history
Markranstadt was first mentioned in a document in 1285 as a court seat. Presumably a subsidiary of the neighboring Altranstädt monastery, it is mentioned in 1287 as a market town and in 1354 as a town. The name is also derived from the founding: As Ranstädt ( ran = "place on cleared ground"), while at the same time Ranstädt became Altranstädt. Ranstädt then got the market rights, from which the current name Markranstädt is derived. A document from 1285 proves the sale of the court seat Ranstete (Markranstädt) with 29 villages from the Margrave of Landsberg to the Bishop of Merseburg. In the period that followed, Markranstädt belonged to the Hochstift-Merseburg office of Lützen until 1815 , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty from 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 .
In 1633, during the Thirty Years' War , the town was burned down by the Holk riders . Among other things, the town hall with all its writings fell victim to the fire. The plague epidemic in 1634 and the famine of 1639 led to a drastic population decline. In 1650 Markranstädt had fewer than 150 inhabitants. The next local catastrophe occurred in 1671, when 31 houses were destroyed in a large fire. The city only recovered at the beginning of the 18th century. Altranstädt Palace was the political center of Northern Europe from 1706 to 1707 when the Swedish king took his headquarters there.
His second point of contact with the world's history had Markranstädt on 23 July 1807, when Napoleon Bonaparte spent the night together wake for the first time at the inn "To the Rosary", and on 19 October 1813, when Napoleon on his return after the Battle of Leipzig on the way from Lindenau to Lützen again in the inn "Zum Rosenkranz". In the course of the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig, the city was again badly affected in 1813. Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the western part of the Lützen office and the Altranstädt exclave belonging to the Leipzig district office were ceded to Prussia in 1815. However, Markranstädt remained with the eastern part of the Lützen office in the Kingdom of Saxony and was incorporated into the Leipzig district office. It was now on the border with Prussia. From 1856 Markranstädt was the main town of the Markranstädt court office and from 1875 the town belonged to the Leipzig District Administration .

Markranstädt experienced an economic boom towards the end of the 19th century. Due to the proximity to the fur trade center of the Leipziger Brühl , mainly the fur dressing , the fur finishing and the furrier trade flourished . Then there was the mechanical engineering, the Markranstädter automobile factory , but above all the Markranstädter brewery. Until the Second World War it was widely known for its “Markranstädter Pilsener”. The first hospital was opened in 1886, and the waterworks and gas station, the water tower and the associated pipes were built in 1895.
At the beginning of the Nazi era , opponents of the Nazi regime were persecuted and imprisoned. On March 11, 1933, the communist Oswald Jäckel was murdered by SA men . In his memory, an old people's home and today's Krakauer Strasse bore his name in the GDR era.
In 1947 the city hospital was opened in Marienstrasse, which later served as the gynecological department. The hospital was closed in 1993, so that since then the residents have had to go to the deaconess hospital in Leipzig , for example, which is about 10 km away .
