Artificial ruin and lime tree avenue (garden monument)
Artificial ruin and lime tree avenue (garden monument) (Map) around 1790 Relics of the park of the former manor Eythra , of local, art-historical and cultural-historical significance.

The artificial temple ruins, built around 1790, once formed a "point de vue" for Eythra Castle. The staffage building, which rises on a hill, consists of three Doric columns with entablature, all made of Rochlitz porphyry tufa. A four-row avenue of lime trees served to frame the visual axis, around two thirds of which are still preserved (original length around 650 m). The avenue of linden trees was probably laid out before the artificial ruins were built (around 1750). The lime tree avenue of the former Eythraer Schlosspark as well as the artificial temple ruin "Trianon" are the only relics of the former village of Eythra that still exist in situ, which was devastated for lignite mining in the 1980s. For this reason, both embody a high documentation and memory value for local history. As typical elements of 19th century garden art, they are also of importance in terms of art and cultural history.

Saxon-Prussian boundary stone: Pilar No. 63 left Elbisch (see also material document - Obj. 09305644) (Map) after 1828 In terms of surveying history and regional history, it is of importance as a contemporary document of the historical demarcation between Saxony and Prussia after the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

After Napoleon's reign ended, the borders of Europe were redefined at the Congress of Vienna from September 18, 1814 to June 9, 1815. Saxony, which fought alongside Napoleon and was therefore among the defeated, had to cede almost two thirds of its territory by decision of the victorious powers. Almost all of these areas were assigned to Prussia and became part of the Prussian province of Saxony. The new border ran - beginning in Wittig on the Witka River (now Poland) across the Upper Lusatia, met the Elbe at Strehla, continued west to Schkeuditz and finally ended south of Leipzig at today's border with Saxony-Anhalt. Even today it can be traced back to the division of the church provinces between Saxony and Brandenburg. The first marking of the newly created border line was made in 1815 by means of wooden stakes erected in pairs. The distances between the boundary signs were not uniform, but referred to local conditions such as ditches, rivers or roads and varied between 200 and 4,350 meters. From 1828 the wooden border posts were gradually replaced by much more solid border stones, the design of which goes back to Prussian designs and which are known as pilare (Spanish for "column"). A total of four types of boundary stones can be distinguished. They are numbered from east to west, with the counting starting anew on the Elbe (right Elbe boundary stones number 1 - 212, left Elbe number 1 - 74). East of the Elbe, the stones between number 1 and number 82 are initially designed as a pair of granite blocks, between which a runner stone marks the exact boundary. From number 82 to 148, truncated pyramids stand directly on the border line. Then the forms alternate unsystematically between slender sandstone steles and truncated pyramids with plinths. Several volunteer local researchers have brought together essential findings on the course of the former Saxon-Prussian border. The property of the Saxon-Prussian boundary stones as a monument results from their historical significance; they are reminiscent of a decisive event for Saxony's history. The public interest in preservation is based on the great attention that individual people, groups and communities pay to these stone testimonies of history. In the meantime, several publications have appeared, more extensive documentation is available and signs have even been put up on at least one section of the former border. (LfD / 2014)

A slender sandstone stele with number 63 carved on the opposite side and the country code KS / KP directly on the border line, the stone is badly weathered, the inscriptions are no longer recognizable.

Individual monument of the Elsterfloßgraben as a whole : weir system to seal off the White Elster (oxbow lake) and an upstream icebreaker at the Batschke-Floßgraben branch (see entity, Obj. 09304747) (Map) 1860 Belonging to the Elster rafting system, the combination of artificially created ditches and natural watercourses makes the Elsterfloßgraben an important testimony to the art of hydraulic engineering of the 17th century, with high regional and technical historical importance.

Barrier weir with wooden icebreaker, built after 1860, natural stone masonry, some repairs in brick. As a former part of the Elster raft ditch system, evidence of hydraulic engineering and water management development in the southern Leipzig area. The trench was built from 1608 and was used to transport wood to supply the city of Leipzig. In 1864 the company was closed due to the unprofitable situation. For centuries, the water system of the White Elster was a defining part of the regional landscape structure, which was largely destroyed in the 20th century by the profound changes in lignite mining, so the evidence based on this system, which is responsible for the historical development of Leipzig and It was so important to make clear reference to the surrounding area, so it was of high documentation value. LfD / 2013 Barrier weir, natural stone masonry, e.g. T. repairs in bricks, part of the Elster raft ditch system.

