history

As early as the 12th century, in addition to a farming settlement and a parish church, there were two aristocratic estates in Porstendorf, which belonged to the von Stechau family on the one hand and the von Porstendorf family on the other . The former was acquired by the Cistercian Pforte monastery near Bad Kösen between 1168 and 1177 . The latter was shared between the brothers Bruno and Konrad von Porstendorf . Bruno , who became Bishop of Meissen, founded an Augustinian canon monastery on his property after 1209 , while Konrad founded a commandery of the Teutonic Order in Porstendorf in 1221 , into which the newly founded monastery was merged only a few years later. But as early as 1226 the Teutonic Order sold its Porstendorfer possessions to the Pforte monastery with the consent of Grand Master Hermann von Salza , which made it the sole owner of the place. The monks let the farming villages Porstendorf and Hummelstedt go under by 1250 and instead built a grangie , a mill and a weir in the Saale.

At the beginning of the 15th century, the monastery initiated the re-establishment of a farming settlement at the exit of the Nerkewitzer Grund, so that today's Neuengönna came into being. A few decades later there was a dispute there between the abbot of the Pforte monastery and the Schösser of the Jena office over jurisdiction, in which the farmers also took part. Neuengönna remained legally subordinate to the Porstendorf manor.

After the Reformation and the abolition of the Pforte monastery in 1540, Porstendorf was transferred to the Saxon sovereign and lent to the von Herda family. In 1578 the family of the Saxon Chancellor Gregor Brück acquired the manor and lived in it until 1605. Subsequently, Porstendorf was given to the Tautenburg taverns . From 1640 to 1665 it belonged to the family of Hermann von Wolframsdorf and was acquired in the last year mentioned by Duchess Marie von Sachsen-Jena for 30,000 guilders, whose daughter Charlotte Marie von Sachsen-Jena sold it to Georg Ludwig von Wurmb in 1694 . In the period that followed, the manor was extensively renovated.

In 1945 the manor was expropriated, occupied by the Red Army and , with the exception of a few farm buildings, razed to the ground in 1948. In the GDR, a local recreation center was created in Porstendorf .

From October 2, 1905 to 1969, the Crossen – Porstendorf line existed .
