The place is located east of the city of Weißenfels near the exit of the town not far from the B 87 . The Rippach stream flows through the village .
history
In 1161 the place was first mentioned as Posidrin . A Conradus de Poserne appears in a document in 1283, he is the progenitor of the prehistoric noble family of Posern , which continues to exist today , whose line of trunks begins in 1269 with Ludolfus de Buzernen, miles .
Poserna belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office Weißenfels until 1815 , which belonged to the Secondogenitur Principality of Saxony-Weißenfels between 1656/57 and 1746 . Legally, the place was partially subordinate to the Burgwerbener and Mölsener court seats .
Poserna came to Prussia in 1815 through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna . The place was in 1816 the county Weissenfels in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony allocated. In 1897 the neo-Gothic hall church was built. During the second district reform in the GDR, Poserna came to the Hohenmölsen district in the Halle district in 1952 . In 1956 it was reclassified to the Weißenfels district , which in 1990 became the Weißenfels district again and was merged into the Burgenland district in 2007.
On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities of Poserna, Muschwitz , Großgörschen , Rippach and Starsiedel merged with the city of Lützen to form the new city of Lützen.
Poserna saltworks
To the east of Poserna, in the Rippach floodplain, there are some brine springs that have been known since the Middle Ages. However, strong freshwater inflows prevented the regulated use of the brine. For example, an attempt made by Duke Georg the Bearded from 1517 to build a brine well was discontinued in 1521, because it was not possible to purify the brine.
In the 16th century, the need for salt in Saxony was around 4,000 tons per year, which was mainly obtained from the Halle saltworks due to the lack of its own brine sources in Saxony . From the middle of the 16th century, Elector August strove to build a Saxon saltworks in order to supply his country with salt independently. Such attempts had been made in the past centuries and the like. a. Already given several times with the Altensalz saltworks .
In 1569 a Nuremberg society became active again in Poserna, in whose fountain Elector August 1573 participated. From 1577 onwards the sovereign drove the expansion of the Poserna salt works at great expense. The chief miner Martin Planer took over the management of the mining work . 20 permanent day laborers and at times 350 auxiliary workers from the surrounding villages were involved in the construction of the shafts and the construction of the salt works. At the same time u. a. Georg Schwarz's foundry in Hütten with the manufacture of the salt works (boiling pans etc.).
To secure the supply of wood, the Elsterfloßgraben was created from 1578, which , fed with water from the White Elster, should lead to the Rippach and thus enable wood rafting as far as Poserna.
According to calculations made by Elector August himself, the sovereign expected an annual profit of over 91,000 guilders from the salt works . By 1585, over 160,000 guilders had been invested in the Poserna saltworks, but no salt was produced. The concentration of the brine source turned out to be too low at approx. 1.3%. Work on the salt works was stopped in early 1585 and the equipment that had already been installed was removed.
The brine source itself appeared on the surface until around 1975/1980 and then probably dried up as a result of the lowering of the groundwater level due to lignite mining in the area. Because of the brine leakage, rare salt-loving plants settled on the meadow in the vicinity, which is why the area is protected as a natural monument.

Personalities
Probably the most famous inhabitant of this place was the later writer and poet Johann Gottfried Seume (born January 29, 1763 in Poserna, † June 13, 1810 in Teplitz ), who was born here and spent his childhood here until he was eight. The house where Seumes was born was destroyed in the war of liberation against Napoleon in 1813 . There is a stone plaque with a relief image ( tondo ) of the poet on the successor to the house where Seume was born . More information about the life and work of Seume can be found in a permanent exhibition in the castle museum in Lützen .
In Poserna, Johann Georg Tinius (1764–1846) also worked as a pastor, who has found its way into a modern literary treatment by Klaas Huizing as a “book drinker” . The novel “The Book Murderer” by Detlef Opitz is even more interesting and, above all, more authentic . Opitz describes with connoisseurship and an extraordinary wealth of languages u. a. the house search in the rectory of Poserna and the arrest of the Magister in 1813. Not only did Opitz's research on Tinius take him to the USA, the author also included the smallest entries in the parish registers of Poserna in his manic research.