1874 Today's house is a plastered building in historicist forms with importance in terms of local development and architectural history.

In 1874 the Leipzig-Gaschwitz-Zwenkau-Meuselwitz railway line was inaugurated (27.83 km). The establishment of the line goes back to the Leipzig-Meuselwitzer Eisenbahngesellschaft, a foundation of the cities of Zwenkau, Groitzsch, Lucka and Meuselwitz. The aim was to develop the southern Leipzig area as far as Meuselwitz, mainly intended for the transport of lignite from the surrounding mines, but also in general to promote industrial development. For Zwenkau in particular, the movement of workers to the industrial plants in and around Leipzig was important, as was the transport of products from the local brickworks. 1886 Takeover of the line by the Royal Saxon State Railways. The station building at Zwenkau station was completed in 1874, the year it was inaugurated. This is a type of construction (identical in construction to the reception building in Groitzsch, for example), two-storey with jamb, three-axis central projection to the city side and single-axis central projection to the railroad tracks and gable roof, the doors and windows on the ground floor are closed arched, upper floor windows with straight lintels and similar roofs. The delicate facade design is typical of the time (risalites with plastering, grooved corner pilasters, cornice). The reception building in Zwenkau is a testimony to the development of the railways in the Leipzig area, which is why it gains importance in the history of transport. It is also a document on local history. As a station building from the early Wilhelminian era, it also embodied a typological value. (LfD / 2011)

1914 A street-defining building with features of the reform style from around 1910/15 with importance in terms of local development and local history and building history.

The building was built in 1914 by the master builder Gustav Oehlert from Zwenkau as the “Zur Post” inn. It is part of the urban expansion area to the east of the town center, which developed at the end of the 19th century as a result of the closure of the railway and a certain degree of industrialization. Later it was converted into a manufacturing and residential building, after 1945 temporarily interim town hall. The building, which now functions as a tenement house, is two-story and has a high, expanded mansard roof. In accordance with the design principles of reform architecture before the First World War, the plastered facades only show sparse, accentuating plaster divisions, so that the effect of the building is primarily based on its balanced proportions. The main facade is symmetrically divided, a four-axis risalit with a high gable emphasizes its center. Originally the main entrance here, and like the ground floor windows, it is closed with a rounded arch. Typical of the time, the stencil painting on the eaves box restored during the most recent renovation. Staircase extensions on the gable ends, originally with porches that opened up loggias on the upper floor. The building documents the structural development of the city at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and this is where its historical developmental value lies. On the other hand, it refers to the formative work of a local master builder who skilfully adapted to the general architectural development (compare the older tenement house Arthur-Mahler-Straße 32, also built by Oehlert), which is how it acquires architectural historical importance. As an inn built around 1915, it is also indicative of the typology of the building. Due to its function as an interim town hall, it is also a document of local history. (LfD / 2011)

The building has two floors, an extended attic, a central projectile with a mansard gable, the ground floor formerly with arched windows, a simple plaster structure, the windows and the roof old.

Monument text:

The very simple house, built around 1840, consists of a massive ground floor and half-timbered upper floor, all plastered, and a gable roof. It is one of the few, authentically traditional buildings of this type that have survived in the center of Zwenkau. Originally the rear part of the ground floor could have served as a stable. The house is a testimony to the development of the rural town in pre-industrial times. It shows that the townscape was once characterized by rural areas. At the same time, it documents the living conditions of the less well-off sections of the population. As a result, it acquires informational value both in terms of local history and social history.

2nd half of the 18th century (south wing) Historically influenced building with older building fabric in the core, strongly protruding side elevation with arched gate passage, curtain arched windows in sandstone framing, importance for local history, regional history and urban development.

