history

The first mention of Lippendorf was in 1378, of Spahnsdorf in 1443 and of Medewitzsch in 1279. The three closely spaced places were until 1856 in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Pegau . From 1856 the three places belonged to the Pegau court office and from 1875 to the Borna district administration .

At the beginning of the 1920s, the Böhlen plant of the joint stock company Sächsische Werke was established in connection with the exploration of the Böhlen open-cast lignite mine northwest of the town . The first power plant was built in 1925 . When the Böhlen plant was attacked in 1944/45, parts of Lippendorf were destroyed by bombs. On April 1, 1934, Lippendorf and Spahnsdorf were incorporated into Medewitzsch. The new community was named "Lippendorf". This came to the Borna district in the Leipzig district in 1952 . In the mid-1960s, Spahnsdorf and parts of Lippendorf had to give way to the second power plant . Since then, Lippendorf only consists of the Medewitzsch location.

On January 1, 1973, the municipalities of Lippendorf and Kieritzsch were merged into Lippendorf-Kieritzsch. Lippendorf-Kieritzsch has been part of the Neukieritzsch community since January 1, 1996 . At the end of 1999, a new power plant was inaugurated next to the old power plant , and the old one was shut down.
