geography

Oldisleben is located on the eastern slope of the Hainleite on the Unstrut. Before the construction of a retention basin near Straussfurt, the Unstrut regularly caused floods. A dike was built to protect the parts of the lower village that were then below the water level. This is interrupted by the road to Heldrungen. During high tide, this passage was closed with boards and sandbags. The grooves for the boards can still be seen today.

Community structure

The Sachsenburg district , which is located directly at the Thuringian Gate, belongs to Oldisleben .

history

Prehistoric shallow and tumulus graves and hilltop settlements near Oldisleben point to settlements from the Stone and Bronze Ages.

The first documented mention of Oldisleben goes back to the establishment of a Benedictine monastery by Kunigunde von Weimar-Orlamünde , the heiress of the county of Beichlingen and wife of Kuno von Northeim , in 1089. The name of the evidently older place appeared for the first time in 1101 as Adesleven . Parallel to the development of the place, the Lower and Upper Sachsenburg were built at the Thuringian Gate south of Oldisleben between the 11th and 13th centuries to monitor the traffic routes. In what is now the Sachsenburg district, the “pass men” sat, who checked the passports of travelers through the Thuringian Gate and collected customs and escort money for the knights and counts . The houses of the "pass men" were directly on the thoroughfare and were called Rauhäuser .

Due to the respected and wealthy monastery, the place developed into a market town . When a head-sized meteorite fell near the monastery in 1136, the monks called for pilgrimages to Oldisleben. The monastery church was the burial place of the founding family, Counts of Beichlingen .

Oldisleben only came into the possession of the monastery in 1499 when it was bought by the Albertine Duke Georg . The monastery was largely destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525 and dissolved in 1539 after the residents of the village had converted to Protestantism in the course of the Reformation . The remaining buildings then served as chamber property. Cellar vaults and some Romanesque and early Gothic remains from the monastery have been preserved in it.

The Albertine Elector August of Saxony entered the Naumburg Treaty in 1554 a. a. the dissolved Oldisleben monastery and the neighboring Sachsenburg office to the Ernestines . While the latter remained in their possession and came into pledge possession of the Albertine Electorate of Saxony in 1567 as an "assekurierter Amt" , Oldisleben came to the Counts of Mansfeld in 1555 under Saxon-Ernestine sovereignty . In 1591 the place was bought back to the Ernestine line of Saxony-Weimar that was created in 1572 through the division of Erfurt . In accordance with the contract, the Ernestine exclave Oldisleben was elevated to a " Senioratsamt " in 1642 , which was administered jointly by the Ernestine duchies . During the Thirty Years War , the four nearby settlements of Kapellendorf, Möllendorf, Priesendorf and Rumsdorf were destroyed by devastation .

In 1732 the seniority order was founded, the seniority relationship was canceled in 1821 by the Arnstadt house contract and the Oldisleben office was assigned to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach .

Today's Sankt Johannis Church was built in 1910/11 after the church, which was built on this site in 1506, had to be demolished due to its dilapidation.

Even before the National Socialists came to power in the Reich, the KPD district assembly member Hermann Güntherodt from Sachsenburg was murdered by the Nazis. A monument and a settlement that bears his name commemorates him. Fritz-Hankel-Strasse commemorates the KPD chairman of the town, who died in Buchenwald concentration camp in 1942 . During the Second World War , around 800 prisoners of war as well as men and women from numerous occupied countries had to do forced labor in the sugar factory and on the Göhring and Schreiber estates .

On January 1, 2019, the municipalities of Oldisleben, Bretleben , Gorsleben , Hauteroda and Hemleben and the rural town of Heldrungen merged to form the new town and rural municipality of An der Schmücke. The Oldisleben community belonged to the administrative community at An der Schmücke .

Mining history

Location of the shafts

The two disused shafts of the Potash Works Union of Grand Duke Wilhelm Ernst are located immediately to the west of Oldisleben (see map below). You are in the former area of ​​the " Exclave Oldisleben".

On December 9, 1905, the sinking of the Grand Duke Wilhelm Ernst I shaft (also known as the Möllendorf shaft) began; its final depth of 595 m was reached after three years. The second shaft, the Großherzog Wilhelm Ernst II shaft (also known as the Hainthal shaft), is located approx. 1325 m west of the shaft I. It was only sunk seven years later, on November 6, 1912. Its final depth of 621 m was reached in early 1914 Carnallitite and hard salt were extracted from 1908 onwards. The mining method was the chamber construction method. The extracted salts were processed in the union's own potash factory, to which a cable car led. In 1922, the Grand Duke Wilhelm Ernst mine was shut down in accordance with Section 83a of the Decommissioning Ordinance.

  7. Both shafts were closed with a concrete cover in 1923. After the First World War and the "loss" of the Alsatian potash mines, the German potash monopoly was broken. In order to curb the overproduction of potash salts, on October 22, 1921, the Reichstag issued the “Ordinance on the Amendment of the Regulations of the Law on the Regulation of the Potash Industry” of July 18, 1919, briefly referred to as the “Decommissioning Ordinance”. With this ordinance, the potash plant operators were offered to voluntarily shut down less profitable plants by the end of December 31, 1953.