Monument text:

The town hall complex is a multi-part building group. Main building facing the city, whose south wing is the oldest part of the building (erected in the late 18th or early 19th century). In 1904 the north wing and the gatehouse between the wings were built. Since the parts of the building are different in their cubature and the shape of their roofs, the main building has a picturesque overall appearance. The center of the building is effectively emphasized with the strongly protruding gatehouse with a high pyramid roof. The main building has another height accent due to the risalit on the north side, which also ends in a pyramid roof. The facades on the south wing are kept extremely simple, which is partly due to subsequent reductions. The parts of the building erected in 1904 have a late-historic facade design typical of the time they were built. The Saxon coat of arms above the gateway documents the former function of the building as a state courthouse. The former detention building is in the rear part of the town hall area. It dates from 1902/03. Two-storey plastered building with hipped roof, tower-like central projectile with pyramid roof, entrance with natural stone frame, segmental arch, strong keystone. In front of the detention building in the courtyard, the shaft of the former "castle or palace fountain", originally medieval in origin, renewed around 1900 for the water supply to the detention building, brick lining. On the south wing on the courtyard side, the shaft of the “official fountain”, dated 1764 by Wappenstein, dry masonry in natural stone and brick. Due to the centuries-long continuity of the town hall area as the administrative seat, the complex of town hall buildings embodies a local and regional historical significance. It refers to the historical roots of Zwenkau, which was an important keeper of the castle in the early Middle Ages. At the same time it is a testimony to the development of the state administration, especially the judiciary. In its function as town hall, which it received after the Second World War (the Zwenkau town hall, which was inaugurated in 1914, was destroyed by the effects of the war), the complex documents the more recent urban history stages in a significant way. Today's town hall complex, along with the Laurentius Church and the Ratskeller building, is one of the buildings that characterize the townscape of Zwenkau. This is where its urban significance lies.

Windows of different sizes have been cut into the smooth plastered façades, in accordance with the interior layout. The entrance to the house is on the side, protected by an elegant canopy on slim square pillars. For the interior, Oskar Schlemmer , who taught together with Rading at the State Academy for Arts and Crafts in Breslau (since 1929), created metal sculptures and a wall relief. The house of Dr. Rabe is one of the most important examples of new building in Saxony. It also stands for the work of Adolf Rading and Oskar Schlemmer, who were of great importance for the national and international development of architecture and art. (LfD / 2011)

Subject entity component of the entity entity Elsterfloßgraben: Floßgraben (see also entity entity, obj. 09304747) Eythraer Weg
(map)
1608-1610 Artificially created raft ditch adapted to the shape of the landscape with a starting section (so-called Batschke) on the Markkleeberger or Zwenkau area, in the Connewitzer Holz (southern Auewald) flowing into the Pleiße, of regional and technological importance

Monument text:

The Große Elsterfloßgraben is part of the Pleiße-Elster raft system, a system of artificially created ditches, which were made up of natural rivers or mill ditches, connected with weirs, overflows and rakes, and which was used from 1579 to transport wood by water. With the construction of the raft ditch, the Saxon elector pursued the goal of developing his own salt deposits in salt pans near Weißenfels (Poserna). The trench itself had a trapezoidal cross-section. It was originally 3 meters wide at the top and one meter wide at the bottom. The total length of the Pleiße-Elster raft system was 93 km and managed a difference in altitude of 25 m. This makes it the most important artificial grave system of the 16th century on the European continent. The vegetation that marks the course makes it stand out from the surrounding agricultural area. The Pleiße-Elster raft system is divided into the two main systems Großer Elsterfloßgraben and Kleiner or Leipziger Elsterfloßgraben. In the years 1578 to 1580, Elector August I of Saxony had the Great Elster raft ditch built according to plans by chief miner Martin Planer and under the construction management of Christian Kohlreiber, which, fed with water from the White Elster, should lead to the Rippach and thus enable wood rafting to Poserna . In 1610, wood was rafted for the first time for the Electoral Saxon and later Prussian salt pans. After the decline of the salt pans, the raft ditch was used to transport firewood and construction wood. In today's Saxon territory, the length of the Großer Elsterfloßgraben is 6 km. A special feature of the raft ditch are the 79 bridges, which were numbered with Roman numerals from Crossen (Thuringia). and the bridges number LIX to LXXII, some of which have been preserved in their original form. The city of Leipzig has been getting its wood from the Pleiße river since the middle of the 16th century. After the forests in the Pleiße area were exhausted, attempts were made to win the Großer Elsterfloßgraben for timber transport. In the village of Stöntzsch, a branch was made, the so-called small or Leipzig raft ditch, from the large Elster raft ditch. The raft ditch was largely created by linking and expanding the existing river and mill ditch system. The Elster itself, its arm Batschke branching off at Zwenkau and the Leipzig Pleißemühlgraben were integrated into this part of the trench system, which was first flooded with wood in 1610. The material was transshipped at the Leipzig Floßplatz, which was located directly in front of the city at the time, and today the square of the same name is a reminder of its history. Until around 1820, wood was successfully rafted with the raft ditch. After that, the moat became less and less important. The expansion of the road system and, from the middle of the century, the advent of cheaper transport by rail and the increasing replacement of firewood with lignite led to the discontinuation of the Elster rafting company around 1864. In some places, the water of the raft ditch was still used to operate mills. However, the water throughput was significantly reduced. Since it has now passed through different countries (Duchy of Altenburg, Prussian Province of Saxony and Kingdom of Saxony), a joint purpose association was established for its maintenance and further operation, which existed until almost the middle of the 20th century. From 1958, sections of the Elsterfloßgraben were interrupted or dried out by open-cast lignite mines. Behind the opencast mines, attempts were made to maintain its course by pumping water from the White Elster. After these open-cast mines were shut down, sections of the old raft ditch between Elstertrebnitz and Werben were rebuilt on slightly modified routes from 1992 onwards. The reconstructed Kleine Floßgraben has been carrying water since 1996 and, via the Elstermühlgraben, again connects parts of the water system originally used for the Leipzig rafting. Its monument preservation value results from its importance as a nationally significant service in surveying, hydraulic engineering and a nearly 300-year-old successful Saxon commercial enterprise in water management and transport.

