Peres-Pulgar
Peres-Pulgar was a municipality north-west of Neukieritzsch , whose three districts Pulgar , Peres and Piegel fell victim to the construction of the Böhlen chemical works and lignite mining by the Peres open pit between 1971 and 1983 . The corridors of the three places were incorporated into Lippendorf-Kieritzsch in 1983 and have belonged to the Neukieritzsch community in the Leipzig district ( Free State of Saxony ) since its incorporation in 1996 .
location
Peres-Pulgar with its three districts was about 15 kilometers south of Leipzig in the Leipzig lowland bay between Groitzsch in the south-west, Zwenkau in the north and Borna in the south-east. The place Peres (278 hectares) formed the geographical and economic center of the three places. It was about two kilometers west of Lippendorf . Piegel (159 hectares) was one kilometer south of Peres, Pulgar (232 hectares) two kilometers northeast of Peres.
While the locations of Peres ⊙ and Piegel ⊙ were devastated by the Peres opencast mine, the location of Pulgar ⊙ has been preserved, but it was built over by the Böhlen chemical works, now the Böhlen works of Dow Olefinverbund GmbH. The village pond and the Pulgar war cemetery are still preserved on the south-western edge of the plant at State Road 71. In the area of the former locations Peres and Piegel, the Pereser See is to be built after 2040 .
history
The three names of the places Peres, Piegel and Pulgar are of Slavic origin, but they were probably settled in pre-Slavic times. Peres was mentioned for the first time in a document in 1096/1150, Piegel in 1121/1145 and Pulgar in 1464. According to a date that has not yet been confirmed, Peres was referred to as the cloister courtyard of the Pegau monastery around 1155 . The establishment of the three places is closely related to the development of the state by Wiprecht von Groitzsch and his heirs. By merging the County of Groitzsch (Pflege Groitzsch) with the Margravial- Meissnian Pegau Gleitsamt, the Pegau Office was created in 1460 . The three places belonged to this later Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Pegau until 1856. Then Pulgar and Peres came to the court office in Zwenkau , Piegel to the court office in Pegau . In 1875 all three places were assigned to the Borna District Authority.
The village of Peres with its manor, which was mentioned in 1156, was the economic center of the three places that were subject to compulsory payments to the estate until the 19th century. It was owned by the Peres family until 1770 . It then passed into the possession of the von Haxthausen , later it was owned by the middle-class families Rummell, Simons and Löber. In terms of church and school, the inhabitants of Peres and Pulgar belonged to the church or school in Pulgar, while the Piegelers were parish and schooled in Pödelwitz . During the Second World War, there were several forced labor and prisoner-of-war camps in all three districts, the most notorious of which was the so-called Dutch camp (Alpenrose), which had been located on the Kieritzscher Kippe (mountain sun) since early 1944, and later in the eastern part of the Pereser Park was relocated. To commemorate these camps, a war cemetery is located in the southwestern part of the Böhlen plant of Dow Olefinverbund GmbH near the Pulgar village pond, which was rebuilt in 1993 after the original location was destroyed in 1971.
On September 1, 1948, Piegel was incorporated into Peres. In 1952 the communities Pulgar and Peres with its district Piegel were assigned to the Borna district in the Leipzig district . On September 15, 1961, Peres and Pulgar merged to form the new municipality of Peres-Pulgar with the districts of Peres, Pulgar and Piegel.
In 1971 the end of the municipality of Peres-Pulgar began with the demolition of the first district. The northernmost district of Pulgar (around 1950: 324 inhabitants) with the church, windmill, school from 1896 and the war grave memorial had to give way to the construction of the Böhlen chemical works . Only the village pond on the later western edge of the industrial area survived. Today the plant belonged to Dow Olefinverbund GmbH. The Peres opencast mine, opened in 1963, gradually approached the community from the south. Between 1976 and 1978, the 67-inhabitant district of Piegel was demolished with its half-timbered farms and the old clay syringe house. In 1982 and 1983, the last part of the municipality of Peres-Pulgar, Peres with 146 inhabitants and the manor, was demolished by the Peres opencast mine. In the Groitzsch district of Großpriesligk , new homes were built for the citizens of Peres in 1981 on "Pereser Straße".
After the destruction of all three districts of the municipality of Peres-Pulgar, the municipality was dissolved in 1983 and its areas were assigned to the neighboring municipality of Lippendorf-Kieritzsch. With their incorporation in Neukieritzsch, they have belonged to this municipality in the Saxon district of Leipzig since January 1, 1996.
Places of remembrance
- Pulgar Memorial
During the Second World War , foreign forced laborers and prisoners of war were used in the Böhlen works. They were housed in different camps around the plant, so u. a. also in Pulgar. The dead were buried near the Pulgar cemetery. In 1969 a memorial was set up behind the cemetery. After Pulgar was torn down, the dead were reburied in a collective grave in 1976. With the dissolution of the cemetery, the memorial on the edge of the Olefine works was redesigned and inaugurated in 1993. It contains memorial plaques for Dutch, Italian and Soviet prisoners.
- Memorial stones for devastated places
In 2010, on the initiative of the Lippendorf-Kieritzsch Heimatverein, with the support of MIBRAG, Dow Chemical and other partners, two memorial stones were erected for the towns of Piegel and Peres excavated by the Peres open-cast mine and the town of Pulgar, which was destroyed by the construction of the olefin plant. The boulders from the Schleenhain opencast mine are in Lippendorf at the former exit to Peres and at the Dow Chemical parking lot in Pulgar. On November 26th, two memorial plaques set in the stones were unveiled. They contain the most important dates in the history of the three places.
- "Pereser Blick"
The LMBV , which is rehabilitating the charred area of the Peres opencast mine, built a viewing hill in 2000 in memory of Peres, which is known as the “Pereser Blick”. With a height of 155 meters NN there is a good panoramic view of the surrounding area. Relics of lignite mining were left behind on the hilltop. a. Excavator shovels, a roll of tape and base plates from the chassis of the 1494 excavator. The latter was the longest in service in the Peres opencast mine. The old driver's cab from the 1077 intermediate conveyor is now used as a lookout and shelter.
