history
middle Ages
In 1400 Mansfeld received city rights. The development of the place determined the copper and silver mining in smelters. Since 1996 the city has been nicknamed "Lutherstadt". Martin Luther's father , Hans Luder , settled in 1484 as a smelter. Luther spent his childhood in the village and attended the school from 1488 to 1496, the location of which is documented. The building "Luther's School" was demolished due to structural defects and rebuilt in 2000. There is a museum in Martin Luther's parents' house. Luther was an altar boy in St. George's Church, which already existed in 1497.
After the death of the last Count von Mansfeld in 1780, the city and the rest of the Prussian part of the county went to the Brandenburg-Prussian Duchy of Magdeburg . As a so-called immediate city, the city of Mansfeld was directly under the government of the Duchy of Magdeburg . The then still independent city of Leimbach was a media city and also belonged to the duchy.
Modern times
In 1807 Napoleon Mansfeld assigned his brother Jérôme to the Kingdom of Westphalia . Since then the city has belonged to the Halle district in the Saale department . After the reorganization of the district structure in the Prussian state after the Congress of Vienna , the Mansfeld Seekreis was established in the administrative district of Merseburg in the Prussian province of Saxony on October 1, 1816 , to which the city of Mansfeld was assigned. The district office of the Mansfeld Seekreis was since then in Eisleben , which originally belonged to the Saxon part of the county of Mansfeld.
World War II period
During the Second World War , a labor camp was set up in the “Schloss Mansfeld” inn in the Leimbach district for 100 southern German so - called half - Jews who had to do forced labor as part of Sonderkommando J.
Incorporations
The city of Leimbach was incorporated in 1950. In 2005 eight communities were incorporated into the city of Mansfeld, some of which were previously part of the Rammelburg district. With these incorporations, Mansfeld has almost sevenfold its area and the number of inhabitants nearly tripled. In 2009 another six parishes followed.