Four-storey apartment block consisting of seven houses, built in 1928 according to plans by the architect Thilo Schoder, designed as part of an unfinished residential complex, 115 m long, north-south orientation, a total of 53 apartments, so-called head house as the northern end, plastered facades, structural elements in clinker brick and concrete, rhythmisation through "inserted" stairwells with glazed corners as well as loggias, flat roofs, for the time exemplary living comfort, e.g. B. Equipment of the apartments with bathrooms. The apartment block is an outstanding example of classic modernism in the region. It is also a testament to social housing in the Weimar Republic, which shows a very successful combination of socially designed living space (inexpensive, good hygienic conditions) and aesthetically highly sophisticated architecture. The block of flats also embodies significant information about the work of Thilos Schoder, who was one of the top representatives of New Building in Central Germany and beyond. These aspects explain the building and social history as well as the artistic significance of the object. It is a document of the structural and historical development of Zwenkau in the 1920s.

1931 Plastered facades with clinker brick elements, residential buildings typical of the time with numerous original details, significance in terms of local development and building history.

Monument text:

The two residential buildings with six apartments each were built in 1931 according to plans by the architects Ernst Riedel and Hugo Koch (both BDA, Leipzig). In a design typical of the time, the buildings have smooth plastered facades in which the windows are grouped together like a ribbon by clinker cladding. The resulting horizontal structure is contrasted with tension by the centrally arranged stairwell projections. High, slightly bent hip roofs. With the opening of the Böhlen opencast mine (1921) and the accompanying economic development, Zwenkau had a high demand for living space in the 1920s and 30s, which was to be covered by various construction projects in newly developed urban areas. This also included these two residential buildings, which thus refer to that important stage in the town's development. The objects acquire architectural significance as characteristic examples of rental housing construction from around 1930, which also go back to the planning of two architects who were important for Leipzig and the surrounding area.

Monument text:

The tenement house was built in 1927 by the local architecture firm “Harnisch & Germer”. It is part of a newly developed settlement area east of the water tower in the 1920s. The two-storey building is free, clinker brick elements give its plastered facades visual accents, characteristic stepped gables, which also take into account the striking location of the building on the bent street. Removed gable roof, roof superstructures probably changed a little later. The tenement is a testament to the structural development of Zwenkau in the 1920s, it also refers to the work of the architects Johannes Harnisch and Curt Germer, who played an important role in this development. Due to its high-quality design typical of the time, it is also a convincing example of residential and commercial building construction of its time. (LfD / 2011)

1927 Building with clinker brick structures in the expressionist design typical of the time, significance in terms of local history, cultural history and building history.

