history

Machern was first mentioned in 1015 by Bishop Thietmar von Merseburg in his chronicles as Mucherini . The place belonged to the diocese of Merseburg . In 1268 Machern and Brandis were separated - from then on there is the independent parish church of St. Nikolai zu Machern .

From 1465 to 1802 - i.e. for 337 years - the noble family von Lindenau directed the fortunes of the place from Machern Castle . Heinrich von Lindenau brought the monk Conrad Kluge with him from Wittenberg, who became the first Protestant pastor in Machern in 1521 - 18 years before the Reformation was introduced.

In 1585 the plague raged in Machern; 141 people died. In 1632, Wallenstein's troops plundered and destroyed the town, including the manor, and brought in the plague again.

In 1782, Imperial Count Carl Heinrich August von Lindenau had what was once a baroque garden converted into a landscape garden by makers. From 1806 to 1945, the Schnetger family directed the fate of Machern.

Memorial stone for the beginning of the railway construction in Machern in 1836

Machern has been connected to Germany's oldest long-distance railway, the Leipzig-Dresden Railway , since 1838 . Construction work began two years earlier in 1836, which is reminiscent of a memorial stone.

Machern was part of the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon inheritance of Grimma until 1843 . Between 1843 and 1856 Machern was administered by the Wurzen Office. From 1856 the place belonged to the Wurzen court office and from 1875 to the administrative authority of Grimma .

During the GDR era in 1951, the Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB) set up and maintained a children's holiday camp for the children of their employees between the manor and the pyramid in the castle grounds .

Püchau Castle
Püchau

The district of Püchau is first mentioned in 924 and is the oldest documented place in Saxony. Due to the elevated section of the site, on which the former castle and today's Püchau Castle are located and which were strategically important, one had the opportunity to observe the surrounding landscape very far in earlier times. Translated from the Slavic language, Püchau means something like "beautiful place". From 1807 to 1945 the Counts of Hohenthal owned the Püchau estate. To the east of the neo-Gothic mansion is an English-style landscaped garden . The Petersbrücke and Peterskirche are located near the manor house. There are some buildings and structures in the village that are listed and have been restored.

A memorial stone on the Sahlweidenteich in the nearby Lübschützer Teiche recreation area commemorates the Leipzig painter and resistance fighter Alfred Frank (* 1884), who maintained an illegal meeting place for opponents of Hitler there. Frank was sentenced to death in 1944 and executed in 1945.

The mountain of concern

Principle of building the directional radio network of the party and the NVA with the area radio control center south on the Sorgenberg near Machern.

The Sorgeberg, a geographical elevation near Machern, was a restricted military area with its telecommunications tower built in the mid-1960s . The telecommunications tower belongs to the category of A towers , as they were built in all districts of the GDR at the time . The party's directional radio network , which was set up on June 17th after the popular uprising in the GDR , stretched between them . The network was operated by employees of the party , free of employees and technical facilities of the GDR's Deutsche Post . Under the direction of “Fundament GmbH”, a company of the party, founded in 1946 by KPD leaders, the party's network and later the NVA was built.

In the mid-1960s, the NVA joined the party's network, became a cooperation partner of the party and invested in the construction of the tower on the Sorgenberg. After completion, it fulfilled the function of the area radio control center south in the network of the NVA and at the same time as the district radio control center Leipzig of the party. This was previously in the city center on the town hall. All radio links to the district radio control centers of the network of the party in the GDR southern districts, to the special objects of the NVA and to the main radio control center of the network of the NVA in Stülpe were operated via him. An independent telephone and telex network was organized via the radio link. Due to the open nature of the connections and the reconnaissance of the network by the telecommunications reconnaissance of the Bundeswehr , operations were severely restricted. With the expansion of the "integrated staff network of the party and state leadership of the GDR and the armed organs", also known as special network 1 , the directional radio network lost its importance over the years. On January 1st, 1984 it was handed over to the Deutsche Post free of charge. Until 1990 the NVA used a defined number of news channels in this network for a fee . When the Wall came down, the towers were switched off and used for other purposes.
