Oberlödla is a district and the main town of the municipality Lödla in the Altenburger Land district in Thuringia .
geography
Oberlödla lies on a ridge of the Altenburg-Zeitzer Loesshügelland , which forms the watershed between Gerstenbach and Deutscher Bach. The city center of the district town of Altenburg is four kilometers east of the village. The federal highway 180 touches the place in the northeast.
Oberlödla borders Rödigen in the north , Wilhelm Pieck settlement and the city of Altenburg in the east, Steinwitz as a district of the city in the south and Unterlödla in the west .
history
Oberlödla was first mentioned as Lidillo between 1181 and 1214 in the register of teeth of the Bosau monastery . A noble family called Lödla ( Lidelaw ) was mentioned in 1218. There was a manor in the place. Both Lödla places belonged to the feudal lordship of the Burgraves of Altenburg in the 13th century . Since the 16th century Oberlödla belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which, due to several divisions during its existence, was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826).
In 1682 the castle was built in Oberlödla, which was destroyed in 1945. The castle and manor of Oberlödla were owned by the von Poellnitz family until 1945 . Because of the parish of Unterlödla into the parish Oberlödla in 1697, the old church, which was first mentioned in 1389, was too small. Thus, the church of St. Mary was significantly rebuilt in 1698 and received its current baroque appearance. The church and castle had a certain structural similarity. Shortly before the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , on September 28, 1813, Russian-Prussian and French troops fought near the place.
When the Ernestine Duchies were reorganized in 1826, Oberlödla again became part of the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, the place belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). Since 1918 Oberlödla was in the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which in 1920 became part of the State of Thuringia . In 1922 the place was assigned to the Altenburg district.
Lignite mining
Lignite has been mined in Oberlödla since 1809. Already in 1766 there were efforts to promote this, but the owner of the manor at that time forbade this. As early as 1836, however, twelve pits were in operation between Rödigen and Wiesenmühle , which belonged to the Meuselwitz-Altenburg lignite mining district . The heyday only began with the construction of the road from Altenburg to Meuselwitz in 1842. In 1906 the Herzog-Ernst-Schacht was opened, which was closed in 1912, but operated until the coal deposits were completely exhausted in 1941. He owned a briquette factory and his own rail connection. From 1947 until the final end of mining in Oberlödla in 1953, since the yield was too low compared to Zechau or Rositz , the Erfurt mine was operated near the current Lödlaer Bruch nature reserve to the southwest .
World wars
In the First World War were 37 soldiers from Oberlödla, Rödigen and Unterlödla, they were dedicated in 1920 at the cemetery in Oberlödla a memorial stone.
80 percent of Oberlödla was destroyed in the bombing of the Deutsche Erdöl AG (DEA) plant in Rositz on February 14, 1945. A total of 115 people died that night. The castle , in which an air raid shelter was set up, was also hit and partially destroyed in the air raid on the southwest corner. In it, 36 people died under a cross vault, including the manor owner Karl von Poellnitz , a well-known botanist and honorary member of the "Natural Research Society of the Osterland". His wife Margarethe and his 9-year-old daughter were among the victims. The two sons were arrested after they had been released from Soviet captivity and used for forced labor in the lignite mine. They managed to escape to West Germany.
The many bomb victims could not find a place within the delimited cemetery of Oberlödla, but were buried behind the cemetery wall. Today (2016) nothing reminds of the big burial ground, not even a memorial stone in the cemetery.
In 1948, almost the entire estate was demolished as part of the land reform on the basis of Order 209 of the Soviet occupying power . The church, also hit by bombs, was renewed from 1949 to 1951.
GDR and post-reunification period
On July 1, 1950, Oberlödla and its district of Rödigen were combined with the previously independent Unterlödla to form the municipality of Lödla, and the place remained the capital of the new municipality. During this time, Wieseberg was also reclassified from Lossen to Lödla. After the land reform , the Wilhelm-Pieck-Siedlung was built east of the place at the disused Herzog-Ernst-Schacht . It consisted of ten new farmer positions. The farmers founded a type I LPG as early as 1952 , which later joined the type III in Monstab . A new kindergarten was built in Oberlödla in 1966. The almost completely occupied industrial area of the municipality of Lödla is attached to the Wilhelm-Pieck-Siedlung . It is located directly on the B180 in the immediate vicinity of the outskirts of Altenburg and employs around 200 people.
