history

Miltitzer Church

Until the unification in 1934 Großmiltitz and Kleinmiltitz were independent places. Administratively, both villages belonged to the Electorate or Kingdom of Saxony until 1918 , then to the Free State of Saxony. Kleinmiltitz was administered by the estate in Altranstädt , which was originally a grangie of the Cistercian monastery Altzella near Nossen. The status of the monastery property with the associated villages existed until the secularization of the Altzelle monastery in 1540 by the Saxon Duke Heinrich the Pious as a result of the Reformation . After that, belonging to Gutsbezirk places came as enclaves in hochstiftlich-merseburgischen Office Lutzen the district office Leipzig . Großmiltitz, however, was under the administration of the Lützen office.

As a result of 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 without Kleinmiltitz. The eastern part of the Lützen office with Großmiltitz remained with the Kingdom of Saxony and was incorporated into the Leipzig district office, which means that Großmiltitz and Kleinmiltitz have not been separated by a border since 1815, but were now on the border with Prussia. From 1856 both places belonged to the Markranstädt court office and from 1875 to the Leipzig district administration .

Forest cemetery

The baroque choir tower church was built in 1739 and rebuilt in 1908. The forest cemetery with a chapel is located separately in the west of the district. In 1901 the chemical factory Schimmel & Co. , world market leader in the production of fragrances and flavorings, relocated from Leipzig to Miltitz. Representative buildings were built on the main street, the current Geschwister-Scholl-Straße.

The municipality of Miltitz was created on January 3, 1934 by incorporating the municipality of Großmiltitz (634 inhabitants) into the neighboring municipality of Kleinmiltitz (990 inhabitants) and renaming the latter to Miltitz . During the district reform in the GDR in 1952, Miltitz was assigned to the Leipzig-Land district in the Leipzig district, which came to the Leipziger Land district in 1994 .

In the south, the Kulkwitzer See , a remaining open pit, borders on Miltitz, which was released in 1973 as a local recreation area. In December 1979, a large part of the Großmiltitz district (163.76 ha, including the Kirschbergsiedlung ) was incorporated into the city of Leipzig (and later refluxed into the Schönau district), around this area with the residential complex 7 and the northern part of the residential complex 8 of the Grünau development area to be built on.

In September 1984 the community of Miltitz was connected to the tram network of the city of Leipzig.

The American company Bell Flavors & Fragrances took over the former parent plant of Schimmel & Co. from the Treuhandanstalt with the VEB Chemisches Werk Miltitz in 1993. Another successor went bankrupt.

Due to the proximity of the lake and the connection to the tram network, the district advanced to one of the most popular residential areas in Leipzig.

SV Green-White Miltitz e. V.

The general gymnastics club in Großmiltitz and Kleinmiltitz was founded in September 1894. In March 1924, after club life had come to a standstill, the general gymnastics club in Miltitz was entered in the club register and thus brought back to life. After 1945 the club changed its name twice. Since 1952 he called himself BSG Chemie Miltitz. The entire BSG work received generous support from the Miltitz chemical plant until 1989 and experienced many sporting highlights.