Monument text:

The stand-alone building consists of a front building and a large cinema hall. Reinforced concrete was used for the static scaffolding of the hall, and the flat-arched ceiling trusses span a width of approx. 16 m. The emphasis on the porch with a central tower, which contains the vestibule for the gallery and above it the projectionist's rooms, takes into account the urban structure of the cinema. In the urban area newly developed in the 1920s, it forms the central location. Accordingly, it is positioned in line with Hugo-Haase-Straße, which leads directly to the main entrance. The architecture of the former movie theater was shaped by Art Deco forms, the exterior design was simplified in GDR times, originally structured by pilaster strips and profiled cornices, while the building plinth and door frames were preserved in brick. Inside the ticket office, anteroom of the galleries and cinema hall with essential design elements of the construction period. The use of the house was not limited to film screenings. Other performances could also take place on the small stage, which was accessible via stairs to the side and back and had a prompter box. The former "Walhalla" Lichtspieltheater functioned as a cinema until the beginning of the 1970s. In 1973-76 it was converted into a cultural center (multi-purpose building) with 600 seats. The construction of the cinema demonstrates the social relevance of film and cinema in the 1920s. Thus, it has a cultural-historical informative value, which in special cases even extends to the time as a GDR cultural center. A building typological importance is associated with this aspect. As a place of public, cultural life in the city (first cinema, then cultural center), the building has local historical significance. In addition, it is part of the development of the 1920s / 30s, which plays a special role in Zwenkau, from which the importance of the site's development and history is derived. (LfD / 2011)

1889 stately villa in the style of the neo-renaissance, architectural and local significance.

Monument text:

Built in 1889 by the builder Franz Illgner on his own behalf. Two-storey, cubic structure with a flattened hipped roof, plastered facades, the entrance is emphasized by a raised risalit (staircase). Square plinth, ground floor with plaster strips, surrounding cornice, on the upper floor (bel étage) strong decorative and structuring elements, the historical design in the Italian style particularly recognizable by the risalit (window shapes). Nice dormer window to Illgnerstrasse. In the original state, the plaster structure of the exterior was richer; for example, the imitation bossing of the ground floor or the corner blocks on the upper floor are missing today. On the north side of the garden there is an octagonal pavilion, executed in half-timbering, windows with etched glass. The villa documents the structural development of Zwenkau in the late 19th century and shows the demands and quality of historicist villa construction in a small town. Through the connection with Eduard Franz Illgner (1838–95), the building is also reminiscent of a personality who was essentially connected to the city's history in the second half of the 19th century. Illgner had an important influence on the local building activities of that time both as a builder and as a city councilor (1871–90, building committee). In view of these aspects, the construction of villas is important in terms of architectural and local history. (LfD / 2011)

The lower and wider of the two houses were built in 1878 for the merchant Robert Staake, executed by master builder Gustav Waldschlägel. 1907 renewal of the shop, 1927 installation of a second shop window, shop area now over the entire front. Except for simple cornices and the profiled posts of the shop door facade without any further decorative shapes, originally probably the facade design was somewhat richer, steep gable roof. The other house was built in 1898 for Richard Pfeifer, who at that time already owned both properties, according to plans by Albert Harnisch. This is also two-storey, but higher. The facade was designed a little more elaborately in line with contemporary tastes. Ground floor area also almost completely opened as a shop, upper floor yellow clinker cladding, horizontally divided by dark stripes. Contemporary forms of jewelry are the consoles under the sills and on the eaves as well as the neo-renaissance ornaments in the window canopies. The pitched roof is slightly less inclined than on the neighboring house. The two once independent houses are authentic testimonies to the structural development of Zwenkau in the last quarter of the 19th century. They refer to typical structures in the small town environment of that time. This results in their historical significance in terms of local development. (LfD / 2011)

re. 1724, older in essence Stately baroque building on the foundations of a late Gothic predecessor, significance in terms of local history, church history, architectural history, artistic and urban development.

Monument text:

