 Location of Prößdorf in Lucka
|
|
Since the regional reform in 1994, Prößdorf has been part of the city of Lucka in the Altenburger Land in Thuringia .
geography
Prößdorf lies in the Leipziger Tieflandsbucht directly at the border of Thuringia by axes and axes-indication . Adjacent places are the Groitzsch districts Maltitz and Hemmendorf in Saxony, the Thuringian city of Lucka in the northeast, Breitenhain in the east, Falkenhain in the south and Langendorf in Saxony-Anhalt, starting clockwise from the north .
Prößdorf received its landscape character largely in connection with the lignite mining. This is how u. a. from the remaining open pit holes of the Hemmendorf opencast mine and the natural flooding from various sources of the Prößdorf bathing lake with its excellent water quality, one of the four bathing lakes in the Altenburger Land.
history
middle Ages
Prößdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1413, but the writings found during restoration work on the Prößdorf church in 1855 indicate that this church was built around 1360. From this it can be deduced that the first houses on the pot market were already standing at this time.
In Prößdorf there is a manor whose builder and time of origin cannot be proven, but in the 15th century it was not an independent knight's seat, but Vorwerk von Breitenhain . The farmers lived in the center of the village, the middle village, the unfree feudal servants lived in the Kotwinkel , which was also called Kuhwinkel because they were allowed to own a cow.
16th to 19th century
The Prößdorf estate often changed hands; in the 16th century it was the lords of Bünau , later the lords of Minckwitz and Zeumer . In the 19th century, the royal Prussian court advisor von Tettenborn-Holderrieder owned this and re-imagined the entire castle grounds as the setting for old art monuments. Another visitor magnet was the park called Lustgarten , and there was also an enormous boom in the local inn trade. In 1885 a new church in neo-Gothic style was consecrated. Elias Schlegel was born
in Prößdorf on May 17, 1750. He was tax and escort collector here and became a famous instrument maker and piano maker . Schlegel moved to Altenburg around 1790/91 , where he invented the piano piano in 1792 . In 2013 Schlegel is on the occasion of the celebrations "600 years of Prößdorf" with several press releases, including a. in the "Luckaer Lokalblatt". His life and work were documented with an author's contribution to the “Festival Book 600 Years of Prößdorf”. On the occasion of the inauguration celebrations, the Prößdorf Festival Committee gave him a commemorative plaque on the history of Prößdorf as an important son of the place.
After Lucka, Prößdorf was the northernmost place of the Wettin district 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 Saxony-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, Prößdorf belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). Judicially, the place was assigned to the Altenburg District Court since 1879 and to the Meuselwitz District Court since 1906 .
20th century
Around the turn of the century, the Phönix corporation bought the manor. At this time, the residents found more and more work underground in mining, so the place developed from a former farming village into a mining village. In the first half of the 20th century, numerous open-cast mines were built around Prößdorf, which lay between the Borna district in the north and the Meuselwitz-Altenburg lignite district in the south.
From 1918 onwards, Prößdorf belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 the community came to the Altenburg district . During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus the place came with the district Altenburg to the district of Leipzig .
At that time, the "Hemmendorf opencast mine", which was closed in 1952, had devastated the area to the east between Prößdorf and Lucka. In 1962, the Phönix-Nord open- cast mine west of Prößdorf was opened. In 1961, the government decided to cut the 9 and 25 meters thick brown coal seams , which were 20 and 60 meters deep . As Prößdorf was declared a mining protection area and relocation was planned, the historical building fabric and architectural details were not secured in the place. Valuable building fabric was irretrievably lost. When this decision was repealed, many residents sold their land, and so gardens with bungalows were created, which a large number of far-away owners also use for recreation. The Phönix-Nord opencast mine was closed prematurely in 1968.
When the Free State of Thuringia was re-established in 1990, Prößdorf became Thuringian again as part of the Altenburg district. Since 1994 the place belongs to the district of Altenburger Land. In this context, the incorporation to Lucka took place on March 8, 1994. In July 2013, Prößdorf celebrated its 600th anniversary with a folk festival. As part of these celebrations, a history and memorial plaque was inaugurated on the church square on July 4th, showing the key points of the 600-year history of Prößdorf in chronicle form.
Townscape
The site is clearly recognizable as a round shape in its ground plan , with gardens in the center. The old town center with its three-sided courtyards and later corner courtyards, which is rather untypical for the Altenburg farms that otherwise occur here , and the Kuhwinkel were built around the same time, but further settlement expansions were added.
The village renewal program provides for the development to a residential community with consideration and integration of natural resources. The implementation has already been achieved in recent years, for example the water lily as the center of community life and the church, which were renovated with the help of urban development funds. Concerts take place in the former church as well as civil weddings that are unique for the region and are known and appreciated far beyond the national borders.
