history

Early history

Prehistoric finds prove that the area was inhabited as early as about 4000 to 3000 years before our era. Osmünde was later a Sorbian settlement after the immigration of Slavic tribes during the Great Migration . The ground plan of Osmündes still shows the layout of a Slavic round village . Osmünde belonged to the Neleticigau in the 8th and 9th centuries . The name could also be of Slavic origin if it is derived from osmina for eighth notes . Osmünde would therefore possibly be the capital of a so-called eighth valley . More recent findings, in particular the research of the onomastic Jürgen Udolph , have shown that the origin of the name Osmünde could also be traced back to the old Germanic word for sand mountain or sand hill for the former Kirchberg. From this, in turn, it could be deduced that the place was Germanic colonized at least 2000 to 2500 years ago and the origin of the name has been preserved over this entire period.

First mentioned until the 18th century

A document from Otto I dated June 26, 952 came down to us for the first time in a document . Otto exchanged Osmünde, known as marca Ozmina , for his vassal Billing . Osmünde was at the intersection of the Old Salt Road (or Bohemian Road) with a military road. In the 12th century, the Sankt-Petrus-Kirche was built, although a church probably already existed in the village before that. Osmünde was under the authority of Giebichenstein from the 13th century with several neighboring towns as Osmünder care .

Ruin of the church tower

Osmünde became a place of pilgrimage through a miraculous image of Mary in the church. A description of the pilgrimage festival has come down to us from Ulrich von Hutten , who traveled on the salt road . With the introduction of the Reformation in 1540, the pilgrimage was replaced by the local Appelsfest . The festival was later banned by the Prussian king and only revived in 2002.

In the period around 1600 Osmünde was the third largest town in the Saale district of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . The place belonged to the Giebichenstein office since the 13th century . In the Thirty Years War there was also heavy destruction and looting in Osmünde. The inhabitants had to leave the place temporarily and seek shelter in the floodplain of the Elster . The place only recovered from the severe cuts in the 18th century. In 1680 Osmünde came to the Duchy of Magdeburg under Brandenburg-Prussian rule in the Giebichenstein office of the Saalkreis .

19th century to the present

In the time of Napoleonic occupation (1807-1813) Osmünde was assigned to the canton of Dieskau in the Halle district ( department of the Saale ) of the Kingdom of Westphalia . During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Osmünde was attached to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816 and assigned to the Saalkreis.

In 1840, the Halle-Leipzig section of the Magdeburg-Leipzig railway line , which passed south of Osmünde, was opened. In 1851 a sugar factory was built on the road in the direction of Gröbers. Sugar production continued until the Great Depression in the 1920s. Lignite was mined underground nearby . In 1898 a consumer association was founded for Osmünde and the surrounding area . In 1910 Osmünde had 866 inhabitants. The population rose to 975 by 1925.

Conflicts arose during the Kapp Putsch in March 1920. Workers stored weapons in Osmünde, which were then used in Ammendorf . In 1934, today's federal motorway 14 was built north of the locality. On April 1, 1938, Osmündes was incorporated into Gröbers.

In April 1945, towards the end of the Second World War , Osmünde was initially occupied by soldiers of the 1st US Army . It then belonged to the Soviet occupation zone . In the post-war period, many refugees and displaced persons were taken in. The land reform followed and later the forced collectivization of agriculture.

In 2003, the homeland association “Osmünder Spritze 1811 e. V. “founded. As of January 1, 2004, it was incorporated into the unified municipality of Kabelsketal.
