history
Neukirchen and Wyhra before the merger
Neukirchen on the east bank of the Wyhra was first mentioned as "Nuenkirchen" in 1350 in a loan book of the Meissen margrave Friedrichs des Strengen . The place name means "settlement at the new church". When it was built in 1568, the St. Laurentius Church is likely to be one of the oldest Protestant church buildings. In 1892 she received an organ from Borna organ builder Richard Kreutzbach, the son of Urban Kreutzbach .
Wyhra on the west bank of the river of the same name was mentioned for the first time in 1150, the river name as early as 1105. In 1286 Friedrich von Schönburg gave the place Wyhra to the monastery Geringswalde . Until after 1497 the place belonged to the rule Schönburg . Like the church in Neukirchen, the St. Stephan church in Wyhra, built in 1494, also has a Kreutzbach organ (since 1894). Worth seeing in Wyhra are the many beautiful half-timbered buildings. In 1991 the Wyhra Folklore Museum was opened in a four-sided courtyard on Benndorfer Weg.
Neukirchen and Wyhra were in the Electoral Saxon and Royal Saxon Office of Borna until 1856 . From 1856 the places belonged to the Borna court office and from 1875 to the Borna district administration .
In the middle of the 19th century, lignite mining shaped both places. In the immediate vicinity of Neukirchen, the first briquette factory was built in the Borna district in 1887. Lignite was mined north of the village. In Wyhra, the first open pit mine in the Borna district was opened up in 1897 by the “Grube Wyhra”. In 1897 the "Neukirchen-Petergrube opencast mine" was opened and was in operation until 1962. In 1902, both places received a stop at the Neukirchen-Wyhra stop in Neukirchen on the Neukieritzsch – Chemnitz railway that opened in 1872 . This was raised to a station in 1937 with the opening of the Borna – Großbothen railway line . The latter route was dismantled in 1947 as a reparation payment.
Neukirchen-Wyhra
The Neukirchen-Wyhra community existed de jure from December 22, 1992 to October 1, 1993, but de facto for almost 50 years. As early as 1937/1938 efforts had been made to unite the two villages of Neukirchen and Wyhra , located on the right and left of the river Wyhra at a distance of less than a kilometer, according to a joint letter from the two mayors to the Borna governor and a joint resolution of the two Local councils. The double name already existed for the Reichsbahn stop in Neukirchen and a brown coal mine. However, the plans for the amalgamation of the villages were not approved by the state authorities.
When the American troops occupied the Bornaer Land in 1945, Neukirchen and Wyhra, like other villages, were merged into an administrative community by order of the military government. The repeal of this order by the Saxon state government in 1946, now under Soviet occupation, provided for exceptions if the villages to be united were in agreement. The joint council of Neukirchen and Wyhra, elected on September 1, 1946, resolved the merger in January 1947. Instead, the Saxon state parliament passed a law on February 4, 1949, after Wyhra was incorporated into Neukirchen on October 1, 1948. A protest immediately filed by the community came to nothing. The name "Neukirchen-Wyhra" finally caught on at the local level. This development was not stopped in the centralized GDR either. Neukirchen-Wyhra was assigned to the Geithain district in the Leipzig district as part of the second district reform of the GDR on July 25, 1952 , but was reclassified to the Borna district on December 4, 1952 .
The Borna-Ost opencast mine, operated between 1960 and 1985, changed the landscape east of Neukirchen. Between 1978 and 1983 mining fields III and IV cut through the roads from Neukirchen to Schönau and Nenkersdorf . The Borna-Ost opencast mine came to a standstill in 1983 at a distance of 500 meters to the eastern outskirts of Neukirchen. In that year the overburden movement was also stopped, until 1985 the residual coal was extracted. After the tipping was completed, the “Restloch Nenkersdorf” remained in the southern area of construction site IV, which was called Harthsee after the flooding .
The "CULT" dance factory was created from the Neukirchen briquette factory.
Since the law of February 4, 1949 was never repealed, the Neukirchen-Wyhra municipal council decided on December 20, 1992 on the basis of the Saxon municipal constitution of 1990 to use the name Neukirchen-Wyhra. This decision was confirmed by the Borna District Office on December 22nd . Thus, by changing the name of the community Neukirchen with the district Wyhra, the community Neukirchen-Wyhra was created in a legally correct manner. On December 31, 1992, it had an area of 977 hectares , on which 1,484 people lived.
On October 1, 1993 Neukirchen-Wyhra merged with the neighboring community of Zedtlitz zu Wyhratal , which was incorporated into Borna on January 1, 2004 .
