 2004. Lindenthal is one of the comparatively “young” districts of Leipzig; the proportion of people over 65 is less than 21%. The proportion of foreigners is less than 1%.

Gustav Adolf Church

TSV unit Lindenthal

In Lindenthal there is the sports club TSV Einheit Lindenthal e. V. This was founded in 1872. The association used to be known as BSG Einheit Lindenthal.

The TSV unit Lindenthal has many different youth teams and a men's area, where 1 men's team (1st men) actively plays. Their club colors are green and white and they have many different sponsors (e.g. Rothkegel Baumarkt, Sparkasse Leipzig, Frucht Crossbrust)

The TSV unit Lindenthal also offers bowling, table tennis, volleyball, running / noding working, bike ball and gymnastics.

At the time of the GDR there was still a section for athletics club. (School AG)

Attractions

To the south of the old village green is the striking ensemble of the Gustav Adolf Church, the choir and the former school, which now houses a youth club. To the north of the church, a memorial stone commemorates those who fell in the Battle of Leipzig in 1813 on Lindenthaler Flur. A total of four Apelsteins mark the sites of the battle: No. 16 at the cemetery, No. 18 in Karl-Mansfeld-Strasse and No. 46 at the blacksmith's shop. The fourth Apelstein in the Lindenthal hallway is near the Lindenthal mill.

Recreation

On the site of the former outdoor pool there is now a natural ecological family pool with restaurant and sauna. After it had to close temporarily in August 2014, it will be reopened in 2016 after the renovation work has been completed. The local council had spoken out in favor of preservation, as this was stipulated in the incorporation contract.

To the north of the Lindenthal locality, the fir forest (actually a deciduous forest) is a contiguous forest area that is rare in the north of Leipzig. After decades of using the forest and the areas west of it as a parade ground by the NVA, calm has returned today. It was planned to preserve the forest as a bird sanctuary. A planned cycle path south of the forest on the route of the Old Salt Road is intended to further develop the area for local recreation. The former landfill adjacent to the south has been renovated and a lookout point has been set up.

education

The two-tier elementary school named after Alfred Kästner is located in the center of Lindenthal . An extension is to be built by the beginning of 2020 in order to be able to increase the capacity to three trains per class level. A secondary school is located immediately south of the suburb of Wahren.

Economy and Infrastructure

economy

Smaller commercial and handicraft businesses, two supermarkets and a petrol station exist in Lindenthal. The local unemployment rate is one of the lowest in Leipzig at less than 10%.

traffic

Lindenthal is well connected to the A 14 via the ASt Leipzig-Nord . The LVB bus routes 87, 88 and 90 connect Lindenthal with the rest of Leipzig. Plans to connect Lindenthal to the Leipzig tram network via Wahren or Gohlis, which were repeatedly discussed in the 20th century, were not implemented, but the extension of line 4 from the Gohlis terminus on Landsberger Straße is still kept free in the land use plan.

The nearest S-Bahn station is not far from the southern town limits in Wahren and is served by the S 3 line of the S-Bahn Central Germany every half hour. It provides a fast, no-change connection to Leipzig city center, to the main train stations in Leipzig and Halle, as well as to the southern Leipzig area as far as Geithain .

The traffic load in the village has decreased due to the expansion and renovation of State Road 1 (Louise-Otto-Peters-Allee) from Möckern to ASt Leipzig-Nord east of Lindenthal. In combination with the B6n (Travniker Straße) there is now a bypass for the place.
