The Naundörfchen was a settlement west of the old city center of Leipzig and today describes a residential street running there in the inner west suburb
history
Around 1100 German immigrants settled near what would later become the city of Leipzig. The settlement area was roughly in the angle formed by the Pleißemühlgraben and the Elstermühlgraben west of the city. It was connected to the south of the settlement that was built around the Jacobskirche (Jacobs-Parochie) built by Irish monks on the Via Regia (in the course of the current Ranstädter Steinweg ), and was separated from it by the so-called Gräbchen and to the south by limited the thief's pit .
The settlement was first mentioned in 1285 as Nuendorf in connection with the transfer of the basic rights to the Clariss monastery Seusslitz near Meissen . In 1503 the Naundörfchen came to the city of Leipzig. In the 16th century, the Naundörfchen was predominantly inhabited by fishermen, and of the more than 20 gardens that the citizens of Leipzig had in front of the city gates, five were in the Naundörfchen. The last abandoned because of the later overbuilding was Gerhard's garden .
The settlements in front of the city and not included in the city fortifications were particularly at risk during armed conflicts. This applied to the Naundörfchen both in the Schmalkaldic and in the Thirty Years' War . In the latter, it was almost razed to the ground. It was then rebuilt relatively quickly, but due to the water situation, an extension of the road system was hardly possible here as in other suburbs. The Naundörfchen remained an angled lane with built-up buildings on both sides, which had only one access from the Ranstädter Steinweg. At the southeast end, only a wooden footbridge, the Hahnreysteg, led over the Pleißemühlgraben.
In 1910 this footbridge was demolished and replaced by a bridge more than twice as wide. Nevertheless, the Naundörfchen remained more or less disconnected from the development. The area, which is mainly inhabited by craftsmen and small businesses, was considered to be a piece of “residual romance” of old Leipzig until well into the 20th century due to its relatively old and winding buildings. In 1936, consideration was given to demolishing part of the Naundörfchen in order to create a parade ground for the main fire station built in 1880/81 at Fleischerplatz. This plan did not materialize. The Naundörfchen was almost completely destroyed by the bombing of December 4, 1943 . The building of a former municipal power station from 1907 and the associated control room from 1927 have been preserved.
After the rubble field was removed, the III. Was built in the northern part of the former Naundörfchen on the south side of what was then the street. World Festival (today Ranstädter Steinweg) 1951/52 the first large-scale housing project in Leipzig built after the Second World War , five-storey brick-built apartment buildings with 238 apartments and 17 shops. The fire brigade extended its premises to the area via the Pleißemühlgraben, which was piped in 1953. In the free part, green spaces and parking spaces were created.
A street between Dittrichring and Ranstädter Steinweg parallel to Lessing- and Thomasiusstraße - although not exactly following the old route - bears the name Naundörfchen to this day. When the Elstermühlgraben (now south of the Ranstädter Steinweg) was opened, the access to the Naundörfchen area was given a bridge, so that the name of the Naundörfchen is now more representative in the townscape. This bridge was named Carusbrücke in 2005 after the doctor and polymath Carl Gustav Carus , who was born in 1789 in the former house "Zum Blauen Lamm" (Ranstädter Steinweg 14, formerly at the corner of Naundörfchen) as the son of a master dyer.
