Rödgen was a village in the Leipzig-Land district , which was part of Störmthal from 1950 and fell victim to lignite mining in 1984 . Since the incorporation of Störmthal in 1996, the corridor has belonged to Großpösna .

Location and local characteristics

Rödgen was a street village with properties on both sides of the village street. In a south-westerly direction, it joined the castle park of the former Störmthal manor. The Schlumper brook ran parallel to the village and Rödgen lay on the right slope of the valley. The stream was dammed almost the entire length of the village into a pond, at the end of which the Rödgener watermill was operated with an overshot water wheel.

The neighboring towns of Rödgen were Störmthal in the north, Dreiskau in the south and Magdeborn in the west , to which there was also direct road connection. To the east, up the Schlumper, was the Schäferei district of Störmthal.

Today the former location of Rödgen is on the eastern shore of the Störmthal lake .

history

Rödgen was first mentioned in 1322 as Rode. The names Rodichin (1434), Redichen (1462), Rodigen (1551) and Klein Rüdigen (16th century) finally came to be Rödgen. Ten farms ( possessed men ) are listed for Rödgen from the 16th to the 18th century . The basic rule about Rödgen was incumbent on the manor Störmthal. In contrast, Rödgen was always parish in Magdeborn, although the Störmthal church was closer.

The municipality, which has been independent since the Saxon rural community order of 1838, was part of the electoral or royal Saxon district office of Leipzig until 1856 . From 1856 the place belonged to the Rötha court office and from 1875 to the Leipzig district administration . On July 1, 1950, Rödgen was incorporated into Störmthal. Since population numbers have been given for Rödgen (1834), these have always been around 100. Initially, the Rödgener were almost exclusively active in agriculture, and since the middle of the 20th century, with increasing mechanization of agriculture, also in the lignite industry. Due to the advancing lignite mining in the region, the Rödgen residents had to leave their village in 1984, which a short time later fell victim to the Espenhain open-cast mine . With the incorporation of Störmthal in 1996 to Großpösna, the former Rödgen area, which is now on the banks of the Störmthal lake that was created in the remaining pit of the mine, fell to Großpösna.

Sons and daughters of the place

  • Ferdinand Jost (born September 7, 1832 in Rödgen; † August 31, 1906 in Bad Kissingen ) was an art and antiques dealer in Leipzig . He donated his extensive collection to the Leipzig City History Museum . Ferdinand-Jost-Strasse in Leipzig- Stötteritz has been named after him since 1905 , and a street in Magdeborn used to be named after him . The church in Magdeborn was Jost's sole heir and used these funds to finance a major church restoration in 1912, which, apart from the tower, was equivalent to a new building.