The town church of St. Laurentius was rebuilt after the town fire of 1712 including parts of the late Gothic predecessor building (west tower and remains of the surrounding walls, coat of arms stone dated 1486), completed in 1727, executed by the Leipzig council carpenter Johann Christian Schmidt. 1892 renewal by Theodor Quentin. Hall church with west tower and recessed polygonal choir, plastered building. The west tower rectangular below, octagonal in the upper part, curved hood with lantern, weather vane marked 1724. Ship exposed through arched windows. Under Theodor Quentin, the side extensions were raised up to the eaves, creating a transept-like effect. Interior flat covered, surrounded on three sides by galleries, one-story on the long sides, two-story in the west. Separation between nave and choir by a triumphal arch, on the triumphal arch on the south side a baroque pulpit. Patronage boxes glazed on both sides in the chancel, crowned by elaborate carvings, late Gothic sacraments niche made of porphyry tufa with figural incised depictions, altar with crucifixion group by Caspar Friedrich Löbelt, 1726, larger-than-life sandstone figures, altar barriers (1763). Font from the previous church (around 1250) and baroque font from 1731, tombstones 17th / 18th. Century. The Zwenkau city church St. Laurentius is an important testimony to the baroque church architecture in the Leipzig area and a document for the work of the Leipzig council carpenter Schmidt, who, along with the mason Gregor Fuchs, significantly shaped the building activity in Leipzig in the first quarter of the 18th century. This gives the church great importance in terms of architectural history. Due to the high quality baroque furnishings, worked by the sculptor CF Löbelt, who was equally important for Leipzig at the time, it has an equally artistic value. As a building that once had fundamental importance for the life of the city, the church also has a high level of local historical significance, which is combined with the documentation value of the earlier church conditions. After all, the church building is apparently one of the buildings that give the small town an unmistakable appearance, on which its urban planning value is based. (LfD / 2011)

1881 Richly decorated miller's house in renaissance forms, outbuildings simple plastered building, turbine from 1915 in the former grinding house (this is not a monument), significance in terms of local history, architectural history, economic history and technological history.

Monument text:

The Zwenkau mill has been in use since the early 16th century, initially owned by the Leipzig council and given to tenants for centuries. In the 19th century the mill was sold to private owners. In its present form, the mill property was shaped primarily by the Fischer family (owners since 1849). They expanded the Zwenkauer Mühle into a flourishing company that delivered its products to the Vogtland and Ore Mountains. The former prosperity of the mill owners is documented, among other things, in the residential house with office that was built in 1881. It is a two-storey, eaves-free building with a rich plaster facade and hipped roof. The street front is symmetrically structured, three-axis central projection, ground floor with plaster grooves and stucco ornamentation in the roofing fields (leaf fronds and cartouches), floor cornice with rosette frieze, upper floor smoothly plastered with corner blocks, window canopies on consoles, central axis here particularly emphasized by pilasters, profiled eaves cornice on consoles. Courtyard entrance with sandstone pillars at the Leutpforte and wrought-iron gates from the construction period. Outbuildings, built around 1870, formerly stables, later converted into workers' apartments, solid brick masonry, plastered, saddle roof, saddle roof, originally more representative gable design on the city side. In the former Mahlhaus (this is not a monument) the rest of the water turbine built in 1915 by Briegleb, Hanson & Co. in Gotha. Mill ditch with a walled bank border. The Zwenkauer Mühle has been associated with the development of the city since time immemorial; it played an elementary role in the supply of food to the city and the surrounding area, from which its local and economic significance derives. With its structural facilities, it also provides a clear picture of a mill operation from the 19th and early 20th centuries, in particular the house shows the demands and the need for representation of a mill owner of that time, which also provides information about the history of the building. The mill property is also one of the defining structures in the center of Zwenkau. The technical historical significance is linked to the preserved parts of the then very modern turbine system from Briegleb, Hanson & Co. (LfD / 2011)

Monument text:

In 1695 an aisle church without a tower was built on the cemetery once in front of the city (foundation by the electoral chief forester Johann Meintz and his wife), and in 1717 the west tower was added (donation from the widow Meintz). In 1845 there was extensive reconstruction, in 1906 and 1965 restorations, 1996/97 interior renovation, 2010/11 renovation of the exterior. The wide nave with large arched windows and simple plastered structures, saddle roof, tower over a square floor plan, two-storey, curved hood and lantern at the end, interior flat-covered (coffered wooden ceiling), single-storey galleries on three sides, pulpit above the altar, lateral prayer rooms, organ from Richard Kreutzbach (1883).

