geography

The core town is on the left-hand side in the east of the Pleiße river , but the agglomeration with the former train station is also on the right-hand side of the water. The flowing water forms meanders , with the banks being protected from further washout by trees. Furthermore, the area natural monument, the Paditzer Schanzen between Paditz and Stünzhain, connects above the Paditz stop , where a volcanic rock (formerly known as mica porphyrite ) was extracted from the disused quarries .

history

Paditz is still recognizable today as a Sorbian round foundation through the eight courtyards around the central village center. The place was first mentioned in a document from the Naumburg bishopric between 1181 and 1214. At the time of German settlement, an extension was built. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the burgraves of Altenburg owned the place. Paditz later belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies from the 16th century due to several divisions in the course of its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony- Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, Paditz belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900).

From 1918 Paditz belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. Since 1922 the place was in the district of Altenburg and from 1952 in the district of Altenburg in the district of Leipzig , which had belonged to Thuringia as the district of Altenburg since 1990 and was added to the district of Altenburger Land in 1994. Before Paditz was incorporated into Ehrenberg on September 7, 1973 , it was an independent municipality with the district of Zschechwitz , which was added on July 1, 1950 by resolution of the state parliament. On July 14, 1993, the entire community of Ehrenberg was incorporated into Altenburg as a district.

Attractions

Historic Pleißebrücke in Paditz

In addition to the typical half-timbered courtyards that can be found in many places in the Altenburger Land, the Paditzer Schanzen nature reserve is of great cultural importance, which is unique in its shape and size for this region.

An important architectural feature in the place is the stone arch bridge over the Pleiße. It was built in 1531 on the site of an old ford on the trade route to Bohemia .
