Neumark is a district of the town of Braunsbedra in the Saalekreis in Saxony-Anhalt .

Geographical location

Today's Neumark is located on the south bank of the Geiseltalsee north-west of Braunsbedra, on the road to Müchi (Geiseltal) . Neighboring places are today Krumpa in the west and Braunsbedra in the southeast. To the north of the lake is the 20th century settlement '' Neumark-Nord ''.

The original center of Neumark was in the Geiseltal north of the current location. Like the Neumark and Neumark-Ost colony, it fell victim to lignite mining and is now located in the Geiseltalsee. Neighboring towns to the old town of Neumark were Geiselröhlitz in the west, Gräfendorf in the east and Petzkendorf in the south.

history

Until 1815 Neumark belonged to the Wettin , later Electoral Saxon office of Freyburg . The decisions of the Congress of Vienna the place to Prussia came only in 1816 the county Querfurt in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony assigned to which he belonged until 1944th Since 1918 Neumark had a connection to the Merseburg – Müchi tram route . In 1927, the Petzkendorf estate was assigned to the neighboring village of Neumark. On April 1, 1937, Graefendorf and Geiselröhlitz were incorporated into Neumark.

In 1944 the Romanesque village church of Neumark was destroyed in an air raid . The ruin was demolished in the 1950s. Parts of the church were used for the reconstruction of the village church Geiselröhlitz , which was also destroyed , but which was later also demolished for open-cast brown coal mining.

The administrative reform in the GDR in 1950 brought Neumark and its districts from the Querfurt district to the Merseburg district . On January 1, 1960, the corridors of Benndorf / Geiseltal, which was excavated in the 1950s by the Geiseltal opencast mine, and its former districts were incorporated into Neumark. On January 1, 1962 Neumark was incorporated into Braunsbedra.

The advancing lignite mining in the Geiseltal also affected Neumark and its districts from 1961. They were relocated or dredged ( devastated ) in the following years :

places Year of relocation Year of devastation
Petzkendorf 1961 1968
Neumark (old town center on the Geisel) 1963 1966
Graefendorf 1963 1966
Geiselröhlitz 1967 1967
Neumark Colony 1968 1975

Today Neumark consists of a district of Neumark south of Petzkendorf between Braunsbedra and Krumpa, and Neumark-Nord north of the former open-cast mine west of Blösien . The latter was not yet available in a table sheet from 1937.