Memorial stone for Pastor Schröder and his wife (1825), rectangular pedestal with corner acroteries and weathered tablets, originally crowned by a vase, unknown tomb, in the form of a tree trunk, Rochlitzer Porphyrtuff, around 1900. War memorial for the First World War on the north wall of the church, two panels with the names of fallen soldiers and a bronze sculpture of a dying soldier on a base (dated and signed Felix Pfeifer 1931). The historical significance of the Johanniskirche derives from its function as a cemetery church. In addition, the building can be considered a testimony to church history and church architecture from different centuries in the Leipzig area. With its beautiful baroque tower, it is an important part of the townscape, which also embodies an identity-creating urban development value. The cemetery wall and the grave monuments or memorial stones recorded as cultural monuments are evidence of the cemetery design and cemetery culture in the past. The war memorial has a historical significance in that it refers to the important historical event First World War with reference to the personal fates of local residents and documents the associated culture of remembrance. As the work of the well-known Leipzig sculptor Felix Pfeifer (1871–1945), it also acquired artistic significance. (LfD / 2011)

Monument text:

In 1928/29 the architects Thilo Schoder (Gera) and Hugo Koch (Nerchau) carried out an extensive extension to the former district hospital in Zwenkau. First the single, two-storey infection house was built, then on the north side of the old building, which was built around 1900 (now demolished), extensive, three-storey building wings were built, which extend along the street as well as into the depth of the property. Horizontally accentuated facade design in plaster and clinker, flat roofs, in some cases ingenious corner solutions through stairwell glazing running around corners and subdivided with concrete angles, central entrance with open staircase on Pestalozzistraße. The Zwenkau hospital is an outstanding document of architectural development in the Leipzig area in the 1920s in terms of architectural history and architecture. It also refers to the work of the well-known architects Schoder and Koch, whereby the importance of Schoder's building history extends far beyond the regional framework. As an important social building, the hospital also embodies an informative value on the history and development of the site in the 20th century (LfD / 2011)

1547 Dendro (Saddle Farm) Stately two-storey house in rich half-timbered, stable building and barn also half-timbered, regional and architectural significance.

Monument text:

The saddle yard is a four-sided yard, consisting of the so-called manor house, a side building with an angled floor plan and a barn. In the past, saddle farms were used to describe goods that had a superior position and were largely exempt from compulsory labor and other taxes. On the other hand, they had to provide horses for the landlord or, in the event of war, to send a mounted man. The saddle farms had jurisdiction over the farms assigned to them. The Zwenkau Sattelhof was first mentioned in a document in 1431 as "Sedilhoff", at that time it was a Merseburg fief. From 1595 the Zwenkau council was a tenant (formally until around 1850). The mansion is a two-story half-timbered building with a gable roof. The half-timbered construction is particularly rich (St. Andrew's crosses) and has been fully visible again since the last repair, various parts have been renewed. Oak door frame dendrochronologically from 1336 (presumably re-used), carved front door, evidence of a wall painting (figure of Justice) covered over the front door. Side building, around 1800, also in half-timbering, plastered, hipped roof with dormer windows. Barn (moved from Heuersdorf to Zwenkau), built around 1800, half-timbered construction, saddle roof. The so-called manor house of the Sattelhof is the oldest building in Zwenkau and is therefore of great historical documentation value. Due to its age and design, it is also one of the most historically significant secular buildings in the Leipzig district. In its capacity as a former saddle farm, the farm complex is an outstanding testimony to the regional ownership and legal relationships in the Middle Ages and early modern times; the name of the farm refers to its origins during the colonization period. In this sense, the Sattelhof represents an above-average significant monument value for the region. (LfD / 2011)

Monument text:

According to Saxony's church gallery (6th vol.), The parish apartment was also damaged in the great city fire in 1712. Immediately afterwards the repair of fire damage was mentioned for information (1712/13). Initially, the parsonage was next to the church, the exact time of the relocation of the parish property to this location is not known, in 1634 the Pfarrgasse was mentioned, which was only created by the newly established parish. The core of today's building could therefore go back to the 17th century, but its external shape is essentially a building from around 1800. The two-story building consists of masonry on the ground floor, plastered over a stone base ("Weißenfelser Stein") ), and half-timbering on the upper floor (paneling of the upper floor in 1926), half-hip roof. On the courtyard side, wooden vestibule, around 1900. Two-storey extension on the back. Inside old cellar vault.

18th century Half-timbered buildings, residential house with surrounding framework, architectural, local and regional historical significance, important for the townscape.

Monument text:

This facility is a three-sided courtyard with a gate entrance, which is located on the village square, in the vicinity of the church. It is therefore probably in the area of ​​origin of the town that was later expanded into a street village. The two-story house on the east side obviously has several construction phases.

The property has a probably somewhat older side building, two-storey, plastered bricks, gable roof, once used as a coach house. The villa refers to the development of the place in the early 20th century.
