In the local area are the Penkwitzer See and partly the Hainbergsee , which were created from flooded open-cast mining holes.
history
The area of today's Spora has belonged to the Zeitz diocese since 986 . Spora is believed to be a Slavic foundation. The local church has a Romanesque substructure, which suggests that it already existed in the 12th century. (Sporow) and Prehlitz (Prelsicz) were first mentioned in a document in 1333, Nißma (Nizmene) was mentioned as early as 1154 and Oelsen (Golsowa) was mentioned around 1069.
Spora, Nißma, Oelsen and Prehlitz were in the Zeitz office until 1815 , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 as part of the Naumburg-Zeitz bishopric and belonged to the secondary school- principality of Saxony-Zeitz between 1656/57 and 1718 . Penkwitz was a specialty. It was located between the Zeitz Office and the Altenburg Office of the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg . Since the manorial rule over Penkwitz initially lay with the Kayna manor , it was also referred to as the Kaynaisches Dorf . Later, the manor was at the manor Kleinbraunshain , whose five associated towns formed an exclave until 1815 , which belonged to the Borna district of Saxony . As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the five places Spora, Nißma, Oelsen, Prehlitz and Penkwitz came to Prussia in 1815 and were assigned to the Zeitz district in the administrative district of Merseburg in the province of Saxony in 1816.
In the 19th century, lignite mining in the Spora area gained great importance. The area was the westernmost branch of the Meuselwitz-Altenburg lignite mining area . Underground pits were the pits Vereinsglück 9 and 85 (1842-1928) and Leonhard II (1897-1927) between Oelsen and Spora and the Prehlitz pit No. 135 (1867-1928) east of Prehlitz. The Nißmaer mine was opened in 1868. Opencast mines existed in Oelsen with the pits Vereinsglück I (1859–1909), Vereinsglück II (1900–1928) and Vereinsglück III (1891–1928). A sugar factory existed in Spora between 1872 and 1900. After economic difficulties it was closed and converted into a briquette factory. The Leonhard II refining plant in Spora, inaugurated in 1905, was in operation until 1966. Between 1901 and 1969, Oelsen and Spora each had a station on the Gera-Pforten – Wuitz-Mumsdorf railway line . The Spora station was located in the located north of Spora, dilapidated today Spora settlement in the pit Leonhard II. At that led the railway Meuselwitz-Spora from the train station Meuselwitz . After coal mining in the Spora area ended in the first half of the 20th century, the remaining open pit holes were flooded. This is how u. a. the Penkwitzer See and the Hainbergsee , which is partly on Thuringian territory. In the 1980s, the resumption of lignite mining was planned, but this was not carried out. A large part of the Spora location should have given way to the planned “Spora opencast mine” between Oelsen and Nißma. The “Meuselwitz opencast mine” was planned to the east and north of Nißma.
Prehlitz and Penkwitz formed the Prehlitz-Penkwitz community at the beginning of the 20th century. On July 1, 1950, Prehlitz-Penkwitz, Nißma and Oelsen were incorporated into Spora. In the course of the second district reform in the GDR , Spora and its districts came to the Zeitz district in the Halle district in 1952, which became the Zeitz district again in 1990 and was incorporated into the Burgenland district in 1994.
On July 1, 2003, Spora merged with eight other previously independent municipalities to form the Elsteraue municipality.
